So two late first round picks and an early second rounder and Namestnikov. If we look at where those prospects were taken. That's a lot. https://t.co/HwJdrfYDXt

Being told that @NYRangers Ryan McDonagh sweepstakes is down to 4 clubs. All in the Eastern Conference. Going to come down to if Jim Dolan has laid down the law that we do it right and build from the ground up! Sense management doesn't want to move him but....

Good amount of interest in JT Miller and Mats Zuccarello. However, no team has been aggressive enough to this point to suggest trade likely.

Cole to CBJ for a 3rd and Moutrey.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) February 26, 2018
Ian Cole has been traded to Columbus
— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) February 26, 2018
Belief is that the Jackets have also showed some interest in Ian Cole, a player GM Jarmo Kekalainen help draft during his days in St. Louis. But I wonder if trying to trade Cole depends on what happens with Jack Johnson first...

Among the potential Ottawa Senators on the move today, Ian Cole will likely go first. Winnipeg is among the teams with interest.
