VGK's Nic Hague has received a lot of attention this off-season.  He is now mentioned nearly every day in trade rumors. Teams that currently have expressed interest for the 6-6 Restricted Free Agent, include Montreal, Pittsburgh and Detroit. While, Philadelphia is now off the table according to the Athletic's Kevin Kurz.  David Pagnotta, of the Fourth Period, mentioned all those teams expressing interest in a recent report.  We discuss is any VGK players will be among the first six selected by their countries this weekend.  Jack Eichel is a shoo-in, but we arent sure who will be named as an early selection from VGK.  The rest of each country's roster will be announced in December for the Milan Olympics.  And, we have our locks and predictions for Stanley Cup Game 4.

Eliotte Friedman reported on his 32 Thoughts podcast that William Karlsson is not available for a trade.  This after other reports circulated that Karlsson was twice in trade talks for Mitch Marner. At the trade deadline this season it was reported that Karlsson's name was out there in a possible trade to Carolina.  A year ago, it was reported, Karlsson and Shea Theodore were in talks to go to Toronto for Marner.  We also tal about the VGK caravan, which takes over Arizona this summer.  And, we have updates on the Stanley Cup Final

According to the Athletic's James Mirtle, the Golden Knights were willing to shed $10-million n cap space in a three-way deal at the trade deadline.  The money would have been in salaries for two of three players - Ivan Barbeshev, Tomas Hertl and William Karlsson.  The deal would have landed Mitch Marner in Las Vegas.  Mikko Rantanen would have been sent to Toronto and two VGK players would be headed to Carolina.  Marner eventually decided to deny the trade by using his no-trade clause.  We also find it hard to believe that VGK's Bruce Cassidy didn't even get a vote in the Jack Adams voting.  And, we recap a physical Game 3 in the Cup Final. 

According to a weekend report on 32 Thoughts, Alex Pietrangelo could miss next season.  Would this mean he could be placed on LTIR saving nearly $9-million in cap space.  We aren't sure what injury he could have or if it's just wear and tear. We also talk about a report that said William Karlsson was included in trade talks with the Maple Leafs a year ago.  And we preview Game 3 of the Cup Final.

Our list of most likely Golden Knights to be traded this off-season: Nic Hague, Ivan Barbeshev, William Karlsson and Tanner Pearson.  This is based on reports, cap concern and other variables.  We break down why we feel these players could be traded.  We preview the second game of the Cup Series.  Can the Panthers rebound before heading back to Florida? And we have our WTF comments from fans.

Welcome to the NHL Squad Show! Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Eddie Garcia (Locked On Kings) and David Morassutti (Locked On Leafs) are here to talk about the Stanley Cup Final beginning and where Mitch Marner is going to go in free agency, as well as some other key free agents!

The Edmonton Oilers took a 1-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final as Leon Draisaitl scored twice including the game-winner late in overtime in a 4-3 Oilers win.  The winning goal came after former Golden Knight Tomas Nosek was called for a delay of game penalty after putting the puck over the glass.  The Oilers scored on a play in which Corey Perry moved the puck fast to Connor McDavid who went cross-slot to Draisaitl who potted the winning goal.   Edmonton trailed 3-1 in the game after a disputed Bennett goal was not overturned on appeal then the Panthers scored on the ensuing power play, as Brad Marchand scored.  After that, Stuart Skinner shutout the Panthers for the final 57 1/2 minutes of the game.  Rumor season continues, and the latest news has VGK and the Flyers in deep conversations for a trade involving RFA Nic Hague.  And the NHL says no expansion plans in the immediate future.
