NHL Rumors: Karlsson, Hurricanes, Maple Leafs, Devils, Hamonic, and Top Remaining Free Agents

Hurricanes still interested in Erik Karlsson

Pierre LeBrun: The Carolina Hurricanes continue to work towards a trade for San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson.

The next 24-48 will be interesting.

O’Reilly decided to move on from Toronto

Darren Dreger: The Toronto Maple Leafs were wanting to re-sign Ryan O’Reilly and that term and money weren’t an issue. O’Reilly decided he wanted to play outside of Toronto.

A free agent goalie more likely for the Devils than Hellebuyck

Darren Dreger: They have some interest in Connor Hellebuyck, but the New Jersey Devils are more likely to sign a free agent goalie to play 30-35 games. The Devils are happy with what they currently have but may look for some added depth.

Erik Johnson had plenty of options

Lance Lysowski: Defenseman Erik Johnson said that he had five or six offers before deciding on the Buffalo Sabres.

Travis Hamonic could return to the Senators

Jim Biringer: Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion said at the draft that there was a deal to be made with defense Travis Hamonic but the dollar amount may not be at what Hamonic was wanting.
