Dave Pagnotta of The Fourth Period joined TSN Radio in Montreal on Monday forward of the Friday NHL Commerce Deadline and was requested about any potential surprising trades that would occur that will don’t see coming.

Host: “I feel again to final yr’s commerce deadline. You joined us, I feel each on the Monday and on the Friday itself, and also you advised us that Vegas was engaged on one thing important, however you couldn’t inform us what it was. Keep in mind that I do?”
NHL Rumors: Carolina Hurricanes, Mikko Rantanen, and the New Jersey Devils
Dave Pagnotta: “Sure.”
Host: “And then you definitely joined us at 11, and then you definitely fast-forward to the deadline at simply after three o’clock, and the Golden Knights go and get Tomas Hertl. There was like, what Tomas Hertl was even obtainable? No person noticed it coming, however you knew Vegas was sniffing round it. Is there a group or participant like that this yr that could be a bit bit off the radar?”
Dave Pangotta: “I hope so it’ll actually spice issues as much as that extent. I feel it’s nonetheless early for that sort of a shocker to sort of be be revealed. One group I’m interested by, and this wouldn’t lead to the identical sort of deal that Vegas ended up making, however primarily futures, was futures, this could be an even bigger blockbuster asset-type deal.
There’s lots of noise round, and has been for the final month round St. Louis. And whereas lots of consideration has been positioned on Brayden Schenn, Jordan Kyrou is a participant that his identify has been floating round for a short while. And if St. Louis does one thing massive and daring, not a future-type deal, however an old style Star-for Star sort swap.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Jordan Kyrou’s on the market or finally ends up being a participant that a type of, a type of massive items that then will get transferring for an additional massive piece. Unsure what course they’re going to go in, and so they don’t must. He’s received time period. He’s received his no-trade that kicks in July 1st, to allow them to even wait till {the summertime} or the draft earlier than making a giant deal. However he’s a really curious identify that I’m taking a look at.
The others are out of Buffalo, the same old suspects with (Dylan) Cozens and (Bowen) Byram that they proceed to hear on. Groups have been poking round on (Alex) Tuch. There’s lots of reluctance to do this. However the different curious identify is Owen Energy, and he’s received his long-term deal. He doesn’t have any no-trade safety. That kicks in for a couple of years due to his age.
NHL Rumors: Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Vancouver Canucks
However from my understanding that the Sabers haven’t advised groups they’re not keen to at the least take calls on. (Rasmus) Dahlin neglect about it. Tage Thompson, no probability. Tuch you’re going to must pay a ridiculous premium once more to get him. However Cozens and Byram have been on the market. My understanding is that Owen Energy, they’ll hear on. However that is one other star-for-start sort of deal if it finally ends up occurring.
