Welcome to today's news and rumors rundown. We start in Edmonton and more on Drysaddle's
0:07
upcoming extension. According to his agent, they are looking to finalize an 8-year deal
0:10
in the near future. As for numbers, it will likely fall between $13 and $13.5 million
0:15
per season. Next we head to Carolina where there are reports of both the Sabres and Jets made significant pitches to acquire Martin Nietzsche before
0:22
he signed his 2-year extension. The Jets reportedly offered McGrory, Perfetti, and a draft pick
0:26
but both deals ultimately fell through because Nietzsche didn't want to sign with them
0:30
And now over to the Sunshine State where there are rumors that Aaron Ackbaid could be on the move if GM Bill Zito decides to be proactive at the deadline. He is in the final season of
0:38
his $7.5 million AAV contract, but could be tough to trade with his 12-team no trade list and large
0:43
cap hit. And we finish in Montreal where the Canadians have signed two of their RFAs in
0:47
Arbor Jacke and Justin Baron. They both got 2-year deals, with Jacke coming at $1.3 million at AAV
0:53
and Baron at $1.15 million. And that's it for today's news and rumors rundown
