Welcome to today's news and rumors rundown

We start in Edmonton with an update on an extension for Leon Dreisaitl. His camp believes it will get done, but that the ball is in the Oilers court
0:10
He will get a hefty raise on his current deal and likely won't give the Oilers a team discount
0:16
Next we head to Toronto where there are injury concerns with new signing Yanni Hakenpah
0:20
Reporter Steve Simmons said that his knee issues were a reason why the Stars didn't re-sign him
0:24
However, the Maple Leafs medical staff cleared him. We will see if this becomes a big story in training camp
0:29
Moving further across Canada, Steve Stahels apparently had an offer of a first and second
0:33
round pick for Jacob Chikren at the draft. As it turns out he didn't get that and had to settle for Nick Jensen and a third from
0:39
the Capitals. We end this edition in Montreal where there is speculation that GM Kent Hughes will explore
0:43
the trade market for scoring forwards rather than free agency, which doesn't have a lot
0:47
of high end options left. He has some draft capital that he could trade so he could definitely make a deal if he wanted to
0:53
And that's it for today's news and rumors rundown. Stay tuned for more as the offseason continues
