LeBrun: NHL trade talks "really picking up"
/Pierre LeBrun was on Toronto’s TSN 1050 on Tuesday evening.
On the NHL trade scene:
"Talks are really picking up. For sure. Now sometimes, when it starts to pick up, it still takes another three to four weeks for the more complicated deals to come together, but I do sense from talking to teams around the league that the intensity in some of the communication has picked up.
“And certainly Edmonton is at the heart of it. Something’s got to give there. You would hope they won’t do something out of panic. That’s not going to help a franchise that has been spinning its wheels for eight years. For sure there’s talk with a lot of different teams involving the Oilers and we’ll see what they can get done.”
