Welcome to today's news and rumors rundown. We start
in Vancouver with the latest on trade chatter surrounding the
Canucks. Freeman confirmed a report on Tuesday by the
athletics Josh Yo that Vancouver turned down a Miller for
Zannajad deal. He does admit there are some semantics
involved and that the details of the exact trade pitch
and offer aren't exactly straightforward. In non-related trade talk
news, Defenseman Philip Peroni is nearing a return for
the Canucks as he was sent down to the AHL
for a conditioning stint. Moving to Detroit, Freeman
also noted that the Red Wings are interested in Dylan
Cousins from the Sabres. He's attracted a ton of
attention this season as the Sabres try and decide if
they're willing to move him. This is a good
young player who might need a fresh start, but
the Sabres have been burnt in the past, giving
up on young talent too quickly. But the Red
Wings' cousins make sense in their competitive timeline. He's
younger and will be a core piece of the team
. It's not clear what was offered or if conversations
have gotten to a point where an offer has been
tabled, and that's it for this edition of the
news and rumors rundown.
