Brock Boeser trade rumours also dominated the day, with Frank Seravalli reporting that interest in the winger is high:

According to Frank Seravalli, conversation has really picked up on a Brock Boeser trade. Higher possibility than a JT Miller. #canucks

Rick Dhaliwal suggests that the Canucks, though, are not actively shopping the winger:

An interesting development on the Blackhawks GM search front:

Teresa Resch being in the mix as the new Chicago Blackhawks GM might seem unusual. But those who have worked with the Toronto Raptors VP of basketball ops see it as an inevitability that another organization would try to hire her away. (@michaelgrange).https://t.co/iNhAJAhncd
