Significant Development in Zach Werenski Trade Talks
There's been a significant development in the Zach Werenski situation in Columbus, which from all accounts, was getting quite nasty, leading up to Werenski vetoing a trade to Dallas on Tuesday. According to insider Darren Dreger, all sides have talked on Wednesday to calm things down. A trade "isn't on the radar" for now.

SIGNED: Matias Maccelli Chooses Free Agency Destination

SIGNED: Stuart Skinner Signs With Canadian Team
The Winnipeg Jets are adding another NHL-tested goalie, signing Stuart Skinner as free agency continues to move fast. Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Skinner is signing with Winnipeg on a two-year deal worth $3.75 million per season.

Report: Larkin Trade To Wild Contingent On One Key Factor
If there's any chance at all of Dylan Larkin being traded to the Minnesota Wild this offseason, it would be contingent on one player who MUST be included in the deal, per insider Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet . The Red Wings would have no problem trading Dylan Larkin to Minnesota if the Wild were prepared to part with Matt Boldy. Other than (Matt) Boldy, there is nothing else Detroit GM Steve Yzerman is too interested in. We'd have to believe that Larkin wouldn't be pleased to go to Minnesot...
