The Nashville Predators are reportedly pursuing a trade for defenseman David Jiricek from the Columbus Blue Jackets, offering a first-round pick among other assets. However, their offer is not as competitive as that of the Minnesota Wild.
Meanwhile, Vancouver Canucks forward Nils Hoglander is attracting interest from several teams, including the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, as he navigates a three-year contract.
The Canucks are also awaiting updates on defenseman Filip Hronek's status, as they remain cautious in the trade market despite their defensive struggles.
