from Nichols On Hockey,

Elliotte Friedman was on Calgary’s Sportsnet 960 on Monday morning.

On the Boston Bruins:

“I think Boston is really trying hard to do something. Like, there was a rumor going around last night they were really trying to close a deal with Vermette. Some people I know who were at the world junior game from NHL teams had heard that. I don’t know if it’s going to happen or not, but that rumor was going around last night."

On if Milan Lucic is really available:

"The only thing I've heard about Lucic I think there's at least one team, I believe, that's asked about him and I don't think there was a deal to be made there.
