...There is also interest in goaltender Jimmy Howard. Petr Mrazek is not drawing interest – he was offered to Philadelphia after the Flyers lost Brian Elliott last week (he’s out five-to-six weeks) for an asking price of a third-round pick and the Flyers declined. The Wings are trying to move defenseman Xavier Ouellet, who doesn't fit into their plans any more. Forward Gustav Nyquist is drawing interest, though he has a year left on his contract.

This too...

Depend somewhat on what happens with general manager Ken Holland, who is in the last year of his contract. If Holland stays, Blashill stays. I know higher-ups in the organization think Blashill has done a good job given what he has to work with. Many players have played better than they did last season even though it doesn’t show in the standings....
