In Red Wings Land

There is a rookie tournament in works for this fall in Traverse City but it will be a smaller gathering than usual. Detroit obviously, with Columbus, Dallas, St. Louis and Toronto are expected clubs to participate.

Good news. This is always a good time.

Flyers acquire Ellis, Golden Knights get Patrick in three-team deal
The Flyers, Golden Knights and Predators have linked up on a three-team deal involving Ryan Ellis, Nolan Patrick, Philippe Myers and Cody Glass, according to Elliotte Friedman.

Per Friedman, Ellis is being acquired by the Flyers in exchange for Patrick and Myers. The Predators are flipping Patrick to the Golden Knights for Glass.

There were so many trades yesterday it was hard to pick one. Nashville did very poorly here in my opinion. Toronto also fleeced Pittsburgh for Jared McCann.

You can see all the trades here. From what I understand, the expansion draft lists will be made public at 10am. I’ll have an article up shortly after that.

Also, you still have a few hours to get your questions in about the draft for two people who actually know a lot about these prospects. No, not Sara and me, Will and Dylan.
