In this weekend\u2019s NHL rumors and rumblings, there are several key storylines still unresolved. Among them areMarco Rossi\u2019s contract status, Connor McDavid<\/a>\u2019s extension in Edmonton, and ongoing speculation around Nazem Kadri<\/a> in Calgary.<\/p>\n

Marco Rossi<\/a>\u2019s Future in Minnesota<\/p>\n

According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli <\/a>(via Bleacher Report on July 22), an offer sheet for Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi is unlikely. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone would be willing to step up and pay; I don\u2019t think they could present any number that would scare off the Wild,\u201d Seravalli noted, indicating that Minnesota remains in full control of Rossi\u2019s restricted free agency.<\/p>\n

As it pertains to a possible extension, Seravalli suggested that Rossi will be aiming for a contract closer to Matt Boldy<\/a>\u2018s seven-year, $49 million deal. The Wild don\u2019t want to go that high. Seravalli notes, \u201cThey have the leverage.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Wild haven\u2019t done much in free agency, but that could change soon. \u201cLook for the Wild to be a really aggressive team moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDavid Extension Watch<\/p>\n

Talks between the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid\u2019s camp remain tightly under wraps, but some timelines are starting to emerge. TSN\u2019s Ryan Rishaug suggested<\/a> at the start of the month that late July or early August could be the window for an extension announcement. He expected it would be in the four-year range.<\/p>\n

Jason Gregor recently added that there\u2019s no concern that McDavid won\u2019t re-sign. \u201cThe term should be the conversation,\u201d he added, alluding to the likely focus being on contract length. <\/p>\n

Edmonton GM Stan Bowman, meanwhile, appears content with the team\u2019s current direction, though John Shannon pointed out that the goaltending situation could still use clarity.<\/p>\n

Trade talk doesn\u2019t stop when it comes to Calgary Flames forward Nazem Kadri. There are reasons teams would be looking at him, but multiple insiders report that Calgary isn\u2019t actively looking to move him. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re not interested in moving him,\u201d said Seravalli, while David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period added that moving Kadri \u201cdoesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense unless it\u2019s a hockey trade.\u201d The Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens were the two most frequently mentioned teams linked to Kadri. Both teams would need to move money around to make it work. <\/p>\n
