Chris Johnston on SN590 last night:

"I think the Palmieri thing is significant because one, I do believe the Leafs have some interest in him but two, it's a sign that things are starting to move. I mean, last week was very quiet around the league."

"There's been some indication he may not necessarily want to come to Canada, he does have a limited no trade clause. Although now that the quarantine has been reduced to 7 days, you might see an Eric Staal situation."

"He didn't want to quarantine either when it was 14 days but ended up waiving to go to Montreal. So I think that's something to watch. I really do believe (TOR) will have at least one new forward for sure as of Tuesday the 13th, if not two. And then we look for a goaltender."

"It doesn't seem at this point barring some kind of injury or another situation cropping up that they're all that interested in a D. I think they'd like a forward that has a bit of an ability to play playoff hockey. A bit more rugged, maybe, than just a skill player."

"I think Palmieri fits the bill. I think Nick Foligno fits the bill if Columbus decides to move him. If it isn't one of those two guys, they're going to have to maybe recalibrate their expectations."
