Jakub Vrana is still pursuing opportunities in the NHL despite facing interest from European teams, such as Linköping HC in Sweden and Sparta Praha in Czechia. While he has a history with Linköping, the team’s director urged caution regarding any potential signing, stating that discussions are ongoing.

The Edmonton Oilers are also in the spotlight as several key players, including Connor McDavid and Jake Walman, are eligible for contract extensions. Insider Bob Stauffer suggested that significant progress on extensions might occur after an upcoming wedding, with projections indicating McDavid could secure an eight-year deal at a $15.39 million cap hit.
