Rick Tocchet and Rick Bowness were together at NHL All-Star Weekend when news broke that the Winnipeg Jets traded for Sean Monahan.
“It’s a great move by Winnipeg, great move by Vancouver getting our guy.”Toss in the Colorado Avalanche signing veteran winger Zach Parise around the same time, and the race for players is already well underway in the Western Conference.
And there's still three weeks left until the March 8 deadline, as trade talk picks up and plenty more movement is expected.
“Obviously, (we have) a lot of good players and a lot skill — strength throughout the whole lineup.
Getting Parise without having to give up draft picks, prospects or players from their roster was a nice first step for general manager Chris MacFarland.
