It was reported over the weekend that Hayes is drawing a lot of interest around the league and some have noted that Calgary is believed to be interested in him.

Larry Brooks notes that teams around the league have been "nibbling" at Spooner. (NY Post)

Rick Carpiniello writes that there is "very little, if any chance" that Namestnikov and/or Spooner are going to be with the Rangers past the draft. (The Athletic)

Carpiniello notes that Hayes has a "lot of value" around the league and that he has the most value of any of the Rangers RFA forwards. (The Athletic)

He says that Gorton has let the league know that the Rangers are "open for business." (The Athletic)

Carpiniello also notes that teams are calling the Rangers about Mika Zibanejad. (The Athletic)

Larry Brooks wrote over the weekend that Namestnikov, nor Jimmy Vesey, would bring enough to merit a "substantial" return but that one of them could be used for some maneuvering during the draft. (The Athletic)
