The 2014 NHL Entry Draft goes on Friday and Saturday in Philadelphia. While this year's NHL draft will certainly not be able to match the talent pool of Thursday's NBA Draft, or even most other NHL Drafts for that matter, there are still some extremely talented players available. The best part about the NHL Draft, however, is usually the trades/rumors (and not the lame NBA trade system but actual trades announced at the podium). Stay tuned all day long for the latest updates.

Maybe he should have sent out Adam Silver just this once...
— lisa dillman (@reallisa) June 27, 2014
By now, any announcement of a trade of the No. 1 pick would be held until Gary Bettman takes the podium shortly after 7. #NHLdraft

Just spoke with Tanner Glass. He confirmed that he isn't coming back to the Penguins next season.

I'm told that the Senators don't have a good offer on the table for Jason Spezza. He won't be traded today if it doesn't change. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) June 27, 2014
Some on Draft floor are convinced the 1st pick overall is on the move and the Canucks may be the target. Still early and no sign of Tallon.

Cap officially announced at $69 million for 2014-15. The floor is $51 million,

Maloney said this move was purely about behavioral issues and not cost-saving move. Ribeiro has been seeking help this summer, Maloney said.

As @DarrenDreger predicted earlier, @ArizonaCoyotes announce they're buying out Mike Ribeiro

BREAKING: #NYR has acquired a 3rd round pick (the 85th overall) in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft from VAN in exchange for forward Derek Dorsett.
— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) June 27, 2014
NBC's Pierre McGuire says #Canucks might have cleared cap space to try & acquire #Sabres D Tyler Myers. $5.5M cap hit, 5 yrs remaining.
— Matthew Sekeres (@mattsekeres) June 27, 2014
Told the Coyotes are strongly considering buying out Mike Ribeiro. The veteran forward is under contract through 2016-2017. Not official.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) June 27, 2014
#Canucks are not only freeing up cap space but stockpiling draft picks. Now have 6, 24, 36, 50 and 66 in first three rounds.

Canucks get 50th overall pick in the draft from Tampa Bay in exchange for Jason Garrison, the rights to Jeff Costello and 7th rder 2015.

Disney World > Disneyland
Cc: @Ryan_Kesler
— Strombone (@strombone1) June 27, 2014
Now that VAN has traded Kesler to ANA, hearing VAN still very active, may still be looking for No. 1 overall, perhaps trading Garrison.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 27, 2014
#NHLDucks and #Canucks confirm the trade: Kesler and 3rd in 2015 for Bonino, Sbisa, the 24th and 85th in 2014.
— Stephen Whyno (@SWhyno) June 27, 2014
Anaheim will trade Bonino, Sbisa plus 24th overall pick and teams will swap third-rounders once deal goes through
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) June 27, 2014
Sens folks think Panthers in hunt for captain C Jason Spezza. but not for top pick. Sens dont pick til 40 #flapanthers

ANA and VAN working hard at Kesler deal...trying to get it done
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 27, 2014
Source says #Blackhawks are listening to offers for winger Patrick Sharp.
— Chris Kuc (@ChrisKuc) June 27, 2014
Hearing TB and MTL as potential landing spots for Garrison. TB was interested in Garrison when he was UFA and chose VAN.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 27, 2014
Legit chance VAN deals defenceman Jason Garrison although he has full NTC. It's believed he would reluctantly waive depending on location.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 27, 2014
Hearing Fleury not in play, Neal definitely is for #pens as far as trades. Also, Rutherford looking to find cap space with some deals
— Rob Rossi (@RobRossi_Trib) June 27, 2014
I am told several teams are taking to @NHLJets about acquiring the rights to Alexander Burmistrov. Good chance he gets moved prior to July 1
— Brian Lawton (@brianlawton9) June 27, 2014
Doesn't sound like either Buffalo or Edmonton are interested in moving the 2nd or 3rd pick overall.

Stars GM Jim Nill on trade chatter; "There's lots of talk going on, but I can't say there is a lot going on. But there is a lot talk."
— Mark Stepneski (@StarsInsideEdge) June 27, 2014

Sabres GM Tim Murray is disappointed all the trade chatter so far has not resulted in trades, says there must be a blockbuster somewhere.
— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) June 27, 2014
Bryan Murray wouldn't post odds, but I was told the chances of a Spezza trade today are "50-50." My hunch is it gets done. #sens
— Wayne Scanlan (@HockeyScanner) June 27, 2014
After schmoozing in Philly I'm feeling Panthers are trading pick and will focus on D in free agency instead of taking Ekblad. #gutfeeling

Reminder for Sens fans: Just like a watched pot never boils, a constantly refreshed Twitter feed doesn't make a Spezza trade.
— Ian Mendes (@ian_mendes) June 27, 2014
Dale Tallon is telling gm's he has 1 really good offer for 1st pick overall. Not sure he's going to take it. Other so-so offers as well.
