June 2 Rumor Mill Spins Bettman, McDavid, Barzal And More

The rumor mill is doing what it always does in June - refusing to sit still for even a minute. Bettman talk, McDavid-to-Montreal noise, a Barzal trade whisper, and a possible MacFarland-to-Predators angle all get tossed into the mix, which is enough to make even a veteran cap watcher reach for a second coffee. Some of it is smoke, some of it is league theater, and the fun is figuring out which whispers have real legs.
