Report: Bruins, Penguins interested in Antoine Vermette
Perry Nelson / USA TODAY Sports
It's no longer if or when, but where for Antoine Vermette.
As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to sell anything they can pass off as an asset, interest in arguably their most attractive chip is reportedly concentrated among perennial Eastern Conference powers, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Talks involving the veteran two-way center were heating up ahead of the NHL's trade freeze, Dreger said Tuesday in conversation with TSN 1260, and the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins are believed to have interest.
The asking price, as reported by Dreger last week, is a good young prospect and a roster player.
