The Anaheim Ducks<\/a> lifer does have a full no-movement clause and would have to sign off on any trade. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman did say a move isn’t likely.<\/p>\n The Regina, Saskatchewan native is also an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Anaheim general manager Bob Murray<\/a> may be tempted to get something for the veteran forward at the deadline. Getzlaf does make $8.25 million and would likely need the Ducks to retain some salary.<\/p>\n The move would have Getzlaf reunite with his old Anaheim running buddy Corey Perry<\/a>, who has been a good value this season. However, Perry needs some help if the Habs are going to hang onto a playoff place.<\/p>\n Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin<\/a> has been busy, as he got defenceman Jon Merrill from the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>. However, getting some forward grit is a staple move of the Canadiens GM.<\/p>\n Rumour: Chris Johnston of Sportsnet revealed during the intermission of the Calgary Flames and Oilers game that Edmonton is looking for defence.<\/em><\/p>\n Chris Johnston at the intermission says Oilers are looking for D, they were in on Patrick Nemeth before he got dealt to Colorado for a second stint, Johnston says Del Zotto could make sense for Edmonton.<\/p>\n \u2014 NHL Watcher (@NHL_Watcher) April 11, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nEdmonton Oilers<\/h3>\n
