No trades imminent for Saints WRs Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave
Entering today’s action at 1-7, the Saints could stand to sell at the upcoming trade deadline. It remains to be seen if they will do so, but for now it does not appear as though any major moves are forthcoming.
New Orleans’ receiver tandem of Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed has drawn significant interest recently, and the latter represents a logical candidate to be dealt. New Orleans is open to moving on from Shaheed, a pending free agent, but a drop in asking price would likely be needed for that to take place. The team has already reportedly requested a third-round pick from an AFC suitor.
No movement on the Shaheed front has taken place, while an Olave extension remains a possbility. Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com confirms the trade markets in both cases have been “tepid” up to this point. It would come as a surprise if a buyer were to part with a Day 2 selection for a rental, although there is of course precedent in that regard. In any event, Duncan predicts there will not be any substantial deals finalized over the next few days.
It will be interesting to see if teams which bow out of the Shaheed sweepstakes turn their attention to Cooks as a fallback WR option prior to Tuesday afternoon’s deadline. Failing a move along those lines, it could very well prove to be a quiet deadline for the Saints.
Patrick Kane’s Availability Clarified as Red Wings Continue Road Trip
The Detroit Red Wings have been without forward Patrick Kane since he suffered an upper-body injury during their 2-1 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 17.
Shortly before Dylan Larkin's overtime game-winning goal, Kane slid awkwardly into the boards behind the net and skated slowly back to the bench favoring his shoulder.
He had officially been designated as day-to-day by head coach Todd McLellan, though he's been able to skate.
While there was hope that Kane would be able to join the Red WIngs at some point on their five-game road swing which continues with a Sunday evening tilt against the San Jose Sharks, that hope has now been dashed.
Per Max Bultman of The Athletic, who is on the trip with the club, Kane will not be available for the duration of the road swing.
No, he will not join Red Wings on this trip
Any news on kane is he playing tonight
Following their contest against the Sharks, the Red Wings have one game remaining on the road on Tuesday evening against the Vegas Golden Knights before they return home to play the New York Rangers on Nov. 7.
Just as he did last season, Kane had been playing on Detroit's second line combination with Alex DeBrincat and Marco Kasper.
With three goals and two assists in the five games that he's appeared in, Kane had been producing at a point-per-game pace.
