It seems that Elliotte Friedman may have accidentally revealed some information about an important trade that's reportedly going to happen.

Barbashev on the Move?
Now it looks like Ivan Barbashev, a highly sought-after free agent, could be involved in a similar move.
Elliotte Friedman hinted at this during his podcast, 32 Thoughts, suggesting that Barbashev might sign a contract lasting 8 years as an unrestricted free agent.
With the draft just a week away, teams are working hard to secure important players. Ivan Barbashev is likely to attract interest from many teams and could end up receiving a significant amount of money.
