NHL Trade Rumors | More Trades Coming for Lou? Teams interested in Turco, Niedermayer

Mark Everson of the NY Post: It appears New Jersey Devils GM, Lou Lamoriello, isn’t done dealing. Rumors are floating around that he’s trying to acquire another centerman. He talked to Hurricanes about Matt Cullen and the Maple Leafs about Matt Stajan. Though not a center, there is speculation that the Devils might be interested in Alexei Ponikarovsky.

Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger: Lamoriello will also look at adding another defenseman, maybe Scott Niedermayer.

Tim Sassone of the Daily Herald:

There is still plenty of speculation in Chicago that the Blackhawks are unsure of their goaltending situation. Antti Niemi has started 4 consectuative games, and is most likely their #1 goalie. Does management think a Marty Turco would be an upgrade over Niemi? They’d also have to look at what it would cost to acquire Turco, a 1st and a prospect?
If the Anaheim Ducks and Scott Niedermayer decide to move on, the Blackhawks, Canucks, and Devils would be interested.
Are the Capitals unsure of their goaltending situation, and make a run at Marty Turco.
Big names in Florida that may be available; Tomas Vokoun, Nathan Horton, David Booth, Dennis Seidenberg, and Jordan Leopold.

Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News: 3 goalies, 2 spots … What will Dallas do? If the Dallas Stars think Marty Turco has played well enough recently and is their best shot to make the playoffs, they may look at trading Alex Auld or sending him to the AHL. They could also trade Turco, which has been rumored for months, but in Heika’s opinion, they’d need to receive more than a 2nd round pick.
