NHL Trade Rumors | Panthers looking to move Horton? Too pricey for the Bruins? Cheechoo to Pittsburgh?

Larry Brooks of the NY Post: The Florida Panthers are looking to trade Nathan Horton, but aren’t getting the return they’d like. Horton’s work ethic could one reason, and I’m sure with his solid play before for he got hurt increased the asking price.

John Glennon of the Tennessean: Predators GM David Poile met with Dan Hamhuis’s agent last week, but remain apart in salary. If they were to trade Hamhuis, they’d need to bring in another Dman. They also have the 2 UFA goalies, so 1 might be moved by the deadline.

Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal:

The Ducks are trying to move Ryan Whitney and his $4 million cap hit that goes for another 3 years.
Could the Kings send Alex Frolov to the Sabres for Craig Rivet? Boston and Montreal could be interested.
The Kings could trade a 2nd round pick for a scoring winger. Prospects Colten Tuebert and Tomas Hickey could also be moved.

Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe: The Bruins could use a puck moving defenseman and a winger who can put the puck in the net. The asking prices have been too high for Chiarelli so far.

Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald: “The deals that are out there are complete horse (expletive) right now,” the GM said a couple of hours before Friday’s trade embargo for the Olympic break kicked in. “And that’s no fault of the sellers because there are only a few sellers and they’re asking for the moon and it’s not something I’m willing to give. While you have to be careful, you can be aggressive also, and I fashion myself and my staff as proactive when it comes to these things. By the same token, a deal for the sake of a deal is usually not the right deal to make.”

Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch: Even if the Columbus Blue Jackets trade Raffi Torres, he’d still be open to re-signing with them after July 1st. The Blue Jackets are looking for a 2nd round pick for Torres.

Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A reader writes in asking if the Penguins might bring in Jonathan Cheechoo. Molinari, doesn’t think so, and thinks that he’ll be stuck in the AHL for the remainder of the season due to his high salary.

Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette: New Montreal Canadiens GM, Pierre Gauthier should name a team captain. If Andre Markov is interested, he would be the leading candidate.

Detroit News: Johan Franzen will replace teammate Tomas Holmstrom on Team Sweden.
