** In an effort to get caught up and post some more rumors before they expire, we’ll run some posts with embedded tweets as oppose to the re-writes. Lots to still get at today. **
On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
Hearing TOR would like to do more. Curious to see if TOR can use cap space/LTIR cushion to take on contract and get premium for doing so.

On the Vancouver Canucks …
One surprise trade for me that makes sense would be Ryan Miller @Canucks for Elliot @NHLFlames
— Brian Lawton (@brianlawton9) February 28, 2017
These things are fluid but Flames are not on Ryan Miller’s 5-team list in which he’d accept a trade.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) February 28, 2017
Still hearing the chances of a Ryan Miller trade are less than 50/50. Of course, things can change quickly as the deadline nears. #Canucks

The Alberta teams are not on Ryan Miller’s trade-approved list, and thus far, San Jose has shown little interest. #Canucks #NHLTradeDeadline

Canucks are studying the possibility of trading Ryan Miller. Flames and Sharks are among teams looking for a goaltender. #tvasports

On the New York Islanders …
With at least 3 teams in mix, Halak trade may not occur until tomorrow. But all signs point to him being moved.
— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) February 28, 2017
Curious as to where Halak fits. Calgary? Philly? Both teams have UFA goalie tandems and Halak has a year left.

On the Dallas Stars …
Hearing number of teams interested in Johnny Oduya @DallasStars had a down year but teams debating if still an effective top 4D. I think so.

On the Tampa Bay Lightning …
TB has list of 16 teams Valtteri Filppula can be traded to; 13 he can’t. Belief is TB has approached him to consider waiving to one of 13.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 28, 2017
Unclear at this point if Filppula waiving is a possibility before 3 p.m. ET trade deadline on Wed. As they, or I, like to say: Stay tuned.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 28, 2017
Don't believe #tblightning is done trying to making moves. Continuing to work as Wednesday's 3 pm deadline approaches. We'll see.
