Will DePaoli: The Penguins are listening to offers on James Neal but not actively shopping him. They have let teams know that they are not interested in futures.
Gary Lawless: Other teams are saying that Jets are listening to offers for Evander Kane. Been told “it’s a big deal so there is some nervousness.” If the Jets do decide to trade Kane, the price will be high and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff won’t back down from his price.
Eric Stephens: Ducks GM Bob Murray said he be getting “to some serious talking” in Philadelphia.
Bruce Garrioch: Confirming that the Blackhawks have shown interest in Jason Spezza. Six teams could be kicking tires on Spezza.
Jimmy Murphy: Heard the Canadiens and Panthers are talking trade that doesn’t involve the first overall pick.
Mark Spector: The Oilers are still looking to add another defenseman through a trade. They are unlikely to find a high end puck-mover. The Oilers would take another solid NHL defenseman to allow the young kids to mature.
AndyStrickland: The Sabres are considering their options with regards to Chris Stewart, could be on the move.
Andy Strickland: The Blues could look to add a defenseman to play on the left side with Kevin Shattenkirk.
Joe Smith: Ideally Yzerman would like to acquires a young defenseman that is still under contract, which is not easy to do.
