Adrian Dater via Twitter: The Avalanche are looking to add a forward with grit/leadership, with possibility of a defenseman being moved. Dater thinks the Hurricanes could be a trade partner.
Chris Stevenson of Canoe – Slam! Sports: Stevenson thinks the LA Kings will be interested in Brad Richards if he becomes available. The Kings could play Richards on the left side with Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown. The Kings have the cap space and the prospects.
