NHL Sources Say: Senators and Kings are talking. Kings looking for a top forward, Senators looking for 2 roster players and a pick. Spezza/Fisher/Michalek have been discussed, no knowledge of what Kings are offering.
David Pagnotta via twitter: On Spezza to the Kings … hasn’t heard anything, and would be shocked if it happened.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman will be in Ottawa next week, and could announce that Ottawa will host the 2012 NHL All-Star Game. More than 25 teams put in bids to host the 2011-12 All-Star game.
Pavel Lysenkov via twitter: Kovalchuk plans to play all 15 years, and doesn’t exclude that can play in the KHL if there is an NHL lockout.
