NHL Rumors

  • Ken Campbell of The Hockey News: The Tomas Kaberle rumors won’t go away despite Burke saying he won’t ask him to waive his no-trade clause, and Kaberle saying he wants to stay. This one has the Leafs sending Kaberle to the Canucks for prospect Cody Hodgson.
  • John Vogl of the Buffalo News: Sabres GM, Darcy Regier has made a trade at the deadline in each of his 11 seasons. Does Regier look to add a power-play quarterback, like a Joe Corvo? Could they go after a Cory Stillman or Nathan Horton from Florida, or the gritty Ben Eager from Chicago?
  • Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: The Blue Jackets will be trading Raffi Torres, who said he’d be fine with re-signing with them even if he’s traded, but that probably won’t happen. The money they save should go into a fund to upgrade their defense. Hejda or Klesla may not be back next season. Mike Commedore’s contract makes him hard to trade. Milan Jurcina is trade bait.
  • Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The Penguins don’t plan on trading a 1st round pick and a prospect for anyone. Cross off Ray Whitney then. Max Talbot, if he can return healthy, will be like adding someone at the deadline. The Penguins could use a big, tough, physical defenseman. Alex Goligoski might bring in that type of player.
