Vincent Lecavalier to the New York Rangers trade rumors are back. Rumored package; D Matt Gilroy, D Wade Redden and either C Brandon Dubinsky or RW Ryan Callahan. I bet Lightning fans would be excited about the unacheiving, over-paid Redden.
The Calgary Flames could be interested in winger Colby Armstrong if he becomes available.
Sergei Gonchar could become trade bait if he isn’t re-signed.
Whispers that Chicago is still considering a move for a goalie. Available goalies are Halak, Biron, Giguere, and maybe Roloson. Trade names out of Chicago to get under next years cap are Versteeg, Sharp, Barker and Huet.
The Capitals are the front runners for Kovalchuk.
The Senators, Rangers, Lightning, and Stars are interested in Sykora.
LeBrun believes the Rangers could have an interest in Sheldon Souray, but would need to get rid of the contracts of either Michal Rozsival or Wade Redden. I don’t see it as an easy feet to get rid of either one of those contracts, plus Souray has a no-trade clause and his family is out in LA, so he might not even want to go there.
The Penguins are close to re-signing Kris Letang or Sergei Gonchar.
The Predators will only be re-signing one of their goalies for next year. My bet would be on Rinne.
Senators GM, Bryan Murray, is hoping to hold contract talks this week with Dman Anton Volcheckov.
Marty Turco could be on the move at the trade deadline. The Dallas Stars have talked to Montreal about Jaroslav Halak as their goalie of the future
Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: Tomas Kaberle is handcuffing the Leafs in a way, they can’t seem to get better with him, and can’t seem to trade him. Regardless if Brian Burke says he isn’t asking Tomas Kaberle to waive his no-trade clause, and Kaberle saying he doesn’t want to go anywhere, the talk of Kaberle being traded won’t end.
Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald: Cruickshank brings up the possibility of the Flames bringing back Alex Tanguay, though it most likely won’t happen.
