- Bob McKenzie via twitter: McKenzie doesn’t think that the Washington Capitals will have interest in Evgeni Nabokov as they seem committed to Varlamov and Neurirth. McKenzie thinks that Tampa Bay may have an interest in Nabokov, but they could also call up Cedrick Desjardins or trade for Dwayne Roloson if he becomes available. McKenzie adds there may not be any other teams interested in a goalie, or are in a position to sign one.
- Daren Millard via twitter: Nabokov’s agent, Don Meehan was on Hockey Central @ Noon, and told Kypreos and MacLean that they have spoken with 3 teams already, and the Lightning were one of them.
