Voici mon 2e résumé des rumeurs et infos qui ont circulé dans les médias de la LNH en ce vendredi 27 février 2015:
Joe Haggerty de CSNNE a entendu le nom de Joffrey Lupul sortir à quelques reprises dans les rumeurs concernant les Bruins, qui cherchent présentement du renfort à l'attaque.
Selon Darren Dreger de TSN, les Bruins auraient bel et bien parlé avec les Maple Leafs pour Joffrey Lupul, sauf que l'attaquant représente un trop grand risque en raison de sa santé et de son contrat.

D'après les informations obtenues par Joe Haggerty deCSNNE, les Bruins et les Blackhawks seraient les deux dernières équipes en lice pour l'obtention d'Antoine Vermette.
Pierre Lebrun d'ESPN confirme que les Bruins sont dans la course pour Antoine Vermette, mais ils n'auraient pas fermé la porte à Chris Stewart des Sabres et continuent d'explorer d'autres options.
Un journaliste de la station de radio WEEI Boston se demande si les Bruins ne devraient pas essayer d'obtenirKeith Yandle dans une transaction impliquant Antoine Vermette avec les Coyotes. Tant qu'à payer le gros prix pour un joueur de location comme Vermette, aussi bien payer le GROS prix et régler leur problèmes en défensive du même coup.
Trois différentes sources de David Pagnotta du magazineThe Fourth Period, ont affirmé que les Blackhawks avaient redoublé d'ardeur dans le derby Antoine Vermette.
En plus d'Antoine Vermette, le journaliste John Shannon de SportsNet affirme que le nom de Sam Gagner ferait partie des discussions entre les Blackhawks et les Coyotes.
Les Capitals et les Ducks seraient eux aussi très impliqués dans les discussions pour Antoine Vermette. Tandis que les Predators, les Rangers et les Canadiens suivraient le dossier de près. [TFP]
Un journaliste du NY Newsday affirme lui aussi que les Rangers sont intéressés à faire l'acquisition d'Antoine Vermette, mais qu'ils cherchent également de la profondeur en défensive.
Les Coyotes tentent de refiler Zbynek Michalek dans les négociations qui impliquent Antoine Vermette, parce qu'ils espèrent obtenir un meilleur retour en échangeant les deux joueurs dans la même transaction. [SportsNet 960]
Les Blues veulent s'améliorer, autant en attaque qu'en défensive et seraient peut-être prêts à prendre Zbynek Michalek et Antoine Vermette. [SportsNet 960]

Une source de Chris Kuc du Chicago Tribune affirme que les Capitals et les Blackhawks discuteraient d'une possible transaction impliquant Patrick Sharp.
Les Capitals seraient intéressés par les attaquants Erik Cole et Vernon Fiddler à Dallas. Des dépisteurs des Stars ont été aperçus aux récents matchs des Capitals. [CSN Washington]
Les Flames aimeraient que Curtis Glencross accepte de rallonger sa liste d'équipes de destinations possibles, afin de faciliter son transfert. L'attaquant possède une clause de non-échange, qui n’inclurait que des équipes qui aspirent aux grands honneurs, mais il aurait apparemment été convaincu que les Capitals représentent une bonne destination.
L'attaquant Curtis Glencross serait sur la liste de magasinage des Rangers, selon Elliotte Friedman deSportsNet.
Les Blues sont une autre équipe intéressée par Curtis Glencross. Le DG des Blues a assisté aux matchs des Flames mardi et mercredi soir, alors que celui des Flames a observé les deux derniers matchs des Blues. [SportsNet]
En entrevue à la station de radio 93.7 The Fan à Pittsburgh, le directeur général des Penguins a dit qu'il n'anticipait pas d'autres changements majeurs dans les prochains jours, en raison du peu d'espace disponible sur sa masse salariale. Il ne ferme toutefois pas son téléphone.
Martin Erat est un autre nom qui fait partie des discussions en Arizona. L'attaquant des Coyotes écoule la dernière année de son contrat qui compte pour 4.5M$ sur la masse salariale. [TFP]
En carrière, Martin Havlat totalise 52 points en 75 matchs de séries. Quelques équipes ont indiqué à Renaud Lavoie de TVA Sports qu'ils avaient un intérêt.
Les Hurricanes tentent toujours de trouver preneur pourAlexander Semin et son contrat de 7M$ jusqu'en 2018. D'après une source de TFP, les Canes seraient prêts à absorber jusqu'à 50% de son salaire.
Plusieurs équipes ont manifesté leur intérêt pour Chris Stewart à Buffalo. D'après Andy Strickland de CBS Sports, une équipe attendrait juste que les Sabres appuient sur la gâchette.
D'après Steve Simmons du Toronto Sun, les Maple Leafs auraient demandé Brendan Gallagher aux Canadiens dans les pourparlers impliquant Joffrey Lupul.
Une source au sein d'une équipe de la LNH a informé Elliotte Friedman, que les Maple Leafs n'étaient pas prêts à absorber une partie du salaire de Dion Phaneuf dans une transaction. Par contre, ils accepteraient de prendre un autre contrat si nécéssaire.
Friedman pense que les Red Wings seraient grandement intéressés par Dion Phaneuf, si ce n'était pas de son salaire annuel moyen de 7M$ par année. Les Maple Leafs pourraient peut-être prendre Stephen Weiss (4.9M) et Jakub Kindl (2.4M$) en retour?
Mouvement de personnel...
TRANSACTION : Un peu après 20h00, les Blackhawks ont fait l'acquisition du défenseurKimmo Timonen des Flyers, en retour d'un choix de 2e ronde 2015 et d'un choix conditionnel de 4e ronde 2016. Le nom du vétéran défenseur circulait dans les rumeurs depuis le début du mois. Et pas plus tard que ce matin, je vous rapportais que le DG des Blackhawks avait dit qu'il espérait faire une transaction, aujourd'hui même.
BALLOTAGE: Le Wild a soumis l'attaquant Stéphane Veilleux au ballotage vendredi. Ils se donnent ainsi plus de flexibilité pour aller chercher du renfort à l'approche de la date limite. [Pioneer Press]
Dépisteurs sur la route...
- Match Avalanche - Stars à Dallas: Canadiens, Blues, Penguins et Lightning. [Stars.NHL.com]
- Match Kings - Ducks à Anaheim: Canadiens, Blues, Maple Leafs, Red Wings, Hurricanes, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks, Canucks, Predators et Sabres. [LA Times]
- C'est la 3e fois consécutive que Rick Dudley, l'assistant DG des Canadiens, est à un match des Kings. [TFP]

Le renvoi de Tinordi avant Pateryn n’a pas beaucoup de sens… Si l’on croit encore en Tinordi | Toutes les rumeurs de l’heure | Prolongation | Mise au point

Grosse petite nouvelle chez le Canadien, ce matin :
Ça, ça semble vouloir dire que Gonchar est prêt à revenir au jeu (et qu’Emelin progresse).
Vous savez ce qui me surprend un peu? Tinordi est un 1er choix de l’organisation et Pateryn, un cinquième des Maple Leafs!
Gonchar, qui va revenir au jeu très bientôt (demain?), joue à droite. Pateryn et Weaver aussi…
Et on connait l’importance de bien équilibrer ses duos défensifs (droite – gauche)…
Or, on aurait pu penser que c’est Pateryn qui aurait été rétrogradé avant Tinordi…
Mais bon! Il faut dire que Tinordi n’a pas non plus PROUVÉ hors de tout doute qu’il était devenu un NHLer…
Markov – Subban
Beaulieu – Gonchar
Pateryn, Weaver et Gilbert sont tous droitiers…
Le CH semble préférer faire jouer (un droitier) Pateryn, Weaver ou Gilbert à gauche que faire confiance à Tinordi, de son bon côté!
À moins que l’on ait l’intention de ramener Gonchar à gauche (de son côté naturel) et de briser la paire Beaulieu – Gonchar, mais j’en doute VRAIMENT!
De mettre Pateryn soit en « showcase » d’ici lundi… #JCroisPasBcpÀÇa
Ou de ramener Emelin d’ici lundi (hein, Eric)… #6Semaines?
Marc Bergevin et Michel Therrien ont peut-être aussi un autre plan en tête… Comme celui d’échanger un défenseur droitier peut-être! #Gilbert? #Weaver?
Tinordi pourrait/devrait être en uniforme ce soir, à Hamilton…
Si seulement Lou Lamoriello avait accepté d’échanger Éric Gélinas en retour de Jarred Tinordi, l’été dernier…
Avec Gonchar et Parenteau qui seront retirés de la IR au cours des prochains jours, il fallait absolument envoyer un gars à Hamilton (maximum de 23 joueurs actifs à Montréal). C’est Tinordi qui a écopé… Ce qui nous fait croire que Pateryn l’a tout simplement surpassé dans le depth chart… Ou que le CH est à quelques dollars près! #PetiteDifférenceDeSalaires #LeCHFrôleLePlafond
Prolongation
– On s’entend qu’au final, le Canadien aura échangé Louis Leblanc contre rien pentoute!
– Les Bulldogs recevront la visite des Checkers de Charlotte (Hurricanes) ce soir et demain soir, à Hamilton. C’est Mike Condon qui jouera, ce soir…
– Bonne retraite, Brent!
Sopel a tenté sa chance dans la Ligue Américaine, cette saison, après 3 années passées dans la KHL. Mais ça ne lui a pas rouvert les portes de la LNH…
– Maudit que Michel Therrien nous donne de beaux quotes, des fois!
– On jase… Mais se pourrait-il que Marc Bergevin tente d’utiliser Michael McCarron comme appât pour Olivier Ekman-Larsson… Et non pour Zbynek Michalek (rumeur farfelue)? #OuKeithYandle?
– On jase encore, là… Mais vous faîtes-vous plus confiance à Bob McKenzie, Tony Marinaro et moi…
Ou à Ron Fournier et Mathias Brunet?
– Au tour de RDS d’allumer!
– Est-ce que quelqu’un s’ennuie vraiment d’Alexei Emelin dans la salle?
– Le Canadien possède aujourd’hui 3 points d’avance sur les Rangers, au sommet dans l’Est! LIEN#TrophéeDuPrésident?
– La date limite des transactions doit être vécue/digérée avec logique et recul! LIEN
Mise au point
1. 9 matchs étaient à l’horaire hier soir, dans la LNH. Pour connaître tous les résultats, cliquez ICI.
Les Sabres, les Maple Leafs et les Sénateurs ont chacun créé une surprise en remportant leur match respectif! Les Panthers ont perdu (face aux Blackhawks) ce qui ne les aidera pas dans leur course aux séries…
2. Les jeux du jour :
Quel but et quelle énergie de Craig Smith! Quel but de Torrey Mitchell, sur un superbe jeu de passe! Quelle passe de Kevin Hayes! Quel arrêt de Mike Smith! Et quelle performance encore de Andrew « Hamburglar » Hammond, qui a réussi son 2e jeu blanc consécutif! Hammond connait de bons débuts dans le show…
Mais que l’avenir lui réserve-t-il?
3. 6 matchs seront disputés ce soir, dans le circuit Bettman. LIEN
Les Bruins DOIVENT gagner face aux pauvres Devils! Et… L’Avalanche et les Stars se battent pour « rester en vie ». #CourseAuxSéries
Imaginez si les Bruins se classent pour les séries avec la dernière place disponible et que le CH termine au sommet dans l’Est… #1ereRondeDeFeu
4. On connaît désormais la totalité des combats qui auront lieu le 14 mars, à Montréal (Kovalev vs Pascal). Il y a encore beaucoup de bons billets (chers) disponibles, si ça vos tente…
5. Est-ce que Bryan Murray va bien? Il aurait discuté avec Dave Nonis au sujet de David Clarkson (avant de voir ce dernier quitter vers Columbus). LIEN
Au moins, son offre (si offre il y a eu) était moins intéressante que Nathan Horton… Ce qui signifie qu’elle étaitVRAIMENT mauvaise!
6. Jakub Voracek a complètement perdu la carte, hier soir! VIDÉO
7. Jaromir Jagr en est à sa 8e équipe dans la LNH! LIEN
C’est autant que Marc Bergevin, si ma mémoire est bonne…
8. Pendant 1 seconde, j’ai cru qu’il était question de Chris Pronger!
Ça n’enlève rien à la détermination de Kimmo Timonen…
9. Rocky serait fier de Jean Pascal! LIEN #RockyBalboaNoir
Et… Jean Pascal aime bien travailler avec plusieurs entraîneurs, pour avoir le plus d’info possible!
10. Un record (de buts dans la LNH) pour Niederreiter!
11. Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers (KHL) a vécu le sentiment que vivent généralement les attaquants, et non les gardiens : Se faire voler un but! VIDÉO
12. Seattle évalue maintenant la possibilité de construire un amphithéâtre pour le hockey (de la LNH), même sans équipe de basketball (de la NBA). LIEN
Il s’agit là d’une nouvelle donnée très importante qui oui, fait mal à la Ville de Québec. « La LNH a indiqué son intention de déménager ici dès qu’il y aura un nouvel aréna ». #DéménagerOuExpansion?
13. Un ancen de la LHJMQ a marqué le but de l’année, au Royaume-Uni! VIDÉO
Un spin-o-rama à genoux… Faut le faire quand même! On repassera pour la qualité de « filmage » cela dit…
14. Dustin Byfuglien a poursuivi son travail de démolition, hier. Sa nouvelle victime : Patrik Berglund!
15. Sidney Crosby est aussi capable de faire des belles passes… De bâton! VIDÉO
16. Lars Eller Tyler Bozak pourrait aboutir dans l’Ouest canadien. LIEN
Ou à New York! LIEN #Rangers
17. Ça sent le statu quo d’ici lundi après-midi, chez les Blues! LIEN
Disons qu’ils ont encore en mémoire leurs ajouts de l’an dernier! #Miller #Ott
18. Alexander Burmistrov aimerait bien revenir dans la LNH l’an prochain… Mais ses droits appartiennent toujours aux Jets! LIEN
19. Les Capitals, à l’instar du Canadien, se recherchent un attaquant top9. LIEN
20. Et si Fleischmann allait rejoindre son ancien entraîneur à Montréal Anaheim? LIEN
Ça ferait pas mal d’attaquants sincèrement, à Anaheim…
21. Jeff Skinner et Mike Cammalleri intéressent les Blackhawks! LIEN
22. Ben Lovejoy, un défenseur droitier de 31 ans des Ducks, pourrait-il être disponible? LIEN
Si oui… Marc Bergevin pourrait-il être tenté de compléter une autre transaction avec les Ducks? Pense pas… #PasTop4

vendredi, 27 février 2015 à 09h40
Voici mon 1er résumé des rumeurs et infos LNH du vendredi 27 février 2015:
Une source de Mark Lazerus du Chicago Sun-Timesaffirme que les Blackhawks seraient très intéressés parCam Atkinson des Blue Jackets et Antoine Vermette des Coyotes. Le prix de base pour obtenir un de ces deux attaquants serait un choix de 1re ronde.
En plus des joueurs mentionnés dans le paragraphe précédent, les Blackhawks auraient Curtis Glencross des Flames dans leur mire. [TSN]
Les Blackhawks examinent les différentes options pour du renfort à l'attaque et regarderaient maintenant pour des joueurs comme Jeff Skinner des Hurricanes et Michael Cammalleri des Devils. [Chicago Tribune]
Jeudi soir, le directeur général des Blackhawks a affirmé qu'il était très actif, qu'il avait multiplié les appels au cours des dernières heures et qu'il "était très près" d'effectuer une transaction. Il sait que la date limite est lundi, mais ça ne veut pas dire qu'il va attendre lundi avant de bouger. [Chicago Tribune]
Ce matin, l'analyste Pierre Lebrun d'ESPN a affirmé que les Blackhawks travaillaient très fort pour conclure une transaction, aujourd'hui même.
Des équipes comme les Penguins et les Predators se seraient informés à propos de Morgan Rielly auprès des Maple Leafs, mais la réponse fût négative, le jeune défenseur qui aura bientôt 21 ans n'ira nul part. Même chose pour James Van Riemsdyk. [Toronto Sun]
Si on se fie aux propos de Mark Hunter, directeur du personnel des joueurs des Maple Leafs, l'attaquantNazem Kadri ne sera pas échangé lui non plus, parce qu'il fait partie de la reconstruction. [Toronto Sun]
Ce n'est pas sur et certain que les Maple Leafs vont échanger Tyler Bozak d'ici lundi, mais Darren Dreger à l'impression que son nom circule de plus en plus depuis quelques jours. Si jamais il change d'adresse, ce sera dans une "vraie transaction" de hockey, et non pas une liquidation. [TSN Radio]
Les Rangers pourraient être tentés de faire l'acquisition de Tyler Bozak, afin d'être leur 2e ou 3e joueur de centre. [TSN Radio]
Quelques formations auraient un oeil sur le défenseurKorbinian Holzer des Maple Leafs, dont le contrat se termine à la fin de la saison. [TSN Radio]
Les Panthers se sont déclarés "acheteurs" après l'acquisition de Jaromir Jagr, mais ils pourraient quand même échanger Tomas Fleischmann d'ici lundi, plutôt que de le perdre pour rien le 1er juillet. Il serait une bonne acquisition pour les Ducks, puisque Bruce Boudreau était son entraîneur lorsque les deux hommes étaient à Washington. [ESPN]
Selon Pierre Lebrun, les Red Wings sont intéressés par les défenseurs droitiers Jeff Petry (Oilers) et Zbynek Michalek (Coyotes), mais ils ne seraient toujours pas prêts à payer le gros prix. Ils devraient demeurer patients en espérant que les prix baissent un peu avant de bouger. [ESPN]
Darren Dreger de TSN croit que les Maple Leafs voudraient attendre la saison morte avant d'échangerPhil Kessel ou Dion Phaneuf, mais l'analyste soutient qu'une équipe comme les Red Wings pourrait revenir à la charge en tentant d'acquérir le défenseur avant l'heure limite. Un scénario peu probable, mais pas impossible.
Jim Matheson du Edmonton Journal a entendu dire queZachary Fucale pourrait faire partie des discussions avec les Canadiens pendant la saison estivale, parce qu'il ne sera jamais rien de plus que le gardien substitut derrière Carey Price à Montréal. Le journaliste s'attend à ce que les Oilers soient intéressés, parce qu'ils l'avaient sur leur liste au repêchage en 2013, mais les Canadiens l'ont sélectionné un rang avant qu'Edmonton puisse se prononcer.
Certains dépisteurs croient que les Ducks pourraient se permettre d'échanger le défenseur Cam Fowler, parce qu'il n'est pas aussi complet que Hampus Lindholm ou qu'il n'a pas l'instinct offensif de Sami Vatanen. Les Ducks pourraient se servir de Fowler pour aller chercher un ailier qui jouerait avec Getzlaf et Perry. [Edmonton Journal]
Dépisteurs sur la route...
Les Canadiens, les Coyotes, les Hurricanes, les Red Wings et les Jets avaient délégué des représentants pour observer le match Sénateurs - Kings à Los Angeles. [TFP]
Rick Dudley, l'assistant directeur général des Canadiens, observait un 2e match consécutif des Kings à Los Angeles, jeudi soir. [TFP]
Jeudi soir, il y avait 13 dépisteurs sur la galerie de presse du match Flyers - Maple Leafs à Toronto. La liste n'a pas été dévoilée, mais Martin Brodeur et un autre représentant des Blues étaient sur place. [TFP]
Pour le match Blues - Jets à Winnipeg, les Canadiens, les Maple Leafs, les Blue Jackets, les Flames et le Wild avaient des recruteurs présents, jeudi soir. [NHL.com]
Jeudi soir, un recruteur du Lightning assistait à un 3e matchs consécutif des Sharks. [CSN Bay Area]
La suite des rumeurs du jour?
Il faut que j'aille travailler aujourd'hui, alors la suite des rumeurs du jour devrait venir un peu plus tard...
En attendant, si vous avez manqué un article publié sur RDT cette semaine, je vous invite à les consulter pour avoir une bonne idée du marché qui se développe à moins de 3 jours de la date limite.
Player Power Rankings: Panthers need boost for Nick Bjugstad
February, 27, 2015
FEB 27
12:07
PM ET
By Katie Strang | ESPN.com
FORWARDS
Trending Up: Teuvo Teravainen, Chicago Blackhawks -- Considering the injury toPatrick Kane, who is expected to miss 12 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken clavicle, Teravainen’s progression has never been more important for a Blackhawks team missing its biggest star. In the wake of Kane’s injury, Teravainen was recalled by the Hawks in advance of their game against the Panthers Thursday night, and the 20-year-old Finnish center wasted no time getting himself on the score sheet. Teravainen scored 3:08 into play to help lead Chicago to a 3-0 win over Florida.
Trending Down: Nick Bjugstad, Florida Panthers -- Though the Panthers added veteran scorer Jaromir Jagr in a trade Thursday to help propel the club’s push for the playoffs, the Cats will need the help of their talented youngsters as well. That means Bjugstad has to work his way out of his current rut if Florida is going to catch Boston in the race for that last wild card spot in the East. Bjugstad has been held off the score sheet in his past five games and is minus-7 over that span.

Surprise of the Week: David Clarkson/Nathan Horton, Columbus Blue Jackets/Toronto Maple Leafs -- Don’t feel bad if you did not expect the stunning swap between the Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets. No one did. But in a creative deal that has garnered Leafs general manager Dave Nonis tons of credit, Clarkson and his albatross of a contract were shipped to Columbus in exchange for injured winger Horton. Initially, the deal was a head-scratcher, considering the assumption that Horton’s degenerative back injury could prevent him from ever playing again. But the Leafs gained some much-needed cap space by utilizing their ability to place him on long term injured reserve and pay him to not play, while the Blue Jackets gained an actual roster player that can contribute for the money they were already spending because Horton's contract was not insured. Very interesting.
DEFENSEMEN
Trending up: Andrej Sekera, Los Angeles Kings -- Things are looking up for Sekera, who upgraded from a floundering Carolina Hurricanes squad to a potential Cup contender in the Kings via trade this week. Sekera was a coveted trade target as teams honed in on defensive help, but it was ultimately GM Dean Lombardi who snatched up the defenseman in hopes of bolstering the Kings’ blue line. Lombardi told reporters it was a reward for the team’s fine play recently. Had to feel like a reward for the 28-year-old Sekera, too.
Trending down: James Wisniewski, Columbus Blue Jackets -- First, he was scratched. Then he was placed on the trading block. And the most recent development in the ongoing saga between the veteran defenseman and the Blue Jackets is that he is reportedly using his limited no-trade clause as a way to obstruct a potential move. According to The Columbus Dispatch’s Aaron Portzline, Wisniewski’s recently submitted list of the ten teams to which he would approve a trade makes it “difficult” for GM Jarmo Kekalainen to find a suitable partner. According to the report, Wisniewski’s list was all teams with limited cap space (Wisniewski carries a $5.5 million cap hit) and no need for an offensive defenseman.
Surprise of the week: Adam Larsson, New Jersey Devils -- Larsson’s tenure in New Jersey has been puzzling to say the least, but the 22-year-old seems to be finally finding his way as of late. Larsson, the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft, has five points in his past four games, including a three-point effort in the team’s 4-2 win against theVancouver Canucks last Friday.
GOALTENDERS
Trending up: Andrew Hammond, Ottawa Senators -- The rookie netminder posted back-to-back shutouts this week, blanking both the Anaheim Ducks and Kings on consecutive nights. The 27-year-old Hammond, thrust into action by Ottawa as a result of injuries to both Craig Anderson and Robin Lehner, has won all four of his starts this season and has turned away 60 of 60 shots in his past two games.
Trending down: Eddie Lack, Vancouver Canucks -- With Ryan Miller out the next four-to-six weeks with a sprained knee, the pressure falls squarely on Lack’s shoulders as the playoff race heats up out West. And while Lack bested the Boston Bruins in his first start following Miller’s injury, he faltered in the Canucks’ 6-3 loss to the lowly Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, giving up five goals on 23 shots to the worst team in the league, despite the fact that Buffalo was also without its top two scorers in Zemgus Girgensonsand Tyler Ennis. Yikes.
Surprise of the week: Jonathan Bernier, Toronto Maple Leafs -- Following a brutal stretch in which he was winless in 10 games, Bernier has since rattled off two straight victories for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Most recently, he delivered a spectacular 47-save performance as the Leafs edged the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Thursday night. CaptainDion Phaneuf told reporters that Bernier stole the game for Toronto, and Phaneuf was right. That hasn’t happened too often recently for Bernier.
Countdown to the deadline: Jackets
Columbus stunned league with Clarkson deal, but GM still listening to offers

The Columbus Blue Jackets dropped the trade deadline's biggest bomb on Thursday in sending Nathan Horton to the Toronto Maple Leafs for David Clarkson. It will be a tough act to follow, but general manager Jarmo Kekalainen is in a good spot. He doesn't need to make any more deals but, if a GM phones him with a strong enough offer for one of his players, he'll most definitely listen.

Available: The Blue Jackets aren't a team to call if you're looking for a rental. Mark Letestu is one of the few pending unrestricted free agents on the roster, and Columbus would move him for the right price. But they also like him and aren't going to trade him just to trade him. It's the players with term who are most intriguing on the Blue Jackets for general managers looking to do a traditional hockey trade. An NHL source confirmed that the Blue Jackets have requested and received James Wisniewski's no-trade list. Colleague Pierre LeBrun first reported interest in Cam Atkinson, and the Blue Jackets are also getting calls on Artem Anisimov. As we saw with the Horton trade, Kekalainen is willing to be creative but he's also not looking to move these players just for futures. "If we were to part with big parts of our team, if we were trading some of the people you mentioned for draft picks or prospects, it would be like going through a rebuild," Kekalainen told ESPN.com. "We're not trying to do that." Instead, the Blue Jackets ideal return would be young players who may not help a contending team at this moment but would push for time in Columbus next season. It complicates things but as the Horton deal showed, where there's a will, there's a way.
Finances: The Blue Jackets have $5.4 million in salary cap space, which means they could theoretically acquire $25 million in actual salary on Monday. That's not happening but there's flexibility in case Columbus needs it.
Scouting the GM: Kekalainen's two year anniversary as general manager of the Blue Jackets was this month and he's already established himself as a fearless manager. In that span, he traded for Marian Gaborik and later dealt him to the Kings. He made the fantastic Scott Hartnell trade with the Philadelphia Flyers when it looked like R.J. Umberger was unmovable. And he orchestrated the Horton for Clarkson swap, getting a player who can help the team instead of paying an injured player. The Blue Jackets kicked around the idea of a similar deal for Mike Richards, although it never got past the conceptual phase. That's the kind of creative thinking that makes Kekalainen a general manager to watch as the deadline closes in.

Rumor Roundup: Blackhawks seek Kane replacement, Sharks have tough decision with Niemi
By: Lyle Richardson on February 27, 2015
Filed under: Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, NHL,Rumor Roundup, San Jose Sharks
Patrick Kane's upper-body injury has landed him on the LTIR. (Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Chicago’s Patrick Kane is out with a broken clavicle, which has spurred on speculation the Blackhawks will be dogged in pursuing someone to replace some of the winger’s production.
To be fair, there’s no one in this year’s trade market capable of adequately replacing Kane. At best, the Blackhawks land a decent scoring winger to fill the void until Kane’s return sometime in mid-May, provided the ‘Hawks get that far into the post-season.
Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports the club called up recalled Teuvo Teravainen from their farm club and placed Kane on long-term injured reserve. That provides the Blackhawks with around $6 million in cap relief to add a winger and perhaps a depth defenseman, though Lazerus notes the trade market is quickly drying up. Bowman said he’s getting pretty close to making his move.
Lazerus claims the Blackhawks are “believed to be heavily interested” in Arizona Coyotes forwardAntoine Vermette. Buffalo’s Chris Stewart is another possibility. USA Today’s Kevin Allen also includes Vermette and Stewart on his list of Blackhawks trade targets, along with Calgary’s Curtis Glencross, New Jersey’s Michael Ryder and Florida’s Tomas Fleischmann.
Vermette and Glencross appear the best options. Vermette is a skilled two-way forward who can play center or wing and has a decent scoring touch. The oft-injured Glencross plays a physical style and is on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the fourth time in his career.
WISNIEWSKI MAKES TRADE DIFFICULT FOR BLUE JACKETS
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman James Wisniewski is considered a trade candidate after it was revealed management recently requested a 10-team no-trade list from the 31-year-old rearguard. Wisniewski’s puck-moving skills, experience and right-handed shot could make him a much-prized commodity leading up to the trade deadline.
Sportsnet’s Damien Cox said the Montreal Canadiens were linked to Wisniewski, who played a half-season for the Habs in 2010-11. The Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings could also use a right-handed top-four defender.
Wisniewski, however, doesn’t seem keen to shed the Jackets. The Columbus Dispatch’s Aaron Portzline took to Twitter claiming the blueliner’s no-trade list was constructed in a way to make it harder to move him. Portzline writes the teams he will accept being dealt to have no cap room to absorb his $5.5 million annual cap hit and no requirement for offensive defensemen. Those with lots of cap space or real need for a blueliner were on the list.
It’s possible this strategy could backfire on Wisniewski. Still, one has to admire how he and his agent used his no-trade list to make it more difficult for the Jackets to move him at the deadline.
TRADING NIEMI BIG DECISION FOR SHARKS
The San Jose Sharks find themselves in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2002-03. Following Thursday’s 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, the Sharks have only three wins in their last 10 games. With 68 points in 62 games, they are three points out of the final wild-card berth in the Western Conference.
CSN Bay Area’s Kevin Kurz speculates Sharks GM Doug Wilson could ship out his pending unrestricted free agents by the trade deadline. Those include goaltender Antti Niemi, defensemanScott Hannan and forwards Tyler Kennedy, James Sheppard and Andrew Desjardins.
Niemi’s name has frequently popped up earlier this season in the rumor mill, but his chances of being dealt seemed remote. The Sharks were jockeying for playoff position and backup Alex Stalock clearly wasn’t ready to take over the starter’s job. As long as the Sharks stayed in contention it seemed Niemi would stay put.
Given the Sharks recent decline, however, Wilson could begin his much-anticipated roster rebuild at the trade deadline rather than waiting for the off-season. Niemi could be his best trade chip, though at best he’ll likely fetch a second-round pick and a prospect. There aren’t many playoff contenders seeking goaltending depth, while teams which need it are non-contenders unlikely to give up assets for a goalie they can sign via free agency in July.

Rumor Roundup: Vermette, Glencross and Petry deals close
By: Lyle Richardson on February 26, 2015

Arizona Coyotes center Antoine Vermette still tops the list of best available player on the trade market. Prized for his two-way skills and ability to play center or wing, interest remains high in the 32-year-old forward.
The Ottawa Sun’s Bruce Garrioch links Vermette to the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers and Boston Bruins, suggesting the Pittsburgh Penguins could also get into the bidding.
ESPN.com’s Pierre LeBrun reports the New York Rangers are keeping an eye on Vermette. After the Chicago Blackhawks lost superstar winger Patrick Kane to a broken left clavicle, LeBrun claims the Blackhawks are looking at Vermette. A knee injury has sidelined Bruins center David Krejci four-to-six weeks, prompting LeBrun’s colleague Joe McDonald to cite Vermette as a short-term replacement.
CSNNE.com’s Joe Haggerty concurs, though he expects the asking price will be a first-round pick and a top prospect. If so, Haggerty suggests the Bruins could try widening the scope of the trade in hopes of adding a Coyotes defenseman like Zbynek Michalek or Keith Yandle as part of the return. Such a move, however, could force the cash-strapped Bruins to shed salary.
NBC Sports’ Dhiren Mahiban recently cited a radio interview by Coyotes GM Don Maloney saying he wasn’t impressed with the offers he’s received for tradeable assets like Vermette. “We’d just like a little bit more than is being offered right now,” said Maloney.
Don’t be surprised if Maloney waits until deadline day to move Vermette in hopes of boosting his traede value.
GLENCROSS DEAL HEATING UP FOR FLAMES
The trade rumors are heating up for Calgary Flames left wing Curtis Glencross. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports the St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers are believed watching the 32-year-old Glencross closely. The Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning are reportedly on his list of preferred trade destinations.
Friedman claims the Washington Capitals aren’t on Glencross’ list but he thinks he could be a good fit with them. Sportsnet 590 The Fan’s Andrew Walker claims the Capitals are in fact closing in on a deal for Glencross, who is willing to waive his no-trade clause to join them.
With the Blackhawks having lost winger Kane to injury, they could also get into the hunt for Glencross. The Ducks and Lightning are reportedly seeking defensive depth so they’re unlikely to make a pitch for the Flames winger. The Kings’ recent acquisition of defenseman Andrej Sekeraprobably takes them out of the trade market. The Predators could use a top-six winger but it’s not a pressing need.
A possible stumbling block could be the return sought by the Flames. It was initially believed they would prefer draft picks or prospects, but Friedman believes they could seek a player to help them reach the playoffs this season.
SEKERA TRADE SETS TABLE FOR PETRY DEAL
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jeff Petry remains a notable trade candidate leading up to the trade deadline. Oilers management attempted to re-sign the 27-year-old but he intends to test the free-agent market. He’s expected to be moved before the deadline.
Petry is a right-handed defenseman, a most-prized commodity in this year’s trade market. With Sekera being dealt to the Kings and Arizona Coyotes’ rearguard Michalek sidelined by concussion symptoms, there could be increased interest in Petry. The Anaheim Ducks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning could pursue him.
The Edmonton Journal’s Bruce McCurdy wonders if the Blackhawks could be a logical destination. They’re reportedly seeking an affordable playoff rental blueliner. Newsday’s Steve Zipay believesPetry will be too expensive for the Rangers.

22e Mise à jour – Mercredi 25 Février 2015/2 – 15h00
THN Trade Deadline preview: Metropolitan Division
By: Jared Clinton on February 25, 2015
Filed under: Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Lists, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, NHL,Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Trades, Washington Capitals
(Andy Marlin/Getty Images)
With the Eastern Conference about as wide open as it gets in the parity-laden NHL, the trade deadline could be huge in the Metropolitan Division. Who knows if, come deadline day, a GM from one of the three main contenders swings a deal that changes their team’s fate.
The New York Islanders made their biggest splash in the off-season, trading for blueliners Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy, the latter of whom was signed to a seven-year extension on Tuesday. The New York Rangers are right at the top of the standings thanks to a red hot Rich Nash. And the Pittsburgh Penguins… well, the Penguins have two guys by the name of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin who can be game breakers at any time. But don’t count out the Capitals.
Even the lowly Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue Jackets are making some noise heading into the deadline, which could make the Metropolitan extremely active come deadline day.
New York Islanders
The Islanders definitely looked primed to make the playoffs this season, leading the Metropolitan Division, ahead of the Rangers and Penguins? That’s exactly where the Islanders find themselves heading into the deadline and it has caught everyone by surprise.
Because of the injury to Kyle Okposo – a detached retina – expect the Islanders to go looking for a top-six forward, if anything. And Boychuk may be headed for unrestricted free agency, but don’t expect the Islanders to ship him off. Both sides are likely going to work until the final moment on a new deal.
Prominent UFAs: Lubomir Visnovsky ($4.75 million), Boychuk ($3.367 million)
Key RFAs: Brock Nelson, Anders Lee, Matt Donovan, Thomas Hickey
Likely to move: The Islanders are ready to compete now, so expect prospects and picks to go the other way in any deal the Isles make.
Needs: Top-six forward
Possibilities: Tomas Fleischmann (FLA), Jaromir Jagr (NJD), Michael Ryder (NJD), Curtis Glencross(CGY)
Hot rumor: Daniel Winnik has been brought up by ESPN’s Katie Strang as someone the Isles may pursue as a depth addition.
Salary Cap room: $5.6 million
New York Rangers
A Stanley Cup finalist last season, the Rangers have themselves back in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race and could have home ice advantage in the first round. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is going to need to get healthy before the Rangers make their playoff push, but once he’s back in the lineup New York will be set.
Add to Lundqvist a Rick Nash that is absolutely terrorizing goaltenders and the Rangers are going to be back competing for the Cup this season. If anything, the Rangers will shop for a depth defenseman.
Prominent UFAs: Martin St. Louis ($5.625 million), Mats Zuccarello ($3.5 million), Lee Stempniak($900k)
Key RFAs: Derek Stepan, Carl Hagelin, J.T. Miller, John Moore
Likely to move: As Matt Larkin pointed out in the Trade Deadline issue, with so many RFAs and a loaded D corps, Moore is ripe to move.
Needs: Depth defenseman
Possibilities: Andrej Sekera (CAR), Zybnek Michalek (ARI), Jan Hejda (COL)
Hot rumor: The Rangers are pretty interested in Calgary’s Curtis Glencross and, with he and the Flames on the way to separating, there could be a fit there.
Salary Cap room: $1.25 million
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins fatal flaw is depth and if they’re looking for anything at the deadline, it’s improving their depth. Of course they’ve got Crosby and Malkin, and the acquisition of David Perron will help, but adding one more piece up front and another on the blueline could put the Penguins over the top.
Marc-Andre Fleury is playing some of the best hockey of his career and leads the league in shutouts, and is top 10 in goals-against average, save percentage and wins. However, Olli Maatta is out for the year, so replacing him will be key to the Penguins’ success.
Prominent UFAs: Steve Downie ($1 million), Blake Comeau ($700k), Maxim Lapierre ($1.2 million),Paul Martin ($5 million), Christian Ehrhoff ($4 million)
Key RFAs: Beau Bennett, Robert Bortuzzo
Likely to move: Exchanging bottom-six players, borderline NHL prospects and picks could be the play for GM Jim Rutherford
Needs: Depth defense
Possibilities: Jeff Petry (EDM), Jaromir Jagr (NJD), Chris Stewart (BUF)
Hot rumor: Former Pittsburgh Penguin and current Carolina Hurricane Jordan Staal has been discussed as a possible target for the Penguins, but it’s unlikely to happen.
Salary Cap room: $791k
Washington Capitals
With Barry Trotz behind the bench, the Capitals have shored up their defensive play, Braden Holtbyis having the best season of his career and the duo of Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom is as good as it gets for present-day scoring tandems.
The story of the Ovechkin-led Capitals has been teams with all the potential to make a deep run but that have failed to get out of the second round and into the Eastern Conference final. If this team can shore up their offense and compliment their dynamic duo with another scoring forward, they could be in business.
Prominent UFAs: Joel Ward ($3 million), Eric Fehr ($1.5 million), Jay Beagle ($900k), Mike Green($6.1 million), John Erskine ($1.96 million)
Key RFAs: Evgeny Kuznetsov, Marcus Johansson, Braden Holtby
Likely to move: Mike Green, prospects and draft picks are the three things the Capitals could potentially move for their big haul at the deadline. Green is only going to move if it comes at the right price, however.
Needs: Top-six forward
Possibilities: Tomas Fleischmann (FLA), Chris Stewart (BUF), Curtis Glencross (CGY), Michael Ryder (NJD), Jiri Tlusty (CAR), Jaromir Jagr (NJD)
Hot rumor: NHL.com’s Dan Rosen could see the Capitals pursuing Edmonton Oilers winger Jordan Eberle.
Salary Cap room: $2.075 million
Philadelphia Flyers
Philadelphia is charging hard. They’re 4-2-4 over their last 10 games, have been getting solid goaltending since the all-star break and they’re only four points out of a playoff spot. By the end of the week, it stands to reason that the Flyers could be right on top of the Bruins in the Eastern Conference wild-card race.
GM Ron Hextall has said he won’t go out of his way at the deadline to buy and that he is against mortgaging the team’s future for a short run in the postseason, but that doesn’t mean the Flyers will stand pat. If they fall further out of the race, the Flyers could even become sellers.
Prominent UFAs: Chris VandeVelde ($575k), Pierre-Edouard Bellemare ($600k), Kimmo Timonen($3.5 million), Ray Emery ($1 million)
Key RFAs: Michael Del Zotto
Likely to move: If the Flyers slide out of the playoff race, look for Timonen to be dealt to a contender. He may be 39 and coming off blood clots that have sidelined him for most of the year, but he can still be effective. Braydon Coburn and Nicklas Grossmann could draw interest if Philadelphia sells.
Needs: Prospects, especially on the blueline, and picks.
Possibilities: Jeff Petry (EDM), Andrej Sekera (CAR), Keith Yandle (ARI)
Hot rumor: The Flyers re-signing of Nick Schultz makes Coburn and Grossmann ever more expendable, writes Sam Carchidi.
Salary Cap room: $2.18 million
New Jersey Devils
The Devils are loaded with veteran forwards that would be able to help teams looking to buy a top-six forward, and that’s exactly the kind of player you will see New Jersey ship out at the deadline.
New Jersey has been far from good this season and they need to get Cory Schneider some help on defense and add some young, NHL ready prospects that can help them. However, they probably don’t have the assets to make that a reality shy of moving one of their young defensemen.
Prominent UFAs: Jaromir Jagr ($5.5 million), Michael Ryder ($3.5 million), Martin Havlat ($1.5 million), Jordin Tootoo ($550k), Steve Bernier ($516k), Scott Gomez ($390k), Marek Zidlicky ($4 million), Bryce Salvador ($3.17 million), Peter Harrold ($615k)
Key RFAs: Adam Larsson, Eric Gelinas
Likely to move: Jagr has involved in rumors for weeks, Ryder could help a top-six, Havlat is cheap and could have some upside, Gomez has been scoring and the old, immobile defensemen Zidlicky and Salvador could be worth some late-round picks if dealt.
Needs: Prospects and picks will be really valuable for New Jersey going forward.
Possibilities: New Jersey sends all their UFAs packing and gets some high- to mid-round draft picks.
Hot rumor: GM Lou Lamoriello doesn’t want a full rebuild, so don’t expect Larsson to be going anywhere or for their to be a run on young Devils traded.
Salary Cap room: $2.88 million
Columbus Blue Jackets
Columbus’ season was derailed by injuries, so expect the Blue Jackets to use the injury-riddled off-year to stock up whatever prospects or players they feel they need for future seasons now. The high draft selection will help the team and add to a young core and that’s about all Columbus really needs to do.
Rumors have surfaced that James Wisniewski is available and any trade involving the blueliner could net Columbus a second- or third-round draft pick, which would be a good get for the Blue Jackets. If they add a prospect to it, they might be able to get a prospect and a late draft pick.
Prominent UFAs: Mark Letestu ($1.25 million), Jack Skille ($750k), Jordan Leopold ($1.392 million)
Key RFAs: Cam Atkinson, Matt Calvert, Cody Goloubef
Likely to move: Wisniewski ($5.5 million) is most likely, but don’t sleep on the Blue Jackets also trading RFAs Atkinson and Calvert. Shipping out young, NHL ready players could land Columbus solid pieces for the future.
Needs: Draft picks will be what the Blue Jackets are after.
Possibilities: Wisniewski, Atkinson and Calvert gone with at least a couple of second- or third-round picks added to their coffers.
Hot rumor: No trade of Wisniewski has happened yet, but that Jarmo Kekalainen has had to address it to the media likely means he’s working hard on it.
Salary Cap room: $5.42 million
Carolina Hurricanes
No team in the division has more ready to move pieces that could bring back more than Carolina.
GM Ron Francis has his chance to put his stamp on the direction of the Hurricanes for years to come, and a solid trade deadline is the first step. There’s going to be players leaving Carolina on March 2 and if Francis is able to make some savvy moves, he could expedite the Hurricanes’ rebuild.
Prominent UFAs: Jiri Tlusty ($2.95 million), Jay McClement ($1 million), Patrick Dwyer ($900k), Andrej Sekera ($2.75 million), Tim Gleason ($1.2 million)
Key RFAs: Michal Jordan, Chris Terry, Riley Nash, Andrej Nestrasil
Likely to move: If you were to break the players into three tiers – with tier one being the most likely to move – Sekera and Tlusty would be tier one, McClement would be tier two and Gleason would be tier three.
Needs: Like many struggling clubs, the Hurricanes simply need prospects and picks.
Possibilities: Sekera has many suitors and is going to be one of the biggest prizes on deadline day at this point.
Hot rumor: The biggest rumor saw Jordan Staal potentially getting dealt back to the Penguins, but that was squashed. Now it’s a matter of shipping players to the highest bidder.
Salary Cap room: $3.82 million

Rumor Roundup: Next moves for Maple Leafs, Glencross trade on the horizon
By: Lyle Richardson on February 25, 2015
Filed under: Boston Bruins, Calgary Flames, NHL, Rumor Roundup,Toronto Maple Leafs
Joffrey Lupul (Getty Images)
As the NHL trade deadline draws nearer, expectation is growing over possible moves by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Their mid-February trading of Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli to the Nashville Predators is considered the first of several significant moves as the Leafs begin a long-overdue rebuild.
The Toronto Sun’s Rob Longley reports “many players”, led by winger Daniel Winnik, center Tyler Bozak, defenseman Roman Polak and perhaps goaltender Jonathan Bernier, could be playing elsewhere soon.
It’s widely assumed the 29-year-old Winnik is the next to go. TSN’s Darren Dreger believes there’s a 100-percent chance he’ll will be gone by the deadline, claiming the Leafs seek a second-round pick and either a third rounder or a prospect. The Winnipeg Jets are reportedly interested and there’s talk their unsigned free agent Alex Burmistrov (currently playing in the KHL) is being floated as a trade chip.
Dreger also thinks there’s a good chance Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul could be traded at the deadline or during the off-season. If the oft-injured Lupul can stay healthy, Dreger claims several clubs could try to acquire him on deadline day.
Sportsnet590′s Andrew Walker reports sources saying the Leafs are shopping the 31-year-old Lupul. Based on the Montreal Canadiens’ previous interest, Walker speculates they could be a suitor. However, the Canadiens recent acquisition of Devante Smith-Pelly suggests they’ll be looking at other options. TSN’s Pierre LeBrun doesn’t believe Lupul is a fit with the Habs.
It’s not just Lupul’s injury history that could scare off interest, but also his contract. With three years remaining at $5.25-million per season, he’s an expensive gamble for clubs seeking a top-six winger.
KREJCI INJURY UPS BRUINS NEED FOR TOP-SIX HELP
The Boston Bruins’ playoff hopes suffered a significant blow when top-line center David Krejci was sidelined four-to-six weeks to a knee injury. This puts more pressure upon Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli to swing a deal or two to save their season.
ESPN Boston’s Joe McDonald notes Krejci’s cap hit is $5.25 million, suggesting Chiarelli could get some cap relief for possible short-term acquisitions by placing the 28-year-old center on LTIR. He speculates the Bruins could pursue Arizona Coyotes center Antoine Vermette.
If call-up center Ryan Spooner helps cover off Krejci’s absence, McDonald also suggests Chiarelli could continue shopping for a right wing. He thinks Winnipeg Jets winger Michael Frolik might be available. That’s unlikely, as the Jets are also struggling to secure a playoff spot and lack depth up front. A more likely option is Buffalo Sabres right wing Chris Stewart, who’s been lined to the Bruins in the rumor mill for some time.
FLAMES’ GLENCROSS SUBMITS HIS LIST
Speculation persists Calgary Flames left wing Curtis Glencross could be on the move by deadline day. The 32-year-old is eligible for unrestricted free agency in July. Having accepted a hometown discount on his current contract, Glencross reportedly seeks a more expensive deal which is too rich for Flames management to absorb.
Glencross possesses a full no-trade clause and was recently asked to submit a list of preferred destination to management. The Calgary Sun’s Wes Gilbertson cites Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s claim the Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning are on that list.
It’s rumored the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins have interest in Glencross, but no word if they’re also on that list. Given the limited depth in available talent heading into this year’s trade deadline, the Flames might land a second-round pick and a prospect as a return.

Quick hits to start today...
On Tyler Kennedy....
I am hearing the Penguins and Bruins have talked to San Jose. Kennedy is an energy guy who can play up and down the line-up.
On Glencross...
It sounds like the Capitals may be leading this right now...I have heard Montreal too, but not as much since the Sekac trade...Pittsburgh is also eying him.
On Bozak...
Keep an eye on Chicago I was told. It will be very interesting to see what happens with Patrick Kane going on IR. Money opens up.
On Briere...
On player there is under-the-radar interest in because of his playoff history is Danny Briere.. I have heard Anaheim and possibly the Islanders.
On Jagr...
It really is looking like Jagr will be on the move again. The latest rumors I heard were St. Louis and Nashville. Both make sense...
NHL Rumor Mill – February 24, 2015
by Lyle Richardson | Feb 24, 2015 | Rumors | 165 comments
Latest on Joffrey Lupul, Jordan Staal, James Wisniewski, Jeff Petry and many more.
TSN updated trade bait list.
TSN: updated their list of top-ten NHL trade bait heading toward the March 2 trade deadline. Arizona’s Antoine Vermette tops the list, followed by Carolina’s Andrej Sekera, Edmonton’s Jeff Petry, Toronto’s Daniel Winnik, Arizona’s Zbynek Michalek, Buffalo’s Chris Stewart, Florida’s Sean Bergenheim, Carolina’s Jiri Tlusty, Calgary’s Curtis Glencross and Colorado’s Jan Hejda.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Not really an enticing list of talent. All of them are second tier at best. If those are the only notable players moved on deadline day, it’ll be a letdown compared to the big names who were on the move last season.
Lupul and Winnik on the move soon?
Maple Leafs reportedly shopping Joffrey Lupul.
TSN.CA: Darren Dreger reports there’s a 60 percent chance Toronto Maple Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul could be dealt leading up to the trade deadline and into this summer. If the oft-injured Lupul can stay healthy, Dreger claims there are several clubs with interest in him who could try to land by the deadline. Dreger also considers Leafs forward Daniel Winnik 100 percent likely to be dealt at the deadline. The Leafs seek a second-round pick and either a third-rounder or a prospect. The Winnipeg Jets are reportedly interested, and Alex Burmistrov’s name has been floated as a possible trade chip.
SPORTSNET: Luke Fox cites Sportsnet590 host Andrew Walker claiming the Leafs are actively shopping Lupul. The Montreal Canadiens are one club linked to Lupul in the rumor mill.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Given the uncertainty over next season’s salary cap, Lupul’s $5.25 million per season contract running through 2017-18 and his injury history, I think an NHL general manager would be insane to acquire him. Yes, when Lupul’s healthy he’s an effective top-six winger, but he’s constantly injured, and his contract carries too much salary for too long. Lupul’s not worth the risk.
Updates on Jordan Staal, James Wisniewski and Jeff Petry.
NEWSOBSERVER.COM: Chip Alexander reports Carolina Hurricanes GM Ron Francis disputed media reports out of Pittsburgh that the Penguins are interested in reacquiring center Jordan Staal. “We’re not moving Jordan Staal,” said Francis.
NBC SPORTS: Dhiren Mahiban cites a report from The Columbus Dispatch’s Aaron Portzline claiming two different sources state the Blue Jackets are trying to move defenseman James Wisniewski by the trade deadline. Wisniewski was a healthy scratch during the Jackets game against the New York Rangers on Sunday, prompting speculation he might be dealt, though GM Jarmo Kekalainen claimed no deal was imminent.
EDMONTON JOURNAL: Jim Matheson suggests the Oilers should rest defenseman Jeff Petry, who’s nursing sore ribs, rather than continue playing him leading up to the trade deadline and risk aggravating the injury.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: No surprise Francis denied the Staal trade speculation. Jordan obviously wasn’t about to be moved at the trade deadline. Still, if brother Eric decides he’ll test the 2016 free agent market this summer, Francis could try to move him, which could also affect Jordan’s future in Carolina…Looks like Kekalainen was only telling half the story regarding the Wisniewski trade speculation. More like, “No deal is imminent…but we’re working on one.” Wisniewski’s a right-handed shot which is a valuable commodity, but his cap hit is $5.5 million annually for two more seasons….There’s sufficient interest in Petry so the Oilers don’t have to showcase him now. If he needs a few days to recuperate from his rib injury, it might be wise to shut him down until deadline day.
Latest on the Bruins, Senators and Capitals.
ESPN BOSTON: Joe McDonald reports David Krejci’s knee injury puts pressure on Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli to fill the void. Should Krejci go on LTIR until season’s end as expected, it’ll provide the cap-strapped Bruins with some relief (he’s earning $5.25 million this season) to pursue a short-term replacement. McDonald suggests Arizona’s Antoine Vermette as a trade target. If callup Ryan Spooner plays well at center, McDonald suggest perhaps targeting Winnipeg Jets winger Michael Frolik.
OTTAWA SUN: Don Brennan reports the Senators could unload forwards Colin Greening and Erik Condra by the trade deadline.
CSN WASHINGTON: Chuck Gormley reports the Washington Capitals need a top-line right wing, second-line center and blue line depth. For right wing trade targets, he suggests Edmonton’s Jordan Eberle, New Jersey’s Jaromir Jagr, Carolina’s Jiri Tlusty and Buffalo’s Chris Stewart. For centers, Toronto’s Daniel Winnik and Arizona’s Antoine Vermette. For blueliners, Carolina’s Andrej Sekera, Edmonton’s Jeff Petry and New Jersey’s Marek Zidlicky.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Coyotes are reportedly seeking a first-round pick and top prospect for Vermette, which likely prices him out of the Bruins and Capitals market. The Jets seek a top-nine forward so I doubt they’ll trade Frolik to the Bruins…Condra is a UFA and likely has more value at this year’s trade deadline than Greening, who has term left on his deal…The Capitals stand a better chance of landing Tlusty, Stewart, Winnik or Petry.
No significant moves for Canucks, Islanders and Wild?
TSN: Darren Dreger reports the Vancouver Canucks are confident Eddie Lack can fill in for sidelined starter Ryan Miller and have no plans to shop for a goalie. Dreger claims they’re still on the hunt for goal scoring.
NEW YORK POST: Brett Cyrgalis reports sources claim Islanders GM Garth Snow won’t be pursuing a major deal leading up to the trade deadline and could stand pat.
STARTRIBUNE.COM: Michael Russo reports Minnesota Wild GM Chuck Fletcher believes his club’s priority is its health and not the trade deadline. While several players are sidelined by injuries, others (Justin Fontaine, Jordan Schroeder, Matt Dumba) have stepped up to fill the void. The Wild have won six of eight games since those injuries.
