Twitter Rumors involving Richards, Liles, Smid, Weiss, Arnott, Bogosian
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Rumors on February 28th, 2011
Darren Dreger: Brad Richards is willing to waive his no trade clause for one team. Dreger guesses the New York Rangers.
Pierre LeBrun: Sources tell ESPN’s Burnside that the Avalanche have told the Leafs he won’t be traded to them. Elliotte Friedman: Reason the Leafs-Avalanche deal for J-M Liles fell apart was that the Leafs asked for a draft pick in addition for Liles. Adrian Dater: Dater think the Avs MUST not get anything less than a 1st rounder or a real good player for Liles.
Darren Dreger: The Flyers are looking for a forward. With Nikolai Zherdev they have $1.9 in cap space, $3.9 without him.
Bob McKenzie: Nashville has interest in Ladislav Smid. Chicago would like to add a defenseman, Matt Hunwick (COL) and Mark Stuart (ATL) could be on their radar.
Damian Cox: Leafs tiring kicking on Weiss isn’t going far.
Spector’s Hockey: Media consensus is that it would take a really big offer to get Zach Bogosian, likely to stay put.
Tom Gulitti: Jason Arnott will consider waiving his no movement clause for a playoff team.
Twitter Morning Rumors
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Rumors on February 28th, 2011
- Howard Berger via twitter: Kypreos said the only city Stephen Weiss would waive his no trade clause for would be for Toronto. Berger thinks they would have to give up a 1st round and Nazem Kadri. Andy Strickland via twitter: Stickland wonders if the Leafs would include Grabovski for Weiss. Grabovski and Tyler Bozak have been discussed. Darren Dreger via twitter: At the moment the Leafs are planning on making an offer, though that can change.
- Craig Custance via twitter: Several teams are interested in Clarke MacArthur, but they’re likely to keep him.
- Howard Berger via twitter: Leafs could get John-Michael Liles cheap if Avalanche decide to salary dump.
- Matthew Barnaby via twitter: Teams calling Sabres about Tim Connolly, but not really available and they are not shopping him.
- Seth Rorabaugh via twitter: Penguins have about $4 million in salary cap space. Rob Rossi via twitter: Penguins looking for depth, but price this morning is high. Panthers looking for high pick for Marty Reasoner, price has to come down if Penguins make a move for him.
- Chip Alexander via twitter: Joni Pitkanen was in the rumors at last year’s deadline too, but wasn’t a UFA. GM Jim Rutherford did say that anything can change with a phone call.
- James Mirtle via twitter: If the Thrashers decide to trade Zach Bogosian, will require a very good young forward in return. Mirtle will be surprised if he’s moved. Mike Brophy via twitter: Atlanta source said Bogosian is not in play today.
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Senators would love to move Filip Kuba and his $3.7 million salary.
- Mike Brophy via twitter: Islanders looking to move defenseman Martinek.
Game Plans for the Thrashers, Red Wings and Lightning
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Rumors on February 28th, 2011
- Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Thrashers GM Rick Dudley expects to be involved with trade talks. He could be after another forward. “We think we put a couple of pieces in place so we are not looking for quite as much as we were,” Dudley said. “If we could make a deal to get another Blake Wheeler-type player, we would do that.”
- Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: “I’ve talked to a few managers, but nothing really is going on,” Holland said. “We made a conscious decision last summer to go to the cap to put ourselves in the situation we’re in, where we’ve had more depth over 82 games, versus keeping cap space and using it at the deadline.” Holland added that they’ll see if there is anything to upgrade the backend of their roster, but he’s comfortable with doing nothing.
- Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune: “To be very vague, I think I have an idea of what most teams are looking for as to whether they are any kind of a fit for what I’m looking to add or what I can offer anybody else in exchange,” Yzerman said. “I have an understanding of the teams that may be a fit for something, but I don’t have any expectations that I’m planning to do this or that.” Yzerman has already addressed 2 needs by bringing in a goalie and 2 defenseman since the beginning of the season, and Ryan Malone is expected back before the end of the season. Yzerman has no intention of giving up a top draft pick or prospect for an impact player and feels they have some good forward depth in the minors if they need a callup.
Blues send Brad Boyes to the Sabres for Draft Pick
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Trades on February 28th, 2011
The St. Louis Blues have traded winger Brad Boyes to the Buffalo Sabres for a 2011 2nd round draft pick.
Andy Strickland of True Hockey: (A good read about Boyes)
It’s clear the new Owner in Buffalo has his eyes on the playoffs and is willing to spend some money. It’s doubtful this deal could have been made two weeks ago. Boyes has one year remaining on a contract that carries a $4 million cap number.
