NHL Rumors IV: Bishop, Gonchar, Jokinen, Clarkson, McBain, Regehr, Jagr, Roy and Nonis comments

From twitter unless otherwise noted

  • Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Source saying that the Senators have received several calls for Ben Bishop in the last day or so. They may be more inclined to wait until the summer to figure out their goalie situation. If a top-six forward was offered up for Bishop, then he could be moved and they would run with Craig Anderson and Robin Lehner.

    Sergei Gonchar will likely be saying with the Senators.

    Hurricanes Jussi Jokinen is getting interest, but only if the Canes take a player back.

    Still no contract talks between the Devils and pending UFA David Clarkson. Not that surprising with Lou at the helm.

  • Darren Dreger: Hurricanes defensman Jamie McBain is on the trade market. They’ll get some offers for him.
  • Darren Dreger: The Sabres haven’t received an offer for defenseman Robyn Regehr that has been worth approaching Regehr his approval.
  • Pierre LeBrun: Stars debating on whether to trade Jaromir Jagr or sign him. He’s getting lots of interest.
  • L.A. Lariviere: Jaromir Jagr’s agent, “Jaromir likes Dallas, he likes the team. We’ll have to see if the interest is mutual” There are no contract talks scheduled as of now. On if it’s possible that Jagr is traded, “anything’s possible right now.
  • Renaud Lavoie: There won’t be anymore contract talks between the Stars and Derek Roy. Canucks are interested.
  • Mark Masters: Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis: ‘The calls have picked up but its been relatively slow so far’ … ‘I would prefer a hockey trade where we’re giving up some assets & getting assets back. Difficult to find that right now.’ On if he wasn’t able to make a deal, ‘I wouldn’t be disappointed at all’
  • Chris Johnston: Nonis, “Some (available) players it would be a reach just to say they can help you.”
