“You know where that money comes from?” one furious league executive asked. “It comes out of the owners’ pockets and they aren’t going to be happy with this because they’re already not happy with having to foot the bill for Phoenix in the first place.”
“I just don’t understand this,” said the executive. “I guess the belief is if the Coyotes can make a long playoff run, then they’ll be able to recoup some of the money for the NHL.”
Trade Rumors on Trade Deadline Day
Posted by Mark in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on March 3rd, 2010
Here are a bunch of Trade Rumors for you on Trade Deadline Day. Follow trades on our Trade Tracker page.
9:35 AM: Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Flyers, Capitals, and Blackhawks could be looking at Vokoun, Turco, Ellis, and Roloson. The Predators have asked for a high-end prospect and a #1 pick for Dan Hamhuis, though they might keep him and hope to make a deep run in the playoffs. The Bruins, Canucks, Flyers, Devils, Rangers and Kings have all tried to land Hamhuis. The Leafs will look to move at least Stempniak and Primeau. The Thrashers are trying to sign Pavel Kubina to an extension before he becomes a UFA at seasons end. The Canucks, Capitals and Bruins may look at Joe Corvo.
9:31 AM: Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun: Tomas Vokoun hasn’t been asked yet to waive his no trade clause. Paul Kariya won’t waive his no trade clause and Keith Tkachuk may not want to move as well. The Blues could move Brad Boyes if they could find a taker.
9:23 AM: James Murphy of NESN: Targets for the Bruins could be Ray Whitney, Erik Cole and Tomas Kaberle. The 2010 first-rounder likely won’t be available back from Boston, but Chiarelli could net Kaberle with the Bruins’ original 2010 first-rounder, possibly a second-rounder and a young roster player. The chances of this happening were unlikely as of Tuesday night, but “don’t rule it out,” the source said. “Anything can happen.” There was also a rumor that the Bruins and Oilers were talking a deal that would get the Bruins a defenseman and possibly Andrew Cogliano.
9:20 AM: Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News: The Flyers are looking into Dwayne Roloson now that Ray Emery is done for the year. Roloson is a $2.5 million cap hit and is under contract next season.
9:15 AM: Stephen Harris of the Boston Herald: Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli will continue to look for scoring help. They may look at; Teemu Selanne, Ray Whitney, Keith Tkachuk, Cory Stillman, and Erik Cole.
9:11 AM: Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail: The Canadiens may look to free up some cap space, and might look to see if they could shed Roman Hamrlik’s $5.5 million salary next season. That might be tough to do. The Habs may also look to move some salary for draft picks, with Maxim Lapierre, Glen Metropolit, and Paul Mara as potential players that could be moved out.
9:07 AM: Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: The Washington Capitals are showing interest in Oilers Dman, Steve Staios. Staios is 37, and has another season at $2.7 million. John Erskine and a draft pick could head the other way.
9:00 AM: Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette: It looks like the Canadiens will hold on to both Jaroslav Halak and Carey Price.
Tim Sassone of the Daily Herald: The Blackhawks are still trying to trade Cristobal Huet and his %5.625 million cap hit. Rumors are that they are talking to the Panthers, Islanders and Leafs. The Leafs shot down their interest yesterday.
Michael Russo of the Star Tribune: Russo initially thought that Wild would be trading Owen Nolan, but now he’s not so sure. Unless they get a big offer, they’ll probably keep him. The Wild could be willing to move Eric Belanger.
Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: The Avs have put Wolski’s name out there, with the Coyotes Peter Mueller mentioned as a possible return. The Avalanche could look at bringing in Joe Corvo.
Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune: The Lightning could use some scoring and a puck moving defenseman. They could also do some selling with Jeff Halpern, Mike Smith, Mattt Smaby, David Hale, and Alex Tanguay’s name being mentioned.
Turco on the Move Now? Sexton working 9 deals, Price and Halak staying put for the time being?
More Flames talk, Moving Price over Halak? Some injury updates
Posted by Mark in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 26th, 2010
- Friedman thinks that the Canadiens should consider trading Carey Price. The return for Price would be greater than Jaroslav Halak.
- Sheldon Souray has given the Oilers a list of teams he’ll waive his no-trade clause for. In a perfect world for Souray, the Kings and/or Ducks would come calling.
- Trade talks are begining to heat up amongst teams, as one GM said “I got six calls on Friday. I hadn’t got that many in weeks.”
Allen Panzeri of the Ottawa Citizen: Senators goalie, Pascal Leclaire, has begun skating on his own, and hopes to be back in the next few weeks.
Lecavalier rumors shot down, Auld the starter in Dallas? No moves for the Wings?
Posted by Mark in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 19th, 2010
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post: Brooks doesn’t think the Rangers should deal for Vincent Lecavalier, even if if means getting rid of Wade “Golden Gloves” Redden. “It won’t work, because it’s impossible to build contenders through the addition of cap-choking veterans. It won’t work because Lecavalier isn’t 27 and at the top of his game anymore.”
- Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune: Lightning GM, Brian Lawton, shot down rumors that they have been talking to the Rangers about shipping Vinny Lecavalier to the big apple. “It’s complete B.S. and nobody ever calls me or even asks me,” Lawton said. “I haven’t talked to Glen Sather in weeks, so that is completely false that he contacted me to inquire about that. It absolutely did not happen.”
- Elliotte Freidman of CBCSports: “Asked one scout about Carey Price and Jaroslav Halak. He said, “If Halak were made available, there would be 10 teams interested. If Price were made available, there would be 29 teams interested.””
- Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News: The Dallas Stars are giving goalie Alex Auld a little more opportunity to earn the starting job in Dallas, increasing the signals that Marty Turco could be on his way out.
- Ansar Khan of MLive: Despite all their injuries this season, the Detroit Red Wings have hung in there, but it’s still unlikely they will make any significant deals at the deadline. They will be really close to the cap limit and may not be able to take on additional salary. Before the deadline they will get some injured players back, Jason Williams, Tomas Holmstrom and Johan Franzen. It doesn’t appear that Andreas Lilja will return this season from his concussion.
- Michael Arace of the Columbus Dispatch: Arace thinks it would be nice if the Blue Jackets could keep Raffi Torres, but most likely he’ll be moved. Milan Jurcina and Fredrik Modin are also in the last year of their contracts and could be moved. Modin has a no-trade clause.
Around the Boards: Halak or Price? Wheeler out of the Bruins lineup soon? Grabovski and Primeau out for Leafs, Selanne and Getzlaf back soon
- Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette: The Montreal Canadiens seem unsure on how to handle the trade/no-trade/re-sign situation with goalies Jaroslav Halak and Carey Price. Halak had started 6 of 7 games, after not really playing for close to a month. Halak trade rumors have quieted down the last couple weeks. Both goalies have shown they have the ability to be a #1 in the NHL, but then both have shown they could be #2’s in the league.
- Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe: With the newly signed Miro Satan, and Milan Lucic getting close to returning, Vladimir Sobotka and the struggling Blake Wheeler could find themselves out of the Bruins lineup.
- Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star: The Maple Leafs have 9 UFA and 4 RFA this year, and Burke will be paying close attention to all. Some will probably be re-signed, and others might be trade bait at the deadline. Matt Stajan and Vesa Toskala will be at the top of the list.
- Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star: The Maple Leafs will be without centers Mikhail Grabovski for 6 weeks with a broken wrist, and Wayne Primeau for 2-to-4 weeks with a knee injury. Center John Mitchell is now healthy and ready to go. Richard Wallin will mostly be back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch.
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Teemu Selanne (out for over a month) and Ryan Getzlaf (out a week) should both return later this week. That is good news for Ducks fans and Corey Perry, who has only 1 goal and 5 points in the last 13 games. The Ducks have also called up center MacGregor Sharp.
- Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch: Columbus has been going with a ‘win and you’re in’ policy with goalie Steve Mason and Mathieu Garon since mid December. Mason has played well of late so this policy will be void, at least temporarily.
Around the Boards: Habs keeping Halak? Hitchcock safe for now, Gonchar leaving Pens after season? Kessel almost a Blue last season
Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Rumors on December 28th, 2009
- Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News:
- The starting goalie flip-flop in Montreal may have taken place again, with Jaroslav Halak winning 3 consecutive games. Carey Pirce had lost 4 straight decisions. It’s looking like the Canadiens might be keeping Halak.
- Columbus is currently having a franchise worst stretch, 2-11-5, and coach Ken Hitchcock job is safe for at least the time being. Columbus has reportedly been looking to make a few shake-up deals, but have been unsuccessful so far. Team Leadership is something they need.
- This season could be the last for Sergei Gonchar in Pittsburgh unless he’ll take a pay cut. The 36 year old is looking for a 3 to 4 year deal worth between $15 and $20 million. The Pens seem to be fine with the years, but not at $5 million a season. Kris Letang needs a big raise from his current $625,000 salary, and looking for between $3 and $4 million.
- Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com:
- It’s no secret that the Bruins are looking for scoring, but it probably won’t happen until closer to the deadline. They don’t expect anything in the upcoming weeks, the there is the 2 week Olympic shutdown. Until the Atlanta Trashers-Ilya Kovalchuk contract talks are resolved, you’ll read/hear the Bruins are a possible destination.
- Last season at the trade deadline, the Bruins and Blues were discussing Keith Tkachuk and David Perron for Phil Kessel.
Around the Boards: Habs Goalie Controversy, ANA-TO, EDM-TB Trades Coming? Wings Looking for Goalie?
Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Rumors on November 9th, 2009
- Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette: Stubbs outlines the Habs goalie controversy between Jarolsav Halak and Carey Price after a strange twist with Halak`s representative, Allan Walsh tweeting:
“Interesting stat of the night … Price is 10W, 32L in last 42 starts. Hmm.”
and later backtracked:
“It was a tongue-in-cheek comment not meant to be taken seriously, forgot it was Montreal and everyone loses a sense of humour,” he tweeted in reply.
- Bruce Garrioch of the Toronto Sun: The Tampa Bay Lightning might be looking to move Andrej Meszaros. Meszaros makes $4 million so it might be difficult to move him. Not many teams can afford a $4 million underachieving Dman. Though Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune states the Edmonton Oilers have been scouting the Lightning in their quest to find some defensive depth.The Hurricanes have struggled terribly this season and might be looking to get younger. Ray Whitney (no-move clause) and Joe Corvo might be on the block.Dallas is looking to a big forward.The Detroit Red Wings haven`t been that happy with the play of goalies Chris Osgood and Jimmy Howard, and might be looking to bring someone in. Martin Biron maybe?
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Rick DiPietro is a few weeks away from returning, if he can stay healthy, Martin Biron will be on the move. As part of the deal with Biron signing with the Isles, it was put in place that he would be traded if/when DiPietro returned.
- Curtis Zupke of the OC Register: Zupke on Randy Youngman`s article, both are bringing up the JS Giguere to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a deal that would involve Vesa Toskala. Giguere would be a `mentor`for Jonas Gustavsson, and is under contract until next season, making somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 million. Toskala`s $4 million contract expires at the end of the season. The Ducks would love to get out of Giguere`s contract, as Jonas Hiller has taken over the #1 duties. I`m not sure if Toronto would want to bring in a $6 million backup goalie/mentor.
Around the Boards: Fri. Oct. 30th
Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 30th, 2009
- Chris McCosky of the Detroit News: The Detroit Red Wings offense took another hit last night with Valtteri Filppula broke his right wrist. He’ll be out for 6 to 8 weeks. Darren Helm may be given the first chance to replace Filppula on the 2nd line with Cleary and Bertuzzi.
- Michael Russo of the Star Tribune: It looks like Marian Gaborik’s return to Minnesota will have to be postponed as it doesn’t look like he’ll be returning to the New York Rangers lineup.
- Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer: Randy Jones was claimed off re-entry waivers by the Los Angeles Kings. Jones was in the final year of a 2 year, $5.5 million deal. Both the Flyers and Kings will have a $1.375 cap hit for Jones.
- Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star: Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson said there is a good chance that Phil Kessel will make his Toronto debut on Tuesday versus Tampa Bay. Vesa Toskala was activated and may see action tomorrow. Joey MacDonald and rookie Viktor Stalberg were sent to the AHL’s Marlies. Jiri Tlusty was recalled to take Stalberg’s roster spot.
- Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette: Carey Price will be making the start tonight, his first since October 17th. The Canadiens are also mixing up their top 2 lines: Andrei Kostitsyn, Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta; Mike Cammalleri, Tomas Plekanec and Maxim Lapierre.
There have been rumors floating around that the Canadiens and Blackhawks might be talking trade involving Carey Price and Cristobal Huet, but they don’t appear to be true.
