More Trades Coming for Lou? Teams interested in Turco, Niedermayer
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Rumors on February 17th, 2010
- There is still plenty of speculation in Chicago that the Blackhawks are unsure of their goaltending situation. Antti Niemi has started 4 consectuative games, and is most likely their #1 goalie. Does management think a Marty Turco would be an upgrade over Niemi? They’d also have to look at what it would cost to acquire Turco, a 1st and a prospect?
- If the Anaheim Ducks and Scott Niedermayer decide to move on, the Blackhawks, Canucks, and Devils would be interested.
- Are the Capitals unsure of their goaltending situation, and make a run at Marty Turco.
- Big names in Florida that may be available; Tomas Vokoun, Nathan Horton, David Booth, Dennis Seidenberg, and Jordan Leopold.
Around the Boards: NHL Rumors from Garrioch and LeBrun
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on December 20th, 2009
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
- Teams that might be interested in Kovalchuk if he becomes available: Kings, Bruins, Capitals, Rangers, Avs and Devils. Talks between his agent and Waddell were yesterday, with more scheduled.
- Vincent Lecavalier might be moved by the trade deadline. That’s if someone will take his huge contract.
- The Flyers are believed to be shopping Jeff Carter. Garrioch isn’t the 1st to mention this, but I just don’t see it happening. Unless he gets another young star or two in return, but even then, it doesn’t seem to make much sense.
- The 39 year old Teemu Selanne could be moved closer to the deadline if he choose to go elsewhere.
- Joffrey Lupul, his wonky back (out 6-8), and a $4.25 cap hit are available.
- Edmonton is trying to shake up their roster, offering the $5 million plus contracts of Sheldon Souray, Lubomir Visnovsky and Shawn Horcoff.
- Trade deadline time will most likely see Lee Stempniak’s and Matt Stajan’s as part of the Leafs list of who could be available.

- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN:
- Contract talks between Marty Turco and the Dallas Stars probably won’t happen until after the season. If they are out of the playoff race at the deadline, there is a good chance he’ll be moved.
- Trades are becoming really hard to facilitate. ”My phone has actually been ringing more frequently lately,” said another GM on Saturday. “But it’s just so hard right now with nobody wanting to take on salary.”
- David Booth’s recovery from a concussion has improved, he’s been on skates since Tuesday with no set backs. Mid-January would be his earlies return date.

- Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun: Add the Vancouver Canucks to the list of potential teams interested in Peter Forsberg. “First of all, he needs to find out if he can still play,” Gillis said. “If he can, we’re definitely interested. I’ve known his agent, Don Baizley, for a long time and I think we’d be on his short list if Peter decides he wants to play.” The Canucks have sent 2 scouts watch him play in a tournament this weekend.
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post: The Edmonton Oilers still have an interest in bringing Jaromir Jagr in to the fold. “Jags and I text back and forth. I talked to him about six weeks ago,” Renney said. “He’s on our radar. He has NHL years ahead of him. No question.”
- Corey Masisak of the Washington Times: Alex Ovechkin will be out for at least 2 more games. He returned yesterday to the ice for a skating session.
- Steve Gorten of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: It looks like David Booth will be allowed to begin light exercises over the next couple days. Booth would love to return November 20th to face the Red Wings in his hometown.

- Damien Cox of the Toronto Star: It will be a battle of the Jonas’s tonight in Anaheim. The J.S. Giguere out with a groin injury, Jonas Hillier will be starting, and Jonas Gustavsson will be returning from his groin injury. Can the Monster help bring the Leafs their first victory of the season.
