*-> The Edmonton Oilers have been involved in quite a few trade talks the past few days. The Oilers are reportedly shopping defenseman Tom Gilbert with the emergence of Denis Grebeshkov and the offensive tandem of Lubomir Vishnovsky and Sheldon Souray there's not much room for him. The Buffalo Sabers are openly interested but would have to trade some salary to make the deal work. The Oilers are asking for Drew Stafford in return. I think this situation is highly unlikely but could work if the Sabers dump a body or 2.
*-> The Oilers have also shown interest in disgruntled Montreal Canadian Sergei Kostitsyn. Tom Gilbert could be the offensive pointman the Habs are looking for but cap space again would be the problem. Montreal could clear some space by packaging the brothers but its highly unlikely. The more likely scenario is the Oilers making a direct deal for SK74.
*-> The Wild are in some hot water with 2 of their top 6 wingers out for the count and not enough depth. Minny is already starved for offense and there isn't many options left. One rumor that has surfaced is free agent Miroslav Satan. He could be an option as he'd be cheap and could boost the offense. He also has good repor with fellow countryman Petr Sykora.
