*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks are talking deal. A league source has reported a deal is being ironed out by both clubs with Toronto trying to shake up their struggling squad and Chicago trying to dump cap. Right now it looks like Burke is trying to pry a draft pick off the Blackhawks and also what is believed to be defenseman Brent Sopel or possibly Cam Barker in exchange for a mid range pick next season and a throw in midrange prospect. Christian Hanson has been mentioned as well as Garnett Exelby. This doesn't sound like a for sure thing yet as I don't believe the Hawks are that desperate to get rid of Sopel for virtually nothing.
*-> Still no word on Miroslav Satan's return to the NHL. His agent reported a few weeks back that he was close to a deal and narrowed it down with 2 teams. He could just have been trying to stir the pot and get some teams on the phones. Currently Minnesota and Ottawa are the two rumored to be involved.
*-> Alexander Frolov continues to frustrate his Los Angeles coaches and GM with his in consistent play. This season has been a frustrating rollarcoaster for the Russian sniper and is an almost certain trade deal in the future, quite possibly at the deadline if the Kings can get some more help back to replace him. The Kings management have already stated they don't want to lose him for nothing. Lots of teams have inquired about his services but the Kings aren't ready to trade yet but have small hopes on resigning him.
