*-> Paul Kariya of the St. Louis Blues has told the club he will not waive his no trade clause for any deal. The rumored deal was Paul Kariya to Los Angeles but now we can most likely cancel that one. The Kings will have to look elsewhere after plan B has failed. They may return back to the Carolina Hurricanes and pay their high price for Ray Whitney. While it's not a panic yet but I expect if Whitney drops tonight or tomorrow the Kings will start to panic and make a big move.
*-> Its rumored the Toronto Maple Leafs will try and flip Martin Skoula for what they can get to add to the reward they recieved for Luca Caputi. The Vancouver Canucks and the New Jersey Devils reportedly have had eyes for Skoula but both are looking for something bigger. The Leafs might have to turn to the losers who don't acquire their prized defensemen once the few names get dealt.
*-> The Dan Hamhuis deal has appeared to be stalled. Nashville is reportedly driving up the price for the package of Dan Ellis and Hamhuis. Theres still about 4 teams in the bidding with Philly still at the top, the Bruins, Devils and the Canucks are the big 4 while New York Rangers and Buffalo have inquired. This one will goto the wire I'm pretty sure.
*-> The Flyers are reported to have made an offer for Roloson. Many media pundits have stated it's not official yet and the Islanders are now looking to keep Roloson for their own playoff run. Another crazy rumor out of the City of Brotherly Love has the Flyers acquiring Tomas Vokoun.
*-> While on the subject of Vokoun he was interviewed this morning and revealed he has been in talks with Randy Sexton about the situation and but would not reveal whether or not sexton was looking to deal him. He also left a very vague picture as he didn't mention anything about being willing to waive his no trade clause but he did say he hasn't been approached or asked to waive it yet and he does know Sexton has received offers. He also said he doesn't have a list of teams he would be willing to waive his no trade for. He ended the interview by saying he was ready for anything ahead of him leaving the door wide open for a deal or no deal.
*-> Edmonton and Montreal are still talking and it appears to be about Price but Montreal's asking price is high and Pierre Gauthier is still doubting dealing Price without a quality back-up or even trying to deal him at all. Its also rumored that Montreal has taken a look at Marty Biron incase such a deal went down.
