*-> The Chicago Blackhawks were reportedly testing the trade waters at the trade deadline with Cory Crawford. The Hawks have a goalie log jam with Niemi and Huet and its looking more and more likely they'll be unable to deal Huet. Crawford as admitted to being unhappy in his situation and would welcome a trade if he doesn't make the team soon. Crawford has dominated the AHL since being drafted 7 years ago and feels he has nothing left to prove at that level. Crawford also has said that while he is unhappy he'd prefer to stay in Chitown but if the chance isn't coming he'd like to move on. No word on suitors except that there has been a steady parade of scouts watching him for the past 2 years.
*-> Vesa Toskala of the Calgary Flames plans to continue his NHL career after this awful season for him. He still considers himself an NHL caliber goaltender and is willing to fight for a chance to start even if it means a season as a cheap back up. Calgary likes his reliability and are considering signing him if he's willing to take a cut. Many people have also reported that several European teams and a KHL team has contacted his agent about next season.
*-> The Florida Panthers are expected to make a Major shake up trade to start the next season. Cory Stillman and Tomas Vokoun are at the center of the talks. Vokoun is highly sought after. His impressive play this season has made him a hot item this spring. Philly almost had a deal in place at the deadline but Florida declined. The Ottawa Senators have also been mentioned. Stillman has been rumored to be a draft day trade bait for any team looking for a veteran goal scorer and have a draft pick to spare.
