Ice Scoopz: Friday Evening

Some rumors live from the Hamilton Bulldogs / Binghamton Senators game at the Scotiabank Place. So far a pretty even 0-0 game. Not really any standouts tonight, I thought Corey Locke who leads the AHL would be more of a force in front of his former city but instead I've barely noticed him. Eric Gryba and Robin Lehner have looked good for the Sens while Enqvist and Max Pacioretty have stood out for the dogs. Anyways here's the rumors as promised.

*-> I've looked more into the Tomas Vokoun to Ottawa rumors and they appear to be 100% false. Several sites have been saying the Sens were trying for a deal with Florida to get some help between the posts. This one doesn't make sense in anyway so I was doubtful from the start. Markstrom isn't ready for the show yet so no sense in Florida rushing a trade as well as the Sens don't have the cap space so it would have to be a cap for cap deal plus goaltending isn't the Sens biggest problem at the moment.

*-> Another goaltending rumor has the Leafs willing to deal J.S Giguere now that Jussi Rynnas is dominating the AHL. The rumor has it that the Leafs are looking at moving J.S close to the deadline to make room for next season. Jonas Gustavsson would be the more likely trade candidate with high value but the Leafs would like to keep their young European free agent tandem and part with age. JS could be an attractive piece for a team looking for playoff drive with a shakey tandem. This will be one to watch as the deadline nears.
