*-> The Washington Capitals appear set to make an immanent deal for a defenseman in the following 48 hours according to reports. There appears two possible trades so far that are floating around. The first is a possible deal with the Los Angeles Kings looking to add some offense to help lift them out of their slide. The player in question is reportedly Tomas Fleischmann for the Capitals and going the other way is Matt Greene or Rob Scuderi. The second deal and the more likely scenario in my opinion is Kevin Bieksa from Vancouver for Tomas Fleischmann. The Canucks would like some offensive depth while Bieksa will help round out the Caps backend. Fleischmann was recently a healthy scratch on Novemeber 17th so it appears that the Caps are ready to part ways, the Caps have being looking for defensive help since the Canadiens knocked them out of last seasons playoffs. Bieksa has been in the Caps sights as well since the rumors hit the media this summer. The Canucks are close to getting a full blueline back so something has to give there as well.
*-> The Carolina Hurricanes are scouting ether the Colorado Avalanche or the Dallas Stars as scouts were seen taking in the sights last week. It's been said the Canes afre looking for help on the right side while the Aves would like a top 6 winger preferably on the left. The Canes are also reportedly willing to part with the incosistent Sergei Samsonov but something says Erik Cole could be potential bait. We'll have to wait this one out I guess.
*-> Andrew Cogliano is being shopped once again by the Oilers in attempt to add a physical shut down defenseman.
More late this afternoon including some Marc Savard and the Leafs rumors.
