*-> The Columbus Blue Jackets are still trying to push a trade for Mike Commodore but there hasn't as much interest as the Jackets once thought. Both Commodore and Columbus want the player off the roster but many teams are still being scared off by his heavy contract and poor play this season. There is some chatter after the all-star game a playoff contender may take a run. Several sites have reported that the Rangers are looking for a defenseman but do the blue shirts really want to end up with another Redden situation? The Rangers have also reportedly spoken to the Jackets about former Ranger Fedor Tyutin.
*-> While on the subject of Columbus it's been rumored the Blue Jackets could be interested in Sergei Gonchar if the Ottawa Senators are going to open up for business and trade some of their many under achievers. Alex Goligoski of Pittsburgh is another defenseman the Blue Jackets have their eyes on it's said.
*-> Washington is reportedly willing to listen to offers for World Junior Team Russia Star Evgeni Kuznetsov after talks have broken down Russian media outlets have reported. The "Kuz" is reportedly going to get offered major money in the KHL to entice him to stay and the Washington management is reportedly concerned he'll be a tough sell to bring over. Not too sure how much I believe this one but it is true that the KHL will make him and Tarasenko major offers to keep them in Russia.
