*-> The Atlanta Thrashers are reportedly still working the phones looking for another possible deal. GM Rick Dudley has said he's willing to make another deal but only if it makes sense for the team. At thispoint he'd rather add than subtract. It's rumored he's interested in a depth defenseman and a two way forward to help with their playoff chances.
*-> The San Jose Sharks are also still looking for a deal after bringing in enforcer Ben Eager yesterday, their attention now has been turned to obtaining an impact defenseman to help run their PP and attack from the point. Sergei Gonchar and Francois Beauchemin have been linked to the Sharks as of late. Both could be viable options if the Sharks can send some cap space back.
*-> The Columbus Blue Jackets GM Scott Howsen has said he has no plans to reassign disgruntled defenseman Mike Commodore to another AHL team. Commodore has said he'll play for Syracuse as long as the Jackets attempt to deal him in the near future. He cleared re-entry waivers earlier this week.
*-> Many are saying the Canadiens may be in the market after losing 3 forwards to injury last night. From what I hear Max Pacioretty will be back in the line up this week and Jeff Halpern played the 3rd period last night so there may not be a panic move yet. Although the length and severity of the injury to Mike Cammaleri, TSN has reported a 2 week minimum for his seperated shoulder. I hearing that it's looking more like 6 to 8 weeks which may cause the Canadiens to go out and look for more offense. The Canadiens have always liked Jason Arnott's combo of size and skill. The Flyers however has also linked to Arnott as of late.
*-> Expect the Buffalo Sabre's to make a move to keep them in the hunt in the near future.
