Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

Not much new on the rumor front this morning so far which is very odd but hopefully it'll pick up later on today.

*-> TSN's Bob McKenzie believes today is both the day for Ian White and Tomas Kaberle to get dealt. It's believed theirs up to 4 possible teams looking at Kaberle now but Boston still remains number one. People are saying that it's going to be a domino effect around the league for defense. Boston has several side deals such as the Mark Stuart deal to clear cap but it's all hinging on getting a deal done with Toronto first. GM Chierelli has told the media he has up to 6 other defensemen on his list as well. Nothing new on Ian White, I'm still hearing the Sharks but some are saying Philly which is odd due to cap space.

*-> Atlanta is also looking at defensemen currently so you can add them to the growing amount of teams trying to upgrade their backend.

*-> The San Jose Sharks are reportedly shopping for an inexpensive depth goaltender as Antero Nittymaki is currently injured.

*-> I'm hearing more rumblings out of the Desert this morning. It appears what ever Phoenix was working on could be back on. Some are saying Blake Wheeler's return to the organization might be in the works.

*-> Colorado is now going into seller mode from what I'm hearing with the latest injury to Matt Duchene and the retirement of Peter Forsberg. Milan Hedjuk could be avaliable for a rental at deadline day as well as veteran Adam Foote.
