A couple quick updates and rumors before bed.
*-> The Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis has said he is only looking at depth defenseman at this point due to cap space. Nothing major as deadline day approaches.
*-> Brian Burke has once again spoke to the media in regards to the Tomas Kaberle ordeal and has put an end to the almost done Boston rumors. He went on the record to say he is indeed speaking with several other teams even without Kaberle's permission. When he gets to the point where a deal could be had he would then approach Kaberle and his agent about a possible move. He also believes Kaberle would be open to other teams and given the situation and respect between the two he feels the player would be willing to look at other options. He also said Kaberle's agent has yest to present him a list. Nothing is imminent at the moment with the Kaberle situation it appears now. It's still believe the Canadiens, Rangers and Capitals are also looking "Kabby" but the Bruins remain the favorite.
*-> Stephen Weiss has yet to be asked for a list of teams or if he's willing to accept a trade. Nobody from Florida's management has approached him yet. He still states he'd rather remain with the Panthers and help them rebuild but he would be willing to move on if the team asked. That's good news for the many teams interested in Weiss.
*-> A rumors out of Chicago has the Blackhawks trying to acquire Mark Stuart from the Boston Bruins. Many were saying earlier tonight it was a done deal, this is not the case however several writers have ruled out this deal.
*-> Still nothing on the Ian White front but according to Hurricane management there is several teams involved and several offers on the table for the blueliner. Paul Maurice has told the media it's a day by day situation with White. Bob McKenzie has said Vancouver has not spoken to Carolina about White. I'm hearing San Jose is involved in the bidding.
More Tomorrow! Night Folks
