*-> Bob McKenzie has twittered that Ray Emery and Andrew Peters have both cleared waivers while the Anaheim Ducks have placed Aaron Voros on waivers and the Tampa Bay Light have also placed Mattias Ritola on waivers. Both are expected to clear.
*-> A recent rumor has surfaced that Peter Forsberg could be had at the deadline if the Colorado Avalanche slip out of contention and their playoff hopes fade. The Aves would welcome a deal in that scenario the rumor claims. If he plays well and is considering another season I cant see the Aves selling him off besides Forsberg also owns a no trade clause probably for that very reason although I'm sure more than a handful of teams would be interested.
*-> Jarrko Ruutu was healthy skratch again last night, some are saying it's because the Vancouver Canucks who have been interested in the agitating winger had asked the Senators to not play him agains't their squad due to his nature and possibly being teamates in the near future. This is a tough one because although the Canucks are definately looking at depth players I cant see them make that kind of request especially when playing them they'd get a great view of what they could be getting. It also could be to keep him healthy but his recent history of being skratch kinda ruins that idea.
*-> The Atlanta Thrashers are looking at shut down d-men around the league as well as an offensive player to help drive their attack. They also would like to add a veteran for down the stretch and into the post season. No names for defensemen have come up but some are saying they too could be interested in Tomas Kaberle should he be avaliable.
*-> Rumors have the Boston Bruins interested in Jason Arnott and Doug Weight as they look to replace Marc Savard.
