Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Morning

A busy morning already this morning but the rumors are starting off slow but everytime I say that a series of trades seam to go down. Here's a couple of quick ones while on the go.

*-> I'm still hearing a lot about Tim Connolly, it seams a deal at this point is more likely than not. Many teams are interested in Connolly and it now appears the Pheonix Coyotes are also interested. From what I hear the team and new owner Pergula while have a "get to know each other" dinner Thursday evening so any deals may have to wait till Pergula and Regier have a sit down.

*-> A wild one out of Phoenix has the Yotes interested in Montreals Scott Gomez. This one doesn't make sense to me as I've only heard that the Coyotes are interested in a dollar for dollar deal and with the Coyotes in the playoff mix why would they give up one of their better guys for an underacheiver that has shown no potential to turn his game around?

*-> Still no waiving of Bryan McCabe's no trade clause so nothing new on that front yet.

*-> However, the Florida Panthers management has told the players that anybody on the roster could be moved. "It's that time of year" management has said. Many of the Panthers such as Cory Stillman, Bryan McCabe, Stephen Weiss and Marty Reasoner have all expressed interest in returning next season to help the Panthers rebuild. Not too sure if that will come into play with Florida management when deciding deals in the up coming week.

*-> The Anaheim Ducks could be interested in Marty Gerber of the Edmonton Oilers as Jonas Hiller is out with concussion like symptons. It's rumored GM Bob Murray is looking to bring in another depth goaltender but will wait and see how serious the Hiller injury is first.
