*-> Growing rumors have Paul Stastny joining his father in displeasure with the direction the Colorado Avalanche have taken by trading away Chris Stewart and Kevin Shattenkirk. Both Stastny's are rumored to be bitter with the deal and have question what the Ave's were thinking when they pulled the trigger on that deal. Many are believing that the Aves are shopping Stastny, I'm not quite buying it yet but if the rumors of Paul joining his father in anger, it could make Stastny expendable and make an ugly situation go away quietly. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been rumored as well as the Edmonton Oilers who is rumored to be offering a package of ether Andrew Colgiano and Dustin Penner or Ales Hemsky.
*-> Brad Richards could possibly be avaliable according to a recent report by TSN's Darren Dreger. While the Stars arn't shopping the star center it's believed that they have been listening to offers. If their playoff hopes continue to slip it's expected if negotiations faulter the Star could try and shop him. The New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Los Angeles Kings all highly covet Richards. It's still a very longshot at this point but could be a possibility if the Stars arn't going anywhere with the talks before the deadline.
*-> Ottawa's Filip Kuba has presented GM Murray his list of 10 teams he'd accept a trade to. Kuba's limited no movement clause has a 10 team "wish list" stipulation where Kuba is forced to provide a list of 10 willing teams he'd accept a deal to. New York is still the only team I'm hearing interested in Kuba so hopefully he likes the bright lights of the Big Apple for the Sens sake.
*-> Chris Phillips was reportedly pulled away from practice by GM Brian Murray but only to just check up on Chris Phillips status and his willingness to remain a Senator. It's believed that Murray have multiple deals on the table but won't trade Phillips if he keeps pushing that he'd like to remain a Senator. Negotiations are expected to start Thursday and if they go badly and both sides cant come to a reasonable deal then Phillips will be told it's time to move on and asked to waive his clause. Murray's ideal wish would be to have Phillips waive his no trade clause for the good of the team then start negiotions this summer as a free agent but Phillips wishes both sides remain loyal with each other.
*-> Last Ottawa tidbit for now, the Sens are in contract talks with prospect Jakob Silfverberg of Brynas after a recent scouting trip.
*-> Chicago could be now looking at Jim Vandermeer as possible cheap defense option
*-> The Washington Capitals are scouting the Edmonton Oilers, it's believed they could be interested in Ales Hemsky to boost their offense. The Caps scouts were seen watching the Minnesota/Edmonton game.
