Sorry folks I've been in and out of the hospital visiting my dad so I've been tied up the past couple of days and unable to reports but everythings going well and now it's on to the rumors.
*-> The Ottawa Senators are continuing their pursuit of Desert Dog Kyle Turris. Don Maloney is still maintaining that he isn't shopping the centerman but I'm still hearing otherwise. It is doubtful however that the Coyotes will move him untill ether he signs a deal or until the final hours before December 1st. There are at least 8 teams interested inTurris but Ottawa, Calgary and Toronto remain the strongest bidders.
*-> There are also rumors going around the Ottawa Senators are looking at Darrick Brassard of the Columbus Blue Jackets but there appears to be better potential suitors than the Sens. It's believed that GM Scott Howson is looking for solid veteran goalie or some instant help at any posistion before he moves Brassard. I'm trying to dig deeper into this one but apart from rumors I've yet to hear anything solid. Some have said that the Islanders and the Jackets are talking Nabokov....
*-> Last bit of Sens news, it appears Nikita Filatov once again is unhappy playing in the AHL. Reports out of Russia have CSKA Moscow highly interested in the Russian sniper and willing to take him on loan.
*-> I'm hearing reports the Toronto Maple Leafs have spoken with Marty Turco in the past couple of days. With James Riemer out for what appears to be long term and the Monster not able to gain Ron Wilsons confidence the Leafs will look at all options.
*-> Niklas Hagman was claimed off re-entry waivers by the Anaheim Ducks yesterday for half the price while the Calgary Flames remain on the hook for the other half.
*-> Mikko Koskinen of the New York Islanders has gone back to Finland to join KalPa of the SM Liiga while goaltender Ari Ahonen has left KalPa in a loan to Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL due to Koskinen's arrival.
