Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Afternoon

A few quick whispers from around the league..

*-> Kyle Turris is rumored to have up to 8 teams interested in him. The Columbus Blue Jackets have reportedly entered the fray. Ottawa still seams to be the consensus favorite but arn't willing to pay the Coyotes the steap price being asked.

*-> Evgeni Nabokov is gaining interest around the league. Some are saying the Solumbus Blue Jackets would love to add some insurance while many are saying that Toronto is ready to pull the plug on Jonas Gustavsson and bring in support for James Riemer. I'm not too sold on the Leafs interested yet although there is the Ron Wilson connection. It isn't a secret when Rick DiPietro gets healthy the odd man out is Nabokov. No way Dipietro is going anywhere.

*-> The Edmonton Oilers are silently shopping Linus Omark around the league. The skilled winger has sat the last 5 Oiler games and isn't keen on heading back to the AHL again. Remember Omark holds a return to the KHL clause if he's unhappy. It's said several teams in the East are interested but most teams continue to try and barter for Ales Hemsky. I'm hearing the Habs and the Canes both love Hemsky.
