*-> Chris Kunitz of the Penguins is believed to be out there. The Pens are looking at ways to shed some cap while adding another piece to their roster and Kunitz appears to be slowly fading the past few seasons.
*-> The New York Islanders aren't expected to be busy today but have kicked tires on Kris Russell of the Flames. They also have taken a hard look in the past weeks at P.A Parenteau but aren't willing to shell out for him.
*-> Dan Hamhuis highlights the availiable defensemen today and many teams have pushed the Canucks into possibly selling. They were on the fence as of last week but the return could prove too much to resist. The Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings have all expressed interest. Hamhuis himself has said he likes the Dallas Stars chances. Remember he owns a no trade so he controls his fate in this one.
*-> Fedor Tyutin is the consolation prize after Hamhuis it appears. The Blue Jackets need to clear cap badly and with a young blue line Tyutin is expendable especially since he's lost a step.
*-> While on the Jackets, it was rumored that the Nashville Predators were in talks with them about bringing Scott Hartnell home. The deal was rumored to be a 3rd plus Colin Wilson. Many are saying that discussions were only had no offers as of last night.
*-> Montreal would love to move Alexei Emelin and his 4 million dollar cap hit. San Jose was looking earlier this year but Montreal walked away. San Jose also found their shut down guy in Polak.
Time to get some coffee....
