Tuesday Notes / Rumors

Montreal is closing in on a defenseman, and I am told were actually in on Erik Johnson right til the end.

Toronto is also close to acquiring a defenseman, and word is they may be contemplating a larger move that would land Paul Stastny, and the Leafs brass is going over the ups and downs of assuming the 6.6 Stastny has on his deal, Toronto was talking with LA about Brayden Schenn, but I have been told LA wanted much more than Burke was willing to give (including Nazem Kadri)

New Jersey continues to roll and are not expected to tinker much with their current line-up, if they lose a couple this week, I expect Arnott will land somewhere else by the deadline.

Toronto has made forward Colby Armstrong an assistant captain, and he returns this evening vs the Islanders along with Mike Brown, Christian Hanson and Jonas Gustavsson were sent to the Marlies of the AHL.
(Joe Colborne acquired in the Tomas Kaberle trade has 3 goals in 2 games for the Marlies, as well as a shoot-out goal)

The NY Rangers are involved in serious talks with Florida about obtaining Bryan McCabe, Florida is close to blowing it up after being on the losing end so often in recent weeks, Montreal also has interest in McCabe.
