NHL Rumour Round-Up Thursday Feb. 16 2012

news from around the league today

Pavel Kubina has been held from practice and asked to give a list of teams he would be willing to accept a trade to.  Kubina has a limited no trade clause, expect the Flyers, Rangers and Capitals to make a push.

Rick Nash talk continues to heat up with Los Angeles and Toronto making the most noise, Toronto I am told, has made an offer for Nash, could be just a starting point, as it will be a complicated deal to make.

Jeff Carter's name continues to come up, I have heard a couple sources name Toronto, but I am not sure I buy into it, the contract is out of Burke's comfort zone (as it is with many GM's) and CLB likely won't get market value for Carter due to his salary/injurie issues.

Luke Schenn was a healthy scratch last night vs Edmonton, and while I believe Schenn will be dealt before the deadline, the scratch was mainly due to his poor play recently.

Dustin Penner is drawing interest in the east, Montreal has had talks, as well as Washington & Pittsburgh.

More later, thanks for reading.
