Sunday Rumors around the NHL

TSN Analyst Darren Dreger is reporting that Dallas & Pittsburgh are in talks involving Jamie Benn & Alex Goligoski - UPDATE : DEAL IS DONE

Toronto continues to talk with LA, Edmonton & Colorado, but also have been told that there is a peaking interest in Florida's Steven Weiss, will continue to monitor that rumor.

Expect Toronto to deal for a defenseman possibly either tonight or early Tuesday, a depth defenseman for the 3rd rounder is all that is expected, but a package deal with one of the aforementioned teams could expand it significantly.

With a week to go, look for Washington to make a move soon, they are looking at Thomas Vokoun right now, as is Philadelphia.

More later on!

Leafs Acquire Aaron Voros from Anaheim

Toronto has traded a conditional 7th Rounder to Anaheim for Aaron Voros

Voros will report to the Toronto Marlies some time today.

more details as I get them.

The Mill is Churning Hot!

Chicago Bound

It's Wednesday night, and it seems Brian Burke has created a trickle down effect!


Minor deal - SJ deals Steve Zalewski & Jay Leach to NJ for patrick Davis & Mike Swift


Chicago trades Jack Skille, Hugh Jessimen, David Pacan to Florida for Michael Frolik + Alexander Salak.


I think this is an excellent move for Chicago, Frolik is a top end talent that just seemed stalled in Florida and playing with talents like Patrick Kane/Toews etc can only help him reach his potential, this may also signal the end to any Kris Versteeg to Chicago rumours.


San Jose is in full reaction mode and are looking to acquire a defenseman asap, they are talking with Toronto and Atlanta at the moment.


The Joe Pavelski to Toronto rumour is kicking up again, I expect the Leafs to be coming up with flurry of trades within the next few days as Burke does not like to be "in the herd on deadline day".


Toronto has a deal for a "top end centre" my source says, and are just waiting for the "Western Conference team" to get back to them, and the deal has been brewing for a couple weeks.

Burke just getting started

It's an exciting time of year for hockey fans for sure!

Wednesday NHL Rumors

Happy Hump Day everyone, here are some rumors floating around the NHL at the moment

Edmonton has been receiving a few offers for Ales Hemsky, nothing of note so far though, have heard the offers are not "earth shattering" so I expect the Oilers to hold out on a decent return.

Dustin Penner will likely be wearing a different jersey within the next 3 weeks, have been told Montreal, Toronto, Boston and Los Angeles are looking at him.

Speaking of Toronto, Brian Burke has been fielding several calls from teams about Beauchemin, and the list is growing of possible suitors, which will help Toronto in negotiating leverage, Burke has so far been trying to leverage a package deal out of teams in an effort to make a huge impact in one deal.

Word out of Montreal is that Hal Gill and a few others are not pleased with P.K. Subbans actions, most recently with Gill calling Subban "an a**hole" in front of reporters for Subban leaving his equipment scattered all over the dressing for the staff to pick up, P.K. has not made a very good impression on veterans in the league in his first year.

Crosby & Malkin both out due to injury

Sidney Crosby is still out with concussion symptoms, and the Penguins have to be VERY worried about their future star players, Malkin has both a torn MCL & ACL and requires surgery, and Sidney has recently been put on LTIR, Crosby was putting together one of those special seasons that only come around every decade and it's a shame it was cut down by another head hit.
