Traveling today...but I got just got bombarded with texts regarding a possible deal between the Rangers and Canucks...I will add that the Oilers may somehow be involved in this...(meaning two sources are hearing that they are playing a role)

Also hearing the Shanahan signing may be imminent..

more to come in a few hours when I arrive...

Updated 4:55

The Rangers are interested in acquiring Bieska and I am hearing a combination of Sangionetti and a BIG MONEY player...

Again I have been told for quite some time now that the player is Gomez. In fact I was told this by a person VERY high ranking at another team involved in the Sundin sweepstakes.

It is important to always note when I throw trade rumours out there I am simply putting out what I am hearing and most of the time I am not hearing every aspect of the trade. In fact I may not be hearing THE most important piece of the deal. Especially when that piece is a big player who the team does not want to know is on the table.

I am also opposed to ever saying that a team is "shopping" a player in a rumour since rumours of 'being shopped' does nothing but damage a locker room. This is easy to do due to the simple fact that usually big name players are more sought after than they are indeed shopped.

For example, Gomez is NOT being shopped by the NY Rangers. This is a case where I have been told that Gomez is wanted by three teams who are checking with the Rangers as to the status of their cap situation should the Mad Mats be visited by three ghosts of hockey's past. Wake up and say, "I want to play!"

Two of those teams I know. Edmonton and Vancouver. The third team I do not, although I am starting to believe that it is Minnesota who is looking more and more like a team that will be moving Gaborik...

Also, I am told the following from a source: "Gaborik could be Pittsburgh's Hossa this season. It is quite possible that they will make this move with the intention of seeing where is goes like they did with Hossa."

Also the Kings and Habs are talking about a prospect swap, but I am unsure as to who yet...

But I am working on it..
