It's coming my friends! It is in the air...Here are some quick hits..


Starting with Vinny LeCavalier...

Not going anywhere fast I am told. I would really expect that Vinny is going to be here at least through this season. From a source, "This summer, Montreal will make an enormous pitch that may be impossible to ignore." I have also heard that Flames have made inquiries.

As for Spezza, new rumours that Columbus may move for Jason. I have heard Nash and Leclair for Spezza and Volchenkov.


Kovalchuk rumours intensify every day, and will continue to despite Waddell not even listening to offers. Toronto, Minnesota, Edmonton and the NY Islanders are the top teams in this race including a rumour that the Isles would consider moving the first round pick that could potentially be Tavares for a "signed" Kovalchuk. That could end up landing the Thrashers Tavares AND Hedman.

The Leafs are working on a plan to sign Jay Bo this summer. A source last night at the game said it would be "Burke's #1, 2 and 3 priority." Given Burke's history of building through a solid defense, it makes all the sense in the world.

Jovanovski is once again in the Rangers sights. The Coyotes talk of trading Jovo, Doan, and even Jokinen is really kind of surprising given the teams play. Phoenix is still very much in a playoff battle right now.

Sources tell me that the Ranger and Penguins are both talking to the Blues regarding Tkachuk.

More to come including the NEW and Improved Rumour Chart launching in the next 24 hours listing all of the most tradeable players ranked by several factors and the seller, buyer rankings of teams.

stay tuned.
