When you think about it, the Leafs and Oilers are just about perfect trade partners. The Oilers have an abundance of forwards but need defense, the Leafs need forwards and have more depth than any team in the NHL on the blueline.

However many have pointed out the egos involved and remember a little offer sheet the Oilers once made for Penner and the reaction of then Ducks GM, Brian Burke. b Many have said Burke would NEVER deal with the Oilers again. I am here to assure you the Penner deal is a long ago memory and Burke would deal with the Oilers.

The rumor out there of Omark and a pick for Franson is "interesting" according to sources I talk to, but there are "other players in play here."

I wouldn't be shocked at all to see these two teams make a deal but I also wouldn't be shocked if the deal stretches beyond that.

Senators interest in Brassard increases...

This rumor has been out there for a while, but I could up it to an (e3) as of this morning..

Blackhawks about to make a trade with....

Keep your eyes on the Hawks today...I have heard rumors regarding the Islanders and the Hawks...

Islanders also in talks with Blues...

The Blues are being aggressive right now and more than one source has said they have "interest in a young forward on the Isles in return for a strong defensive prospect and a #1."

Devils and Kings?

The teams have been talking, but I get the impression this deal is a deal that is down the line and contingent on how each team does...according to one source, "The Kings have huge interest in Parise, but nothing will happen until the deadline approaches and the asking price would be a goalie and a top 6 forward."

more to come.
