Rumor Update.

On the Leafs...

A source VERY familiar with the situation has informed me the Maple Leafs are "stepping up their efforts to add a substantial asset....one of the names which keeps coming up is Joe Thornton. Thornton would have to be convinced to go to Toronto, but Brendan Shanahan can be quite convincing, and playing with Phil Kessel, Joe could seriously pile up the points.

The Sharks are interested in Jake Gardiner plus....

Another deal I have heard mentioned more than a few times over the last week or so is the Maple Leafs interest in Antoine Vermette and Keith Yandle. A package could be worked out but the Coyotes would like Nazem Kadri back for both players and a pick. (e3)

On the Stars....

There is still serious talk ongoing between the Stars and the Sabres, however the Stars are also looking into goalie Tomas Vokoun to fill the backup role. Anders Lindback has been struggling and as we have seen in the past, if you can't get points from your backup in the West, you aren't going to the dance.


On the Flyers...

Sources tell me that just prior to Braydon Coburn's injury the Flyers were in some serious trade discussions with Edmonton and San Jose. That has cooled for now, but I am hearing there is a growing interest in Brayden Schenn out of Edmonton. Jeff Petry could be the return in that deal, but I have also heard Anaheim with interest.

The Lightning have also talked to the Oilers about Petry.
