A Quick rumor Update for your trade freeze monday...

*The market right before the freeze apparently opened up for Andrej Sekera and at least three teams have shown interest already... San Jose(e3), LA (e4) and Winnipeg (e2). He will definitely be moved at some point here...

*The Coyotes are looking to move Yandle and Vermette.. The Yandle price is very high right now because the only teams interested are not offering what the Yotes believe they can get for Yandle from the Red Wings or Leafs at the deadline.... Vermette is on the radar of Boston and Calgary I am told.

*The other foregone conclusion at this point is that Jaromir Jagr will be playing his familiar role of "playoff rental." Montreal has interest (despite some times in the past when Jagr and the Habs talked and it didn't go so well...) The Islanders could get in on Jagr I am told as some playoff experience wouldn't hurt them... Another team kicking the tires with Jagr will be Minnesota.

While I have yet to hear this as a rumor, I really would like to see #68 play in Pittsburgh one last time....not sure if the baggage from Jags double crossing them when he signed in Philly is too much to overcome though...
