On Souray...it is safe to say that the market is being played here...Sheldon is a talented kid and the top UFA remaining on some people's charts......The teams RUMOURED TO BE involved are the Sabres, Rangers, Islanders ,San Jose, LA, and New Jersey...There are a ton of rumours swirling being put out b ythe spin masters in this situation...Sheldon will sign in the next day or two I am told, but as we saw with Ryan Smyth the more teams involved, the longer it goes...

Zubrus to Toronto (e4) or {7:05} Isles (e4). Nice little bidding war it appears..
Here are a few quick hit rumours prior to dinner for you all...be back in a bit
Handzus to Kings (e4), Blues (e3)
Souray: Quickly becoming the interesting story of the UFA signing period...He has turned down an offer in Montreal, and has reportedly talked to Buffalo, NY Islanders, and San Jose....something will likely happen tonight I was told.
Nagy to the Islanders, Leafs, Phoenix or Chicago.
Forsberg...It has been long speculated that the he will likely return in January to one of either Philly and/or Colorado...Well both teams are looking much better today...The Avs have more cap space, but Foppa has shown he'd rather win in the past...I am hearing another Western team that may make Peter a really strong offer

5:37 Nagy to NYI (e2)
5:25 Souray to BUFFALO not NYR (corrected at 5:25) (e3), Dallas (e3)
