What an awesome Sunday it is...Some good late night chat last night with some of you folks..It always amazes me the knowledge of the people who come to this site.. I will go into depth on some of this in a bit...

The one move that MAY happen today I am told would involve Kubina to Chicago. The Leafs are holding out for a good price on Kubina. The Leafs do need cap space, but Kubina's name continually coming up has more to do with other teams REALLY valuing Kuina highly and the Leafs realizing they have three or four teams that will give them fair value. As one source said, "If this were just a salary dump it would have happened by now."

The other team to look at today is Atlanta. They are looking very much like a team about to make a move...could be pretty strong as well...

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway...However, the Peca situation is taking a great deal of time and has apparently stalled a trade with the Coyotes that we first spoke of last Sunday...I am told that by Tuesday Peca will be resolved one way or the other and talks will resume with Phoenix in an effort to bring the final piece of the puzzle to blueshirts.

Plenty of tweaks to the UFA chart today...I talked to two major sources this morning who helped me focus in and together the three of us refined this list...
