Quick Hits...

* The Leafs and Capitals are still in the rumor mill, but one source reminded me of Toronto's love of distracting the media in one direction whenever they need space to pull of a major deal. I do believe some of that is at work here.

*According to three sources the Ducks and Jackets continue to talk, and it is isn't out of the question that we see a "super swap" of sort of Nash for Getzlaf..

*The Sabres also have interest in Getzlaf. I have not heard rumors surrounding Buffalo and Bobby Ryan since the last Ryan watch. That begin said...we could hear something soon.

*The Habs are also talking to Anaheim, but more about Beauchemin..(e3)

*The Hurricanes would like to move Gleason along with a bigger ticket item to save Cap space...Tuomo Ruutu could be a fit and has great deal of value...especially in Nashville and Toronto.

*Don't be shocked if Antero Niittymaki is enroute to Toronto soon as well. The Isles also have interest in Nitty.

*When it comes to Iginla, the teams I am hearing most are still Pittsburgh and Washington. However Philly, Buffalo, Montreal and Tampa are also possibles.

*The Kings and Lightning could pull off a monster of a trade if they could just get one of the key components to waive.

*Parise to Edmonton is the latest. The Oilers have the young firepower needed to get the deal down. A possible Parise for Bouwmeester+ deal has been in contingency plan for over a year. At some point it either happens or it doesn't.

*Hemsky could be headed to the Red Wings, but Pittsburgh also has interest. The Oilers would love to somehow get Okposo out of the Islannd.

*Perry to Vancouver has been kicking around on the internet for a few days now. I am told it's a "Diversion" of a rumor. Vancouver is trying to make something happen...just not Perry.
