Quick Update as I have been told to be prepared for some Major Heatley movement this weekend.

*The Sharks have been unable to make the one deal that was needed to get this done and I am told they are shifting their focus to Phil Kessel and the deal that has been reportedly waiting in the wings since last week. (However, I am not ready to write off the Sharks yet for Heatley)

Meanwhile, the two original favorites, The Wild and the Rangers are once again leading a charge. The Wild would need to make another deal (reportedly with St Louis or Colorado), and the Rangers would have to be willing to give up Dubinsky, or so we are told. (I still believe the Rangers may be wise to wait this out and still hold a chance of getting Heatley without giving up Dubinsky)

The Wild really like Heatley and are believed to be offering more if the deal with the Blues can be swung. And that deal would likely send Harding to the Blues or Avalanche.

For all those out there, like me, who thought that the Rangers were not a possibility due to cap restrictions, well...I am told that all you need top do is realize that the 3M that was going to Zherdev is gone and the Rangers will easily trade at least 6 back to Ottawa.

Who else could get in on this? A source has told me that while teams like LA, Dallas, Tampa, and even Vancouver have kicked tires....As of now they are dormant.

Again that is just one source (a good one, but just one).

*The Canadiens have ramped up talk for Frolov, and once again the players rumoured for Marleau, Plekanec and Halak, may be included. Cammalleri is very much pushing for this move...

*As for Tanguay, the Wild are now reportedly a player as well, which is not surprising, but despite reports to the contrary so are the Penguins. I talked to a source VERY high in Pittsburgh who said that the lines of communication are open.

*The Sabres are maybe leading the way for Zherdev currently...I am told they are extremely serious.

The Oilers are also talking to Montreal...I have been unable to get anything more on that in terms of details...
