News just broke that Kane will undergo surgery and miss 4 to 6 months....that means we will be revisiting Kane trades at the draft...to a degree..Remember, this is an already signed player who a team is going to move for for the long haul..
On Jagr...
It's the one move I think we all want to see. Jagr belongs back in Pittsburgh, and the Penguins could use him. The obstacles are still there however...Jagr demands power play time and top minutes, and then there is that time he signed with Philly after negotiating for months with the Penguins...All that said, today there appears to be some hope that this could once again happen. I am hearing from both sides of "open lines of communication..."
On Vermette...
Funny when a team is looking for public opinion, but you get the sense the Habs are doing that currently with Vermette....Meanwhile, with the Kane situation worsening by the hour the Jets are suddenly looking at Vermette and trying to make something happen....
On Ryan O'Reilly...
While all the focus has shifted to Kane I am told quietly tyne Leafs may be getting closer to their first choice, Ryan O'Reilly...Montreal also in on this...
On Myers....
Maybe not a coincidence that the Avalanche are creeping up and the Kings looking more and more to be moving away....
On Michalek...
This may be the player the Habs do indeed get from Arizona....
On Enroth...
It appears Lundqvist will miss a month...Enroth is a solid option they like a lot I am told.
We will discuss all this and more on today's Buzzcast at 1pm
