We have seen this before. After two teams have hit stalemates with troubled players they turn towards each other and in this case it could make sense.

Both Anaheim Ducks d-man Hampus Lindholm and Winnipeg Jets blue-liner Jacob Trouba are not yet signed, and both could be more suited for the other team. Lindholm is a left-shooting defenseman after all. It is really crazy that a team is burdened with right-handed defensemen, but the Jets are.

So today a few sources of mine are saying the Ducks have thrown Lindholm's name into the fray and have begun to believe that perhaps Cam Fowler is the better option for them. Fowler has played extremely well early in this season.

Leafs and Ducks rumors continue...

These teams have both been scouting each other with large contingencies on the road and now I am hearing the Leafs, who started off looking at Fowler, may also be turning to Lindholm as an option. This would require a major player coming back to Anaheim and the Ducks know it. So they have been looking hard at all the young offensive talent that Leafs can offer...

We will discuss all this and more on the Buzzcast at 11am today.
