Time to start looking at some more players who are going to be vital in the trade market that could very much determine who is in and who is out... With many players names being mentioned right now, there are at least 5 teams looking hard at adding a center.
On Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Jason Spezza...
On RNH...
RNH is NOT a third line center and while he has shown moments of absolute brilliance in Edmonton, more than ever it appears he could be the last major chip for Chiarelli...and there are several teams who have shown interest...Columbus and Montreal are leading the way for RNH (Nashville was also involved until acquiring Turris...) The latest teams I have heard are Buffalo, Anaheim, and Arizona...
Update from a source: Montreal may be "Very Close to Making a Deal in the next 24-48 hours. A few things still need to be figured out."
On Spezza...
Jason Spezza has not fit into the system in Dallas under Hitchcock, and still has a year remaining on his contract...however there are plenty out there who still believe in his talents and Dallas could move Spezza without too much issue...
Montreal and Buffalo are possibilities...One source said the Stars went to Ottawa before the Duchene trade but the Sens did not return the calls...
