Start here today. As is often true regarding many Fridays in July, there is a very discernible pick up in action in the Rumor Mill today...
Anisimov?
The word is out that the Hawks will entertain offers, and are entertaining discussions at least with the NY Rangers and Montreal Canadiens regarding Anisimov...Both teams have a big weaknesses that could be filled by Anisimov and the question remains....why would the Hawks move Anisimov?
The rumor is the Hawks may have something going with Colorado regarding Duchene but they need to not only clear space but get a draft pick that Colorado wants...
It would make sense that Sakic may be holding out for a deal that he really likes and Chicago could be the team telling him to wait a bit longer...
Cody Franson and the Leafs?
I know the Leafs have said they are very happy with where they are defensively, but word is Franson is back on Toronto's radar...
