So far today I have updated Gagner, Vanek, Gardiner, and Cammalleri on Eklund's Trade Rumor Chart

As we await what should be an awesome Women's Gold Medal Final here is the latest...

On Sam Gagner...

I disagree with some out there who are saying the deal with the LA Kings is entirely dead. There is a lot of negotiating going on right now and a lot of maneuvering. The Kings are not out of the picture but neither are the Sabres or the Lightning. In fact right now I would put the Sabres as the favorite. But of course as always all that can change.

On Thomas Vanek...

I really believe the Thomas Vanek was hurt at the Olympics because he was truly a non-factor. He is just a much more dynamic player then we saw in Sochi. I do believe his performance won't be helping the Islanders trade him to the highest bidder...but Garth has a definite price tag on Vanek and in the past he has shown he can play hard ball to get his asking price.. Detroit, Minnesota and Anaheim are three teams that I know have interest. Nashville in Pittsburgh are gauging Vanek but I believe in both cases he is not their first option.

On Jake Gardiner...

I am not one of the reporters he believes the Leafs are actively shopping Jake Gardiner in any way. But I do know for a fact teams have talked to Toronto about Jake. Anaheim, Edmonton and Florida are the three I have heard most prominently.

On Mike Cammalleri...

Part of me believes the Flames really want to sign Mike first. Nashville and Pittsburgh have definitely kicked the tires on this one. Los Angeles and Phoenix are watching.

More to come enjoy the women's hockey game!
