Quick Hit.

Met with a source who was in town for a few hours today and was given a ton to follow up on. As is usual in these situations, some of that which I am told can be shared, while the source has given me places to look in other instances, and at least two rumors that I need to find out more on before I go with them.

On Frolov...

He is currently hurt again and will miss more time. The Kings are adamant on not trading him which in so many ways tells me they are definitely interested. Because seriously, why would they NOT want to move him? Coming out this definitively and saying that you won't move a player that you are at odds with and whom has value that you need to utilize is really a team's way of stating..."The current offers aren't even close." Teams that are scouting and interested in Frolov include NJ, Montreal, Atlanta and Ottawa.

On Whitney...

Ever since reporting that the Flames have interest in Whitney last week it became apparent that this vital cog would be moved this season. More and more people have told me that everyone from LA to Dallas to Buffalo has expressed an interest. However at this point the best return (at least from a fit perspective) is definitely Calgary.

On Price...

Not dead. The rumor I floated last week of another team that really wants Price is still kicking around the mill. What will the Habs do?

On the Kostitisyns...

Yes indeed, the other Kostitsyn has been pretty good at stating out of the squabble the team has had with his little brother until now. Andrei is still staying out of the Sergei squabble yet now he is complaining about his own ice time. And we are hearing way too much about it considering how tight lipped the Habs tend to be. I can't help but think the Habs may be ok preparing the faithful for a deal that would ship both brothers. Perhaps even to Carolina where they play next. Or Nashville who has attempted to get both already. or so I am told.

On Savard....

The worst kept secret currently going in the NHL is the Leafs interest in Kessel's linemate Savard. The Leafs will offer him a great deal this summer and it is possible still that they may try and grab him sooner than that. Especially if the Bruins fear him to be gone.


More to come in the AM after I catch up with another source at a 7:15 am breakfast! UGH!

enjoy the night's games.
