Quick Hit Rumors:

*Luongo Update... The Leafs Nonis is being a little slow on the trigger finger as well as he is finding out what was keeping Brian Burke from moving for Luongo to be even all the more true. The Canucks are asking a ton for a player who could very easily be bought out next season if not moved...I still believe it happens, as I do see Nonis going further than Burke would have. I have heard Gunnarsson and Bozak. The Leafs would prefer Kadri and Bozak...that's just the rumor I have heard...unless Mason Raymond is involved.(e3)

*Another fun one here... I don't see this happening, but it was at least mentioned in high level conversations today that the Stars and Canadiens could swap RFA problems in a deal that would send Subban (and another player...a defensive prospect..working on the name) for Jamie Benn(e2)..The Stars defense is small and unless they get some more size life could be hard on the Stars chances to make the playoffs out West.

*Hearing the Kings and Sabres are talking about a deal which could send Jordon Leopold to LA for a forward...(e4)

* The NJ Devils have a ton of interest in Avalanche hold-out Ryan O'Reilly who is the kind of center the Devils see as a possible replacement for Parise.(e3)

* Looking for an interesting long shot in the Luongo hunt? The Blue Jackets are very interested and to be honest I think Columbus may be the best fit for Roberto...

*The Canadiens also have interest in Getzlaf...not necessarily happening before the deadline/summer...but just remember this one...
