On Randy Jones...
Knew the Kings liked him and as we said yesterday, the Flyers weren't putting him through re-entry unless they had a taker...It hurts to lose a guy and take half a cap hit, but when the player was clearly not going to play for the NHL squad the Flyers are seeing this as "getting back" half the cap hit.
Sometimes you look at the Cap Hit as half full I suppose.
On Price...
No they are not moving him to Chicago for Huet. I just heard this rumor and no that is not the goalie and/or team I am discussing.
Here's what else I can tell you about yesterday's rumor I posted that said the Habs were considering a trade that would bring another star goalie back in return:
#1. The goalie "Potentially" coming back is as big of a shocker leaving his team as Price is leaving Montreal. Maybe even bigger.
#2. The goalie "Potentially" coming back is a success and is playing this season as a starter (so rule out Giggy)
#3. The team making the trade with Montreal would love to expand the deal to include Plekanec, but I am told that was more a wish than reality. If Plekanec were to be involved, of course the other team would be also trading more.
#4. The team LOVES Price, and while I am not certain of what to believe in the Montreal speculation mill, I am not 100% convinced that Price loves Montreal, and if he does not like Montreal you can assume that the Habs will try to move him before this becomes an issue.
#5. I was contacted by two other prominent NHL reporters yesterday after publishing my report that agreed with it entirely.
Will it happen? As is the case with every rumor the answer is doubtful. Most discussions don't pan out, but my job is to inform you of discussions at all levels. This caught me by surprise and even if it can't be pulled off, remember these clues...
On Colorado...
I am hearing that the Avalanche are actually looking around for a D-man and have been talking to the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres like some of the young speedy forwards. More on this as it transpires...
