All sorts of rumors today involving the Calgary Flames and the Columbus Blue Jackets. With the NHL being so close it is very apparent teams like Calgary and Columbus are afraid of falling too far behind the curve.

In Calgary Rene Bourque is the player many are speculating could be moved, but I continue to hear teams want Glencross. The Flames aren't ready to move him quite yet, but you can be assured if Feaster feels he can make his team better he will move Glencross.

I have heard the Flames best trade partner may be their foe in town for tonight...the NY Rangers, and that Calgary could have interest in Ryan McDonagh and Erik Christensen..

Long range plans in Calgary?? I wouldn't at all be surprised to hear a ton of rumors involving Alfredsson and the Flames..the question is at what point will Ottawa play that card? Earlier they could potentially get a bigger return, but Sens fans would demand a King's ransom for their Captain right now...and rightfully so.

There is also some talk of teams having interest in Bouwmeester...but that looks preliminary...

And the Flames are looking NOW.

In Columbus...

I feel bad for the Jackets right now. Starting off without their top D-man (due to a suspension of great length...still feel it was an over reaction) and now having Carter fighting a small injury the Jackets are going to be chasing the West for some time. There was talk of them moving Brassard, but I don't see that happening until Carter gets much healthier...

Flyers recalling Schenn means...

The Flyers are right up against the cap and with the additions of all the new players there are rumors that Scotty Hartnell could be the odd man out. I don't buy these. Beyond what Hartnell brings to the ice, the Flyers have a great locker room right now and Hartnell is a huge part of it. While anything can happen in a salary cap world, I don't see the Flyers letting go of Hartnell unless it's a last resort. They won't move him for room to maneuver at this point. Sometimes a players value is more than it appears and after a few seasons of "not exactly the greatest" locker room the timing of a Hartnell.......
