Mike Cammalleri has been added to Eklund's Trade Rumor Chart



Greetings from the Denver Airport...

After our trip was extended 24 hours yesterday due to weather in Philly it looks like we are finally about to board a plane. So sometime over the next 4 hours, a trade will happen...as always happens when I fly.


So quickly...

On Callahan...

The sides are only apart on years I am told, so it would be pretty shocking and downright bizarre for the Rangers to deal their captain. That said...their could be some bad blood building here...fortunately for the Rangers fans, Steve Bartlett, Cally's agent, is one of the best and most professional out there...very good at keeping his client on an even kneel.


On Vanek....

The trade market isn't what you'd expect, and while Vanek turning down the Isles offer pointed towards him wanting to sign in a specific city, I would not assume the Minnesota Wild, where he is reportedly hoping to sign, will open up the checkbook in similar ways they did for Parise and Suter....


On Gagner...

I am told the Oilers have a VERY strong offer that would return the EXACT kind of d-man the team needs moving forward...however the deal would require the Oilers to eat some of that contract...something they so far have been reluctant to do...

On Miller....

Not so sure Miller makes it past Friday as many are saying....The Capitals and Isles are very much interested in sooner than later...
