Some quick hits....

On O'Reilly...

The Avalanche can't move Ryan O'Reilly until the end of February, but all indications are they very much could be moving the talented forward because they simply won't pay O'Reilly more than superstar Matt Duchene. The way things went down last year were far from pretty, and while both sides have been quiet it won't take much to stir that pot. A source close to the situation tells me that the Avs would be very interested in picking up a top defenseman plus for O'Reilly. The Canadiens, Sabres, and Maple Leafs have interest. One rumor I keep hearing would send Gardiner plus a prospect from Toronto to Colorado for O'Reilly. I have always felt the Leafs were nuts for thinking of moving Gardiner, but O'Reilly may be worth it.

On Sam Gagner...

It's been a weird few years for Gagner and now there are reports the Oilers would consider moving Gagner for the right help...especially in goal. It has long been assumed that Ryan Miller would be traded and then signing elsewhere, but now the Sabres are once again trying to set up a possible Miller extension, and when the new GM comes in shortly I am hearing a Miller signing could be happening sooner than later. That would open up Enroth for all bidders...A few sources are telling me that the Sabres and Oilers have had discussions regarding this scenario.

On the Bruins...

They are saying they are set on D, but no one is buying it. Now I am hearing they have made inquiries regarding Sabres D-man Christian Ehrhoff.

more to come.
