Some quick hits for you today...so far.
*Yesterday I had quite a few readers, rather surprisingly, telling me David Jones did not belong in the top 50 UFA's. Well he isn't on there anymore...but only because he signed a four year/16 million dollar deal with the Avalanche. Not bad. All kidding aside...I am a fan of this player and really feel the Avs made a solid move tying him up.
*Also yesterday some of you noted I had left the UFA goalies off of my top 50 and geez...you were right! That's what time changes and Southwest airlines flights without wifi will get ya! (although I have never been better at Ski Safari on my iPad...awesome game.) So today I have added two with a third coming.
*Josh Harding: I have heard has big interest from Tampa (e4) and Boston (e2)
*Marty Biron: I have heard the Wild has interest in Biron, the Rangers would like to keep Marty, and there is even some talk Biron could return to backup Bryzgalov in Philly(e3)...should the Flyers trade Bobrovsky in a draft day deal.
*Another player I left off the top 50 due to jetlag and too many post game NHL parties is Greg Zanon...Zanon is an interesting player and could bring some stability to a team's D. I have heard a lot of interest from Philly(e2), Winnipeg(e4), Calgary(e1), and Boston(e1)...
On the Radulov front....
So could the Predators actually bring themselves to trade Radulov's rights to the hated Red Wings? It is possible I am told...however the team to watch in this case...may be another Central rival...the Blackhawks.
On Jagr...
It does look very promising now that Jagr will return to Philly...but I definitely caution those calling it a "done deal." When it comes to Jagr...I'd wait.
Coming up...
Suter or Weber?
Updated on The Rumor Chart Today:
Many of you have asked me to list players I have updated...so far this morning I made changes to my percentages on Radulov, Luongo, Jagr, Jokinen, as well as added Biron, Zanon, and Harding.
To see the most current team speculation on all the possible trade-able players and some comments updated regularly, go to
The Rumor Chart. Players are added and adjusted throughout the days as to what percentages I feel are their most likely destinations based on the hundreds of phone calls, emails, texts, IMs and telegrams I receive.
