The Hockeybuzz Rumor Chart
Happy Father's Day Hockey World!
Seeing the family for the first time in a long time today, but the rumor mills are really starting to BUZZ! Lets get to this...
Cam Ward+ for Marleau +
I am tracking a hot rumor on this hot day that the Carolina Hurricanes and San Jose Sharks are in heavy talks regarding a trade that would send Cam Ward and two prospects to the Sharks for Patrick Marleau and a pick in NEXT year's draft...more to come for sure.
On Niskanen and Boyle
Niskanen is getting lots of interest and the Penguins are unsure as to what to do with him. He has the most value to probably the Pens themselves because he is their best moving D-man apart from Kris Letang. There are rumors out there that the Penguins could trade for Dan Boyle's rights from the Islanders. But the Pens may also still decide that they cannot let Niskanen get away.
On Philadelphia and Phaneuf...
There are just rumblings at his point but there is little doubt the Flyers are interested whenever a tough and offensive minded D-man is on the market and Phaneuf is among the toughest. The Leafs want Brayden Schenn and a high end pick I am told. Not sure the Flyers head that way but it's out there.
Mike Richards to NJ, NYI, Chicago or Anaheim?
It is starting to sound more and more like Mike Richards, fresh off the Stanley Cup victory, could be bought out or traded. The Blackhawks are among the teams most interested I am told if a trade were to occur. The Devils, Islanders and Ducks would have interest if he is bought out and Richie were to become a free agent.
The Panthers staying pat with pick
It is looking more and more like GM Dale Tallon won't be moving the top overall pick and instead will be drafting Aaron Ekblad.
Blues and Spezza?
I know Hitchcock is a big Jason Spezza supporter and the Blues are in the market for a top 6 forward with speed. Spezza would also fit in very well with this group.
Kesler and Anaheim gaining possibility..
I will be tracking this a lot this coming week. I have been told a Kesler deal will likely happen ahead of the draft
Flyers looking at Brian Boyle
Brian Boyle, who is now a pending UFA after a very impressive playoff run, is in the run to be a Flyer UFA. I was also told the Wild and Canucks are interested.
On Benoit Pouliot...
He was one of the best forwards for the Rangers, despite taking too many offensive zone penalties.. Pouliot will get himself quite the raise. The Rangers want him back, but the Flyers, Wild, Vancouver, and Flames will all be courting the big guy as well...
Robidas back to Anaheim, Dallas, or...
possibly Detroit...
Predators serious about Mason Raymond..
Raymond's agent did it right last year.. Mason is an example of a player signing a one year deal in the right place to shine, showing his value, and then hitting the market in a better way..The Preds are a VERY good bet as of now...
More to come..
