Your 2010 UFA/RFA Rumor Chart Update

I have been holding off on reporting this one....obviously I have been insinuating it...

It was first told to me as a speculative/theory about two weeks ago...but now I am hearing it from others as well..If nothing else it is interesting to say the least.

Here is the scenario as it is rumored...ONLY a rumor...Personally, I would be as shocked as anyone if Marty were to EVER be moved from NJ...but I report rumors...and here they are..

1. The Devils want to keep Kovalchuk.
2. Martin Brodeur is not a given to keep playing much longer, and will be hired the second he retires to work in the Devils front office.
3. Kovalchuk would consider staying if the Devils would go out and get Semin to play with him.
4. Brodeur would agree to play one (possibly 2) years in Washington. Firming up their goaltending situation and making the Caps the HUGE favorite to win a Stanley Cup. Then he could return to work for the Devils, who would be in a much better situation.
5. Semin is a great player, but the Caps are not opposed to moving him for Brodeur. Interestingly, the Caps signed him to a very short deal.

So there it is. I am working on another update this afternoon on the Leafs and Hawks...
