Kessel update: I am hearing this morning that the Penguins won't be in on Kessel unless the Leafs retain around $2M per year. That is something the Leafs so far want nothing to do with...
Anaheim and New Jersey are the leaders. Detroit looks to be looking elsewhere.
On Matt Beleskey...
Montreal, NJ, Calgary and Buffalo. Look for his rights to traded-- as early as this afternoon.
On Beauchemin....
Anaheim is trying to bring him back. But not if they land Green or Dion Phaneuf.
On Eric Fehr...
Maybe the most underrated player in the UFA field. Brings a ton of defense and stability with him. St. Louis is very interested.
On Andrej Sekera...
The Los Angeles Kings are having a tough time getting it done, and right now it looks like it may not get done. But those I talk to believe the Kings and Andrej could come to a deal sooner than later.
On Karri Ramo...
San Jose showing real interest....
more to come...MUCH more.
We will discuss this and more on today's Buzzcast at 1pm
