Caps To Sit Out Free Agent Frenzy?
"GM George McPhee will likely sit out today's Free Agent Frenzy, citing a current lack of true cap space to get into a bidding war.
McPhee is absolutely trying to move Nylander and Theodore's salaries, yet since there are no takers, McPhee will have to wait and be very cautious about who he offers a contract to.
Names that interest the Capitals are Afinigenov, Knuble, Zherdev, Antropov and Zanon.
Time will tell, yet from all accounts, it's going to be a quiet day in DC."

Vancouver Not Finished
Look for the Canucks to go hard after Hossa, Gaborik, or Cammalleri. Vancouver still has cap space with Sundin, Pyatt, and Ohlund coming off the books.

Kovalev expected back
"The Canadiens aren't done by any means, after trading for Scott Gomez. One would have to assume they're out of the runnings for the Sedin twins, though stranger things have happened. The focus is undoubtedly on retaining Mike Komisarek, and the Habs will likely have to match higher offers to keep him. Should they deem the price too high, they will shift their focus to Francois Beauchemin, or Mathias Ohlund.
Many suggest 5, or 5.5 is too high a price to pay for Komisarek, but if that\'s his market value don't be surprised if the Canadiens step up and pay it. It\'s overpay Komisarek, or overpay someone else who might not be worth as much to the Canadiens.
Alex Kovalev is expected to sign a contract with the Montreal Canadiens. No word on whether offers will be tendered to Alex Tanguay, or Saku Koivu."

"Should they desire, we intend to keep Montreal involved in the process as they have treated Mike so well during his time in the organization. He remains interested in resigning with them."
