Ek's Note: I am doing more and more quick hit Facebook Live videos, deep diving into rumors and on today's topics, subscribe to HockeyBuzz on Facebook
so far I've updated: Duchene, Hamonic, Hanzel, Halak, Shattenkirk, Oduya, and Eaves on the Rumor Chart Update: 5:15pm..
Nyquist has been suspended 6 games...
On Patrick Eaves...
For the first time I am hearing the Leafs may be involved in bidding for a "rental" player. I know Lou Lamoriello has always liked Eaves and wanted to sign him long term before...
On Hamonic PLUS for Duchene...
The Islanders are now very focused on uniting Team Canada teammates Duchene and Tavares, but Hamonic would HAVE to be part of the deal...Montreal looks to be exploring alternatives to Duchene due to the expense...
On Shattenkirk...
The Bruins again are picking up the pace....The Leafs appear to be looking elsewhere...the Lightning are still in this dogfight.
On Montreal...
Don't think just because Montreal made the coaching change they won't be still looking to upgrade...Hanzal and Oduya are jus two possibilities..
