* Hearing the Leafs have a strong interest in working out a deal/offer sheeting Ryan O'Reilly. From a source... "The Avalanche are very aggressively trying to lock up O'Reilly of course and would 99% match any offer sheet that Toronto puts their way, however there are some defensive options the Leafs could offer up in a trade.."
* Also hearing the Flames have made a trade offer to the Islanders for Josh Bailey...they aren't the only team interested..
* Derek Brassard has filed for arbitration...
* The Flyers are still talking to the Preds about a possible Lecavalier deal and according to one source have had discussions in the last 2 days with the Oilers about Braydon Coburn.
* The Sharks are once again talking to Carolina...Cam Ward for Patrick Marleau is still possible...
More later on this Saturday.
