I am just in the midst of the fins touches on the rumor chart...
Here are a few tidbits as the rumor season really is opening up....finally!
*The Penguins are looking at Moulson, and Ryan, but now, as their scope continues to widen, I am hearing the name Olli Jokinen...and I am curious if this might not be the best fit for the Penguins. Jokinen has been the picture of inconsistency throughout his career, but the idea of putting all the talent along side the great talent in Pittsburgh...that is extremely intriguing.
*I keep hearing Evander Kane's name mentioned around and it truly does baffle the senses that he could be elsewhere in the next 45 days. Montreal appears to be at the forefront today...can't even tell you how many people I talk to mentioned this today, but it has been almost too many. This after I was told the Sabres were making a huge push last week. Vancouver would still be my bet...but all 29 other teams are definitely keeping tabs. If the Jets do this right they will get some very, very key components.
* Martin Erat will likely NOT be heading back to Nashville, but the coyotes are one of the few teams that appears to have made some progress in talks with Washington.
*Matt Moulson on the other hand, add him to the radar of the Predators...who I also hear are interested in Andrew Ladd.. Moulson also has interest from the LA Kings.
More to come, back to working on the Chart..
