Also of note this morning is that the Marty St. Louis talk is heating up. According to all three of the big TSN insiders, the New York Rangers are trying different looks in an attempt to get this deal done. The price, as you would expect, is high. Darren Dreger had perhaps the most interesting piece of news on the file; he suggests that Marty St. Louis is expected to push for a deal to New York today.

Also hearing St Louis is expected to encourage the trade to NYR today. Not sure if that impacts Yzerman's decision.

I'll leave it at that for now. This should serve as a good starting point for discussion today. Should breaking news come down, I'll be here to update it right away.

As always, thanks for reading.
