It's Rumour Night in America: 10 BIG RUMOURS TO CHEW ON

#1. Brian Burke is bringing Sundin with him to Toronto.
This one makes a ton of sense. Burke and Mats are friends and have a great deal of respect for one another, Mats wants to be a Life-long Leaf.

#2. The Devils are closing in on a deal for Khabibulin.
It does appear that this is the case. There is little doubt that the Devils will let this go much further. Look for Cam Barker to be included going to the Devils.

#3. The Caps and Canucks are closing in on a Nylander deal.
The Canucks have had interest in Nylander for quite some time. Nylander was a healthy scratch last night and is also rumoured to be heading to Chicago.

#4. Forsberg is strongly considering Chicago and Ottawa.
The unrest and inconsistency in Colorado may have Foppa (who recently had a surgery "tweak" to his foot) looking elsewhere.

#5. The Rangers could still move Gomez to Vancouver or Calgary to make room for Sundin.
More then a few "other" team people who were in on the Sundin sweeps told me they believed that Gomez was the player the Rangers were ready to trade.

#6. Nik Antropov will be traded in the next two weeks to the Minnesota Wild as a piece of a deal that could bring Gaborik to Toronto.
This is all the buzz today among certain players close to each camp.

#7 The San Jose Sharks and the Dallas Stars are both interested in the Devils John Madden.
Makes sense. He is a tough player to play against and in the Sharks case could be the difference in the epic Detroit playoff series to come.

#8 The Senators may move Vermette to get Greg deVries (a former Sen) out of Nashville.
This could be a good trade for both sides on quite a few levels. I would think the Preds would have to sweeten the pot a bit.

#9 The Edmonton Oilers are trying to move Dwayne Roloson to the Islanders.
I could see this as well. The Isles really do need an NHL goalie in DiPietro's absence.

#10 Alexandre Radulov is campaigning to return to the NHL and to be moved to the Capitals. As is Afingoenov.
Would Poile care to help Rads out with his request after all that went down?

More to come.
