Tyler Bozak continues to draw some very big interest and for the first time I am hearing a team may venture a first round (lottery protected) pick. There are four teams to which to look: Nashville, Anaheim, Calgary, and Ottawa.
On Drouin...
Yesterday on the Podcast Kevin Allen stated that he still believes Drouin will get dealt by the deadline...I am not as sure...I have in fact increased the percentage that he stays as Lightning property through this season to 70%. Many teams are interested, however I continue to hear that two of the teams who have been commonly tied to Drouin are not interested...Nashville and Minnesota, per my sources, are not considering this player at this time.
On Sam Gagner...
Gagner made it back into the lineup for the Flyers last night and once again looked very impressive. I do know the Flyers would love to move him and they really should play him more if that is the case. The curious thing to me is how coach Hakstol doesn't appear to want Gagner in the lineup and yet last night, when he was available to Hakstol, he was used in many important situations....I keep hearing the Blues (e4), Sens, and Sharks..
On Keith Yandle...
It is looking more and more like Yandle will be moved at the deadline...Southern California is a good bet. The Kings LOVE Yandle and have tried like crazy to get him in the past...The Ducks could really use him...
We will discuss all of this and MUCH MUCH more on today's Friday Special RUMOR Podcast at 5pm ET
