Quick hits this morning as I do some major tweaks to The NHL Trade Rumor Chart (click here)
Bobby Ryan has been named "rookie of the month."


Nik Antropov to Boston continues to gain great amounts of momentum. I am still hearing other names involved as well, including even Montreal this morning. Antropov has been apparently adversely affected by trade rumors, so I hope for his sake this all goes down sooner than later.

The Rangers, who are now reportedly crying out for leadership, are looking quite seriously at Keith Tkachuk. This is an e4 today. It is important to remember what the e system means. The e-system refers to the closeness of a source to the players or team involves. That's it. It does NOT mean the deal is imminent in any way, shape, or form. It could be argued that it means the deal is more likely, but even that is not a given as e1's happen as well. It is just a matter of who hears what and who I talk to.

The Calgary Flames are playing well, and it looks like they are very much in the running for a Cup run and the addition of Doug Weight would surely help them. Weight brings a ton to the the table.

Bill Guerin is another name that I tweaked today as I did Jay Bo.

I am hearing more and more that Jay Bo may be the first choice of the Flyers. They are extremely interested and may be working out a plan to get him in as we speak. Although Bouwmeester is coveted by everyone a source has told me that the Flyers "have the exact tools to get a deal done that could enable the Panthers to still make a serious run at the playoffs despite trading Jay away."

More to come including the latest on Vinny.
