A few quick hits
The Sharks are Circling...
On Ryan Clowe...
Told today that a deal is there to be made and that there are three teams...two of which are deep rivals in Montreal and Toronto...working on the third team..could be Pittsburgh...
On Douglas Murray...
I added Murray to
The Rumor Chart....Always one of my personal favorite players...I am hearing the Flyers and Senators have interest. The Flyers could team him with Nick Grossman and have the "two best Swedish defensemen who few realize are Swedish because of their incredibly non-Swedish names...
On Brian Campbell...
So perhaps the Sharks are cap clearing for a reason...Brian Campbell is the EXACTLY right player for these Sharks to be going after..As tough as Campbell's contract is the guy is one of the few pure transitional quarterbacks out there...
On Talbot...
In the "I have to report it because I heard it, but I can't imagine these teams dealing with one another" department I am hearing the Penguins have interest in re-acquiring Max Talbot...I know for fact the Pens hated losing him as a UFA...but still...the Flyers helping out the Penguins?
Introducing "Trade Rumblings"
It will be a rare topic but occasionally I hear what I would call "Trade Rumblings." The differentiator between "Rumor and Rumblings" is a Rumor is when a source I know tells me something he hears is being discussed...either between teams or internally as a team is working on it's long range plans... Rumblings are when a source asks me something like "Hey have you heard something going on between Buffalo and Philly? A bunch of guys in the press box where saying the Flyers had inquired about a deal for Miller and Vanek.."
I did have a guy I know in the Philly press box say just that, to which my response was..."If Regier and Homer were talking at all you can be sure the Sabres would have gotten more for TJ Brennan."
By the way.. Brennan for a 5th to Florida...I predict this as the first official "Epic Fail" of the 2013 Deadline. When a team coached by Kevin Dineen (now in Florida) calls you and wants to trade for a guy he knows REALLY well and trusted entirely in the AHL....you hold out for a little more than a 5th round pick. Look at all the money and playing time the Sabres farm system invested in TJ...The kid would be an immediate top four in Philly and would help any team on the power play. This trade was flat out insane...
But on to the ACTUAL "Trade Rumbling" I wanted to write about. There is suddenly rumbling out there that the Red Wings have interest in Cory Schneider and that Vancouver may be tempted at the draft to deal a goalie to the future EASTERN Conference Wings...
more to come.
