We are now under 50 days until the February 25th Trade Deadline so lets get right to it...
Kevin Hayes on the move?
There are few people more connected in NY than Larry Brooks...and even Larry is now saying he believes the Rangers are going to be out of the market for Kevin Hayes, who has had a strong season but will be a UFA in a market that will include other, stronger UFAs including Panarin and Stone, and they are also going to be in on Karlsson.... I have had Hayes on my Rumor Chart since its launch a month ago based on what I was hearing, but Brooks is much closer to this situation...Who am I hearing has interest? Keep an eye on Vegas, who I am told is going to be a BIG TIME buyer this year going into the playoffs...Also Winnipeg, St Louis...and possibly Carolina.
Phil Kessel to Vegas (e3)...
I would be really surprised, because Malkin really doesn't want Kessel to move, however...if the Penguins feel they can grab Stone as a rental this could happen...
Hitch has interest in bringing Duncan Keith to Edmonton...
This is an interesting one...The Oilers are sliding and Chiarelli and Hitch are looking to be aggressive and bring in some solid help on the back end...Keith is older, but could be the player who sells Hitch's system to the players while mentoring the young D. Edmonton is not going to sit idly by this year and just go into the night quietly...
Preds with interest in Hagelin...
I have written a lot about this recently, that Hagelin is the guy who could really add a few extra goals in the next few months...especially in the playoffs...The Preds ALWAYS like to make this kind of deal...
