Good morning Hockeyworld!

Start here today, I will be adding to this blog with answers to some of your "what the Ek?" questions...but first rumor time...


On Hampus Lindholm....
Negotiations have fallen apart, and word is he is going to be moved. The Rangers and Bruins are in on him and would love to make it happen...Florida is possible if no Giroux trade happens...But Lingholm could also be moved to a non-playoff team who is looking to bring him in and extend him...The Red Wings, Flyers and Islanders are watching...

On Giordano...
It really sounds like a trade is imminent...and the Leafs are the leading candidate..I am told there are some serious reasons why Gio wants to go to Toronto..

On Giroux...
Florida and Colorado are both there, and both have felt at one point or another they had the right offer in for Claude Giroux.. It is up to Giroux where he goes..He won't go to Boston...that's true...There are reports that he is hesitant to go to NY....In the end, the Panthers probably need him more...but they don't have a first rounder to put in the trade...They do have some other pieces, but I get the impression that some of those pieces being rumored are NOT in this deal. Fletcher has to move him, and Sakic and Zito. know this...so this could go down to the wire...Someone will give up the final piece and get it done...And the Blues are hanging around..





On Conor Garland....

Hearing Boston has serious interest...He could be moved...

On Brock Boeser...


The Penguins REALLY want him. He would be dangerous in Pittsburgh,

On Fleury...

This appears tobe coming down to Colorado or Minnesota...or possibly Vegas (update sounds like Vegas is a no). The Wild and Avalanche are Rivals. Colorado cant add Giroux AND Fleury... The Wild I think are the team most likely to grab Fleury...

On Washington goalie situation...

They will be adding an insurance keeper...Korpisalo is the leading candidate...Could turn to Greiss or Anderson... Korpisalo could also head to Minnesota if Fleury doesn't..





more to come..
