KHL and Russia bound??

The following players may be choosing to head to the KHL for new opportunities or finish their careers back home.

Alex Kovalev
Sergie Zubov
Nikolia Khabibulin
Robert Lang


L.A will quietly land one of the big names out there, they have cap space to maybe even land a pair of them.

BTW has anyone forgotten about Chris Neil. With Heatley taking all the press in Ottawa will Neil be forgotten, and end up elsewhere.

Stay tuned for part 2 of rumours of more UFA's.

Kaberle Colorado bound????

Yes he could be, but he won't be alone. Burke may want to bring fan fave Darcy Tucker back. So would Kaberle and Stajan be on the move to the Avs for John Michael Liles and Darcy "Mother" Tucker.

Hey Brian Murray, you got three more days to get Heatley a new home, or it'll cost you.

Rumour(or not) has it Jay-Bo won't sign in Calgary unless its going to be more then Phaneuf. If this happens a deal may already be in the works for him to go to Vancouver if it can get pulled off. If not it won't stop the Canucks from signing him on the 1st.

Go Sens!!!!

Busy afternoon in Montreal.

Talks are heating up, but everyone is unsure whether they're making the right moves. Does anyone want Kaberle? Heatley still a Senator but another player may be on the move. No not Spezza, but Chris Neil might be. He's apparently being used to sweeten a deal to move up in the draft.

How about the Islanders, who are they picking or not picking. A very unreliable source mentioned they might swap the 1st pick to Colorado for their 3rd overall pick and a top roster player. Because they've decided to take their chance on Duchene. Whats up with dat????

Florida wants to shakes thingsup but they have no GM, so they don't know how they want to hanldle trading Bouwmeester, if they even decide to. Word is they'd orefer to move Vokoun first.
More to come as soon as my creative ass thinks of somehting.

Draft is nearing, and my rumours are growing.

First Burke is busy taking calls and making calls. Names are beginning to surface. The following are being link to deals.
Kaberle, Pogge, Gerber and Stajan.
What about Tucker will he be returning to become the captain. I imagine there are several people out there with un-usable Tucker jersey's hanging on their walls. I'm sure they'd love to take them down and get another chance to wear them.

Chelios still wants to play. But where will it be. Could we see him on the west coast since he spends quite a bit of time in L.A. in the summer. Plus my story on Heatley landng in Boston could happen. A rivalry could erupt from it too. Kessell and Bergeron are names being mentioned in the deal, but is Bergeron still concussion prone. So a draft pick may get thrown in.

Now remember people these are only rumours, they're not to be taken seriously.

Hossa has a list of teams too!!! Heatley

Hossa wants to follow Heatley's lead and is going to list teams he wants to go to. At the moment he apparently has four so far. Here they in order of importance. He only wants to play for a team he will be comfortable with.

1. Detroit...they still might have a chance
2. Pittsburgh....of course.....they are the Stanley Cup champs.
3. Boston...Chara?
4. Ottawa....he misses Alfredsson
