When will the trading and signing floodgates open . . . until then, let the speculation begin! Which big names are moving or re-signing with their old teams? Give us your best guesses, and by all means, fill us in with the hot local rumours we may not have heard about. Let us in on the draft day (June 25/26) trades that you think may happen.
The champion Hawks had Kane and Toews get $5 mil worth of bonuses putting them a further 5 million or so under the cap, with only 14 players signed . . . who is moving, and for what price?
Will Marleau re-sign, or try his luck elsewhere?
Are the Spezza rumblings real?
Who signs Kovalchuk, or does he go to the KHL?
Does a Kaberle deal finally happen, and do the Leafs get a first rounder for him?
Where do Oli Jokinen, Frolov, Kariya, Hamhuis sign?
Are Brad Boyes and Wojitek Wolski still available?
Give us your rumours! And when available, please provide a link if you feel it's a solid tip . . .

Sources inside the Sharks organization and outside of San Jose proper, all have said independently of one another that the Sharks are leaning heavily towards bringing goaltender Evgeni Nabokov back. Sharks President/CEO Greg Jamison said Thursday on Chronicle Live that the team was still in the planning and evaluation phase, conducting individual meetings with players and coaches to chart a course for the future.

The Leafs will make some sort of deal at the draft. I'm thinking that they will pick up someone from Chicago, most likely Bolland or Sharp since they are the ones Chicago will trade. Sharp, who will be paid 4.1, and the highest of the "tradeables (not including Hossa, Toews or Kane here, so tradeables would be Versteeg, Sharp, Bolland, and possibly, but highly unlikely, Byfuglien).
Kabby will get moved, I'm thinking it will be more of a picks/prospect sort of deal since Sharp satisfies our wing need. Although I would love another big winger with skill, so it is a possibility. I've heard rumours that Kulemin's rights may be packaged up with Kaberle to fetch a better return.
I'd like the Leafs to also get some better defensive forwards to man the worst PK unit in the league. That is a priority in my eyes, and there are plenty of guys available for this role through FA.
It will be interesting, that's for sure. |

Funny, I heard the exact opposite. In fact, I heard that San Jose was talking with Montreal for Price and that Nabokov will be let out to pasture. Washington and Philly were apparently the front runners for Nabokov.
Marleau is staying put.
Kovalchuk will be in Anahiem or Los Angeles.
Hamhuis is going to Vancouver.
Toronto will be a minor player as there really aren't any big pieces they need (Top 6/Centres) on the Market. There will be little movement at all at the draft as TO doesn't have much to work with.
Edmonton will continue to dump anything they can. Souray will be moved at the draft for peanuts, Moreau will go to a contender.
Vancouver will make a deal for more depth and skill on the back end. Kaberle for Burrows and a pick???? |

Funny, I've heard the opposite of you Beans. I've heard the Shaks do want him back, and barring any sort of trade wih another team, Nabby looks to be back in a Sharks uni this season.
Speaking of the Sharks, the Marleau situation is very much up in the air. The Sharks have the cap room to resign him next year, and they have something like 20 mil to satisfy 11 more roster spots. With Pavelski being the only other notable player up for contract renewl, I would assume Marleau stays as well.
Kovalchuk will go to Los Angelas, or stay in New Jersey. While the Ducks would have the cap room, I could not see Kovy passing up LA.
Hamhuis is officially gone from Nashville. He lives in Vancouver, so there is always that possibility. Or he wants to go play out-of pressure, which opens up other possibilities. We will see July 1st.
TO will aim to trade Kaberle, and pick up some other winger via trade. Burke has also said he will get a pick for either the first day or second day of the draft, so needless to say it will be full of action for the Leafs. I don't know about you Beans, but the Leafs look to be a major player. They look to be very busy come Draft Weekend. |

I agree with Beans about Nabakov, I think he's moving . . . the Sharks realise they can get better value for their buck, I think. Time and time again in the playoffs, Nabakov shows himself as competent, but unconvincing as a top goalie. I know the stats back him up in this regard, but if he leaves San Jose's great D, I think we will see the real Nabbie.
On the other hand, I think Marleau may choose to move . . . if not for more money, than for a top role as the top forward. Remember, they took away the C from Marleau after he did nothing but perform . . . players have a long memory for stuff like that.
I do see Toronto getting a big name, actually . . . if not Marleau (who I am guessing Burke would target hard), then maybe a guy like Boyes or a young guy like Wolski. And with Kaberle almost certainly trading away Kaberle after July 1st, I can't see how Toronto isn't in the thick of things here.
Beans, I would take Burrows and a second rounder for Kaberle . . . not sure if Burke would though. I think Vancouver would be a team that might target a guy like Kaberle, as opposed to Hamhuis . . . they need more offence from the back end.
Edmonton . . . now here is a team desperate for someone to come into town and get everyone excited again. I have to think that they make a strong play for a guy like Spezza, although the rumours here seem totally manufactured, they are plausible.

I dunno about all this Leaf's big movers talk. There isn't enough on this UFA market to chase too hard and they have very limited draft picks to deal with because of the move for Kessel.
However, I can see TO making a couple of changed and pushing for a lower seeded playoff spot. And next season's UFA crop looks much deeper and more promising, with the likes of Semin, B. Richards, Chara, Markov, Gagne, Bergeron, Connelly, Phillips, and M. Koivu to name just a few.
I'm telling ya, this year's UFA group is average at best and Burke knows that he only has one more season of average play before his 'plan' should kick in and the expectations met.
He will not blow his stack again unless it's brilliant. Outside of Marleau and Kovalchuk this season, nothing is brilliant.
I bet my Avatar that Nabokov is gone before the end of the day July 1st.
Any Takers?????? |

Hamhuis is quite underrated offensively, as he is a very good offensive forward. He is a notch under Kaberle, but is still very good, and has exceptional defensive play.
But slozo, you would take Burrows and a semi-late 2nd for Kaberle. Maybe it's just because I think Burrows is overrated since he played with the Sedin's to get most of his points in his "breakout" season (Anson Carter anyone?), or maybe it's because he appears to be a douche, but I would not want him on the Leafs.
We need a forward with size and skill, but I don't believe Burrows is as good without the Sedin's. His playoffs were rather weak too, and he played terribly. Not the type of player I wanna see don the Blue and White. |

Let's not forget that Kaberle is going into the final year of his nice $4.25 million/year contract. We all know that he is in the elite at what he does. He will be getting $5+ million next season. Because of that, his value is not nearly as high as it was at this time last year.
Burke would be lucky to get Burrows and a 2nd.
I don't get this playing with the Sedin's/Anson Carter comparison. Burrows went from 3 to 12 to 28 to 35 goals. There is no reason to think he is not good for 20-30 a season regardless of who he plays with. Granted, it doesn't hurt that he played with the Sedins and he is a complete d-bag, but the Leafs do not Top 6 type forwards and he is one that would fit the bill. A little sandpaper would make Burke happy.
Secondly, Anson Carter had seasons of 24 goals in 55 games and 22 goals in 59 games with Boston as well as seasons of 28 and 25 with Edmonton. What's this crap about Carter made by the Sedins??
Puh-lease.

When Anson Carter left Edmonton he scored a combined 16 goals in 4 injury shortened seasons. He goes to Vancouver, plays with the Sedin's, 81 GP, 33 goals. Leaves the team, 10 goals. It is no secret he was innefective in Columbus without the Sedin's, to combat that fact is ignorant. I feel the same thing would happen to Burrows. It is known that playing with the Sedin's inflates stats, as does playing with Ovechkin or Crosby, for example.
Also, Burrows has progressed with each passing year, but away from the Sedin's how good is he? In the playoffs, when it counts, he has not shown up, yet puts up about 20 PIM's per playoffs. putting him up near the top PIM leaders of the playoffs. I watched the Chicago - Vancouver series, and Burrows was not the type of player to make something happen. Often times he was invisible when the Sedin's couldn't fit him into their offense. His frustration is shown by his lack of discipline.
He would fit the bill, add that sandpaper the Leafs need in their top 6 units, but the fact that he is a douchebag, not to mention the fact that he is not as skilled as his stats suggest, is why I wouldn't want him. |

I need to look at this trade from the other side (as I am a Canucks fan). Why is Gillis trading Burrows, at all? Burrows represents amazing value - 25g/50pts per year (increased year over year over year), excellent PK, sandpaper, for 2M per year for 3 more years. Kaberle is a good defenceman at 4.25M for next year, but after that year he could walk without any comp, and will surely sign for more than that in his next contract. His skillset can be obtained on the open market as a UFA, without giving up Burrows and likely paying the same amount as Kaberle next year (Hamhuis comes to mind).
Gillis would have to be a fool to make that trade.

leafsfan, you obviously don't watch Burrows much. Granted, the Sedin's are going to inflate any player stats, but Burrows can hold his own. He actually didn't play much of the season with the Sedin's (Samuelsson played quite a bit, and on the PP), and mostly bumped around 2nd and 3rd line. He is one of the best PK forwards in the game today (I would argue him and Kesler are the best PK tandem in the league), and plays with an edge and grit that is desirable. Without the Sedin's, Burrows is probably good for 20 goals/40 pts per year, but at 2M/year that represents very good value given the other intangibles he brings to the game.
It was also revealed yesterday that he has been playing with a significant shoulder injury since the late season, and with surgery is likely out until November - which goes a long way to explaining his absence in the playoffs, and which many Vancouver fans suspected anyway. |

Let's keep it on topic please - trades and signings, I don't care about Anson Carter tangents!
Leafsfan 101 - about Hamhuis:
No, he is not underrated offensively, actually. Have you looked at his numbers? He's consistant, yes; durable so far, yes; but average offensively, from what I can see.
6 years in the NHL, with his 2nd year being his top year offensively: 7g, 31a, 38 pts. After that he has gotten 20 pts, 27, 26, 24 pts last year. He's known for being solid defensively, although I have to admit the stats don't reflect that as he has had a couple of -4s for the year during which Nashville has had good playoff teams. Still, like I said, he's young and durable and dependable.
Definitely a step below Kaberle, who admittedly is a different kind of defenceman, known for his excellent passing, good shot, pp QBing, and generally smart play while not being very physical.
Kaberle is almost guaranteed to get you 45 points, and on a good team should be a top ten, top 5 d-man offensively in the league with around 10 goals and 55 points or more.
That's quite literally twice the offence, and that is coupled with the fact that he doesn't really hurt you on defence either - he is not a gambler/risky player.
That's like gold in the NHL, people. Anyone telling you otherwise either has a hate on for the Leafs and is blinded by it, or just doesn't realise what the market is for guys like this. You can count Kaberle's peers on one, maybe two hands - and they all make a lot more than he does.

even though there are glaring holes in my habs line up, i don't feel there is much available in this years FA crop to imporve my habs, i mean obviously i would take Marleau but i'm not gonna pretend for a second he would want to sign in Montreal. I would make him an offer, let him know he would be our go to guy our big center playing the big PK and PP minutes and his guranteed winger would be Cammalleri. But i wouldn't lose sleep when he graciously turns Montreal down. Thomas Plekanec is set to be a UFA and despite having his best season this past year i WILL not pay him anything over 4 million a season,,, and i think he will see more money than that thrown at him. so in my mind he is also gone,, I reallly like Dominic Moore and would deffinetly be working hard to resign him in our checking role along with RFA Lapierre and keep Moen there aswell. Tom Pyatt proved to be a very hard worker and even capable of chipping in every now and again he has earned a spot on my opening day 4th line, There are some kids on the fram that can come up and fill in the rest of my bottom 6. Ryan White, David Deharnais , Mathieu Darche, Stewart among others come to mind, Glen Metropolite depending on how rerady the younger talentn is i would consider but with moore as a cente , Lapierre and Pyatt he is not a priority to re sign. Our d is all coming back except for Mara and MAB, both of which i am not at all interested in bringing back, Subban takes a spot in the top 4 and our 7th becomes Weaber for power play purposes, Goalies i'm re signing both and trying to keep them, but if this seems to be a problem (i.e neithe rwants to play a tandem again) i would consider moving one or the other because Cedrik Dejardins in the AHL is ready for NHL backup duties.
Now to the Big problem in montreal no offence and no size in our top six,, Both Kostsysn's have been dead to me for 3 years now they are useless and according to reports Cammalleri Gomez and Gionta went upstaires at the end of the year meetings together and said they don't want to play with either of them. So now the task is trying to get as much in return as possible for these two. a realistic offer i would make is Both Brothers to the Islanders for Trent Hunter and a second round pick, this gives us a potential 25 goal scorer who is big and loves to hit. Also a fairly good second rounder given the poor showings of the Islanders last season, Pouliot i am willing to give another shot he is a RFA and will come back cheap, I would also work hard on trying to sign Matthew Lombardi to replace Plekanec, makeing my top six look something like : Gomez Gionta Cammalleri Lombardi Hunter Pouliot, which is acceptable, i'd rather miss the playoffs this year than get locked into s***ty contracts with s***ty players,!!! Not to mention we have Ben Maxwell Brock Trottier Deharnais and Paciorrty as potential top six forwards in the minors so why fillt hese spots long term with over played players, so thats what i would do if incharge of the habs

"Take off, eh?" - Bob and Doug
Remember to that Hamhuis has been consistently used as a 2nd pairing defenseman and at the 2nd PP unit. With top line minutes and being used on the first line PP, Hamhuis could become a 40 pt scorer like he did before the arrival of Weber.
He is no Kaberle, but he moves the puck out of his zone pretty well. 40 pts is not a ridiculous number to expect Hamhuis to produce, while still continuing to be his regular stellar play defensively. |

Hamhuis getting 40 points . . . ridiculous, no; but very unlikely. What team would put him on the top pairing, btw?
Jumbo Joe . . . I was reading through your list and stopped dead at:
Iginla will waive his NTC
This is HUGE!!! (where'd you hear this?) His star power may be diminished, but he is still a top twenty forward at the very worst, top five at best . . . I wonder who might be looking at him, and I really wonder what he'd get in return.

this is true i think one thing is obvious he wants to contend, if iggy is leaving Calgary its because he feels hes got a better shot at the cup Elsewhere , lets face iggy will be in the 500 goal club and if he has a little longevity even the 600 goal club is possible we are talking about a futur Hall of Famer,, but he wants the cup thats the only way i see him leaving Calgary,, and even more interesting is what will a 33 year old iginla to a very resonable contract imo get in return,,,? at least one good roster player at least one good prospect and at least 1 first rounder

A lot of teams would put him in their top defensive pairing. I'm not saying that you can expect a plethora of goals from Hamhuis, but he is a solid passer and moves the puck well out of the neutral zone. I have seen Hamhuis very limitedly, to be honest, and I can only go by scouting reports and the odd YouTube video.
From what I can see/have heard, he can become a 40 point guy, especially on a more offensive team then Nashville (18th in the league in Goals For).
If Edler can get a 42 point season then it is not tough to believe that Hamhuis could be around the 30 to early 40's range. |

Jumbo Joe . . . I was reading through your list and stopped dead at:
Iginla will waive his NTC
This is HUGE!!! (where'd you hear this?) His star power may be diminished, but he is still a top twenty forward at the very worst, top five at best . . . I wonder who might be looking at him, and I really wonder what he'd get in return.

I remember hearing Martin St. Louis wanted out of Tampa.
By the way, Beans, kovalchuk to Anaheim possibly? Is this true? because that would be nuts.
Its not worth winning if you cant win big! |

I haven't heard any news at all about Kovalchuk to the Ducks Flying-V. I think Beans just meant that he thinks it would be a good fit. Besides their top line they are very weak, and their core depth is getting old, what with the likes of Koivu, Selanee, and Neidermeyer on their last legs.
I doubt Kovalchuk would want to go there gives their lack of depth, considering that their bottom two lines are extremely young and inconsistent.
As I said, watch Kovalchuuk to either stay in NJ or go to LA. |

The Iginla story is nearly 3 months old!! Iginla said in April that he would be willing to waive his NTC IF ownership approached him and asked him to.
This week, Flames Pres Ken King confirmed that Iginla is going no where. He is the face of the franchise and to many people the city.
King also confirmed that Dutter is not going anywhere either. I don't think that's good news for the Flames.
I can't find a single story that says anything about Nabokov being close to resigned. Rumor or not, nothing is being reported as such. |

What about...
Spezza or Marleau to Columbus?
The Blue Jackets are in need of (and, always have been) a number 1 Center to play along side Rick Nash.
Nash is a dominate player in the NHL. But, he has not eclipsed 80 Pts in the NHL yet. (79 in 78 games) is close, but still not over 80.
With a proven, talented Center, Nash could rip this league up I believe. And, Spezza is a playmaker (who can still notch 25-30 goals perhaps), with a guy like Nash.
Marleau, is a proven offensive player. He can both setup and score. Like Nash. The two may gel well together, playing whichever role is needed. Scoring or playmaking, as a tandem.
---
I have not read this as an official rumour. I'm just stating, the Blue Jackets need a talented Center. And, I believe they go after one.
They have the Cap Space needed for a guy like Marleau, if they are willing/able to spend it. And, with him and Nash, would have a legitamate #1 Line and PP Unit.

I think that a fan blog page for the team in question is far from reputable. How about a legitimate sports site (TSN, CBS, CBC, NHL, etc) or a legitimate newspaper??
Good Luck. |

I just went through an article on Yahoo sports on the top 50 unrestricted free agents . . . and I spotted someone that I had missed earlier:
Alex Tanguay.
For my Leafs, I think he would be a relatively cheap pick-up (he's had injuries last two years) with lots of upside. I think he still has a couple of seasons in him to get to the 20 goal, 50 point mark, and he provides strong tw-way play and a veteran presence. For his current price, if he doesn't work out, I don't think it would be a huge hit.
I can't imagine Tampa Bay would be in any kind of rush to re-sign him . . .

exactly what i had been thinking he is low risk and high reward not to mention he has always been a passer and a good one at that, give him a pure shooter like Kessel it could also revive his career he is only 29 i think should be entering his prime and he has put up point per game numbers in the past playing with a goal scorer

Although I did not hear this Montreal like, I did read that Tallon will be the most active GM in the next few months. The story is that other than a goalie prospect FLA has, Frolik, Booth, and Kulikov, every other FLA player is on the market. Of course, Weiss and Horton are the most attractive of the bunch.
Completely agree with Tanguay too. He still has some chops and would play nice on the wing opposite Kessel and he is not that far removed from 25 goal-80 point seasons for 6ish years.
He is definitely good for 20-50 if healthy. More than likely more than that. |

Good Luck.
Oftentimes these fan blogs get the story first, especially blogs on SBNation. They do get their stories from their respective newspapers, so I'm sure that the Sharks blog is a little more knowledgeable since they read the San Jose papers and we don't.
I wouln't be suprised to se Nabby stay, especially since the Halak trade. San Jose would be foolish to let Thomas Greiss start next season. |
