Rumours!
The bruins really like Jordan Leopold, who has yet to really perform up to expectations in Colorado.
The Flames and Leafs have interest in Columbus defenseman Klesla, but he's an injury hazzard and will likely not be moved until the off-season.
The Blue Jackets and Canucks both have interest in Tampa Bay's Prospal
The Sharks have discussed moving Jonathan Cheechoo, with Tampa Bay and Minnesota being possible destinations.
Despite denying trade rumours, Chris Pronger could still be dealt. Washington is really interested in him.
