Thats the big rumour this morning. Montreal and Colorado have had very serious talks over the past 48 hours, and something is brewing. Rob Blake was a scratch last night, which led many to believe he was on his way out of Colorado, however, he was injured, he was not a healthy scratch. Ribeiro and Souray are two others Montreal is trying to shop, while Hejduk would probably be at least one player going the other way.
Petr Sykora WAS a healthy scratch last night, and could be traded very soon. Several teams are interested in the forward, and it would not surprise me to see him end up in the Northeast. I have heard all five Northeastern teams are interested.
The Dallas Stars are apparently very interested in adding Thrasher Slava Kozlov. The Thrashers, who currently sit 7th in the East, are not planning on moving the winger unless they're offered something that could significantly upgrade their team.
Martin Biron is being looked at by both Colorado and Tampa Bay. Not sure who would go the other way, but Colorado has a lot more to offer than Tampa Bay.
Ottawa has stuggled a bit as of late, and have lost 1st in the conference for the first time this season. They also only have 3 points on Buffalo, and 8 points on Toronto in the Northeast. The Sens are looking to add a 2nd or 3rd line center.
Eklund reported this morning that the Flyers could bring over Mark Recchi at the trade deadline. That deadline, is only 5 weeks away. With the Olympic break taking up two of the those five weeks, it means the trade frenzy is not far away from beginning. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most exciting trade seasons the NHL has ever seen.
