First, the Red Wings have put Matt Ellis on waivers....
But the big news: Simon Gagner is out of the rest of the season. This is huge news, and the Flyers must replace him. Early indications are that the Flyers are prepared to jump into the Sundin and Hossa races. Tanguay and Nagy are also on the Flyers' radar.
The Flyers were throwing around Jeff Carter's name a lot this week in Naples, and I would expect we will only hear his name more now that Gagner is out. Philly joins an already large group (Detroit, Anaheim, San Jose, Calgary, Vancouver, Boston, Montreal, Dallas, and Minnesota) who are looking to add a big offensive forward. While many GMs are saying the offers are not where they want them to be just yet, you can expect them to increase to much higher levels before we get to Tuesday...
Stay Tuned...
