"My head's scratching, I can't believe they haven't got a deal done for him to stay in Florida at this point." That's what insider Kevin Weekes had to say about Panthers' icon Sergei Bobrovsky on TSN's Trade Centre Friday morning.  The 37-year-old netminding legend has two Vezina Trophies and has backboned the Panthers' two Stanley Cup runs, but he's a pending unrestricted free agent, and there appears to be no deal on an extension in sight. That means a stunning trade could be coming tod...

Significant Turn of Events for Mammoth & Nick Schmaltz

With five straight 20-goal seasons, Utah Mammoth top line center Nick Schmaltz is expected to be one of the top available unrestricted free agents this summer—IF he makes it there.  According to insider Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet , not only do the Mammoth not intend to trade their star pivot today, it doesn't sound like he'll make it to July 1 either: I am not expecting the Mammoth to trade  Nick Schmaltz .

Carolina Hurricanes Adding Jesperi Kotkaniemi In Trade Offers

The Carolina Hurricanes have been very active in trade discussions this week, and while they've been tied to landing a couple of big fish, one on defence, and one up front, it turns out they've been making trade offers which include disgruntled forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Elliotte Friedman: Not a coincidence Jesperi Kotkaniemi was back in the Carolina lineup on Wednesday night, but not convinced the Canucks will do it. (This would not be a Pettersson deal.) - Sportsnet (3/5) Kotkaniemi, 25, is...

Lightning Morning News: Curtis Douglas on waivers and trades around the league

Well, the Tampa Bay Lightning made their first move of the trade deadline. They placed Curtis Douglas on waivers with the intent to assign him to the Syracuse Crunch. It’s a move that some have been expecting for quite awhile, and perhaps the team felt that, with as many transactions flying around, it’s as good as time as any to try and slip the big man through. The move also opens up a roster spot and allows Douglas to participate in the AHL playoffs should he clear today at 2:00 PM. Aft...
