HockeyBuzz: Chicago eyeing trade with Tampa

According to HockeyBuzz, the Chicago Blackhawks may be interested in acquiring left-wing Ruslan Fedotenko and centre Vaclav Prospal. The Lightning, however will not be making any kind of a deal unless they are getting something they can use now in return. Eklund reports the club is in the look-out for a defenseman. The Lightning need more help on the blueline than up-front but the club could still use help in almost every spot on the team.

Lukowich on the move?

Before the grand opening of our official website, I will update this site as much as possible and hope to start the year off fresh. The New Jersey Devils would like to activate defenceman Richard Matvichuk from the injured reserve, however in order to do so the Devils will need to make more room under the salary cap.

Around the Boards returns after a one week hiatus while I tried to get some schoolwork done. Finals are starting next week, so its that time of year when my brain is fried. On the docket tonight is the firing of Trent Yawney, a possible new home for Markus Naslund and the voting situation for the all-star game.

Report: Coyotes closing in on deal

First off, I’d like to appologise for the lack of updates by myself. I would also like to thank those that help keep this site updated on a daily basis. Moving on now,  according to a souce to the Phoenix Coyotes are close to making a trade for an undisclosed goaltender.

NHL Roundup: Hitchcock wearing a Blue Jacket?

Not much of a busy day in the National Hockey League world today but, as always, there’s something to report. Rumors continue to circulate around the league, which pretty much adds fuel to every day reports. New rumors, and of course the odd old one or two continue to pop up every now and then. As they always say, “There’s no stopping Internet Rumors”

Here’s the latest roundup of all things hockey. Will former Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock be wearing the “Blue Jacket” soon, or will Pat Quinn finally get a job this season? Is Forsberg on the move out of the city of brotherly love? And are the Bruins closing in on a big deal?

This and much more on Wednesdays NHL Roundup.

Huge deal in works?

According to sources, including Eklund, a huge trade is in the works between Tampa Bay and a “Western Canadian team”. From what I have gathered, the team is either the Edmonton Oilers or Calgary Flames, but I will lean towards the Oilers at the moment. Stay Tuned….

Flyers trades fell through

It looks like the Flyers are finding misfortune off the ice as much as they are on the ice.

Boston did not like the looks of the doctor’s report on Niittymaki’s hip, so they pulled out of the deal. What was the deal?

– Kapanen and Niittymaki for Sturm and Stuart

That deal would have been a great move by the Flyers.

But that isn’t the only downfall. If that deal were to be done, then the Flyers would have pulled off two more deals.

– Calder and something else to the Kings for Visnovsky.
– a package including Umberger going to San Jose for one of the Sharks goalies.

Needless to say, I think those would have been deals that would definitely help the Flyers.

If anything else comes out, I’ll be on it.
