There are few rumours now and even fewer that have any merit because they just don't happen often. If you like trades there's only two times a year for you and that's the trade deadline and draft. Anything else and it's just rumours with little substance.

Eric Duha. told me at PuckTalks in September that the Flames were 'desperately' trying to trade Wideman all summer and may even buy him out at some point.
