- More then a few teams are talking to GM Olson about players they would like to acquire on their rosters. Olson is listening attentively to offers at the moment and a deal could be made soon.
- Defenseman Mattias Norstrom of the Atlanta Thrashers is said to be on the block. 4-5 teams would be reported to have interest in the defenseman.
- The Winnipeg Jets are looking for an upgrade in goal after trading away Kevin Weekes. GM Walsh would like to solidify his goaltending with a starter.
- The Philadelphia Flyers are still looking to get the right chemistry on lines up front as Johnathan Cheechoo has got off to a slow start. Noops is said to still be looking for younger defenseman to bolster his roster.
- A few GM's have been reported to be going after G Nikolai Khabibulin of the Devils. The Devils aren't keen on moving the goaltender but expect the buyers to offer up more and a potential Khabibulin deal could occur earlier rather then later.
