high interest and high price for Duchene
no firm offers on table right now
asking price 3 or 4 high end pieces
if it is 3 pieces, the main pieces must be a establsihed young player 20-24 years old plus 1st round pick plus top prospect
if the player isn't established it must be 4 high end pieces including the player
Canadiens are all in
Hanzal is a perfect fit for Montreal, but Bergevin still has to do some heavy lifting for that trade to happen
10 teams have made serious inquiries on Hanzal and the Coyotes are whittling that list down
several teams including the Bruins and Rangers have made inquiries into Shattenkrik
there is a possibility that it is a sign and trade for Shattenkirk so the Blues receive more in return but no team has made that offer yet
every single call on Shattenkirk is for rental only
Shattenkirk is expected to ask for a 7 or 8 year deal in $7mil + /year
some teams have him ranked as a 3rd pairing d-man who is a PP specalist
Avs are flush with rental players
lots of conversations on Bourque, Mitchell, Martinson amongst other
Rene Boruque is in high demand as a rental, but may have suffered an injury last night
teams are calling and Sens are listening to offers on Lazar, but aren't ready to give up on him yet
asking price is extremely high
LeBrun believes Hitchcock might coach again ONLY IF he feels comfortable with and trusts the GM
