Garrioch "rumors":
http://www.ottawasun.com/2017/02/04/...st-soon-enough
belief is Sharks, Kings, and Ducks are top 3 contenders for Shane Doan
Sharks have been desperately trying to get Doan for the last 4 deadlines
Coyotes are trying to sell Hanzal, Vrbata, White and Stone
Sources say Chayka isn't being realisitic with his asking prices
Sakic is asking for a high price (up to 5 elements) for Duchene because the Avs are in no hurry to make the trade
Will probably end up settling for a young defenceman, 1st round pick, and high end- prospect
Blues gave a team in the Eastern Conference permission to talk to Shattenkirk a few weeks ago but the deal fell through
At this point it makes sense for Shattenkirk to wait until July 1st as he will be the top defenceman available in free agency
Yzerman has a lot of irons in the fire.
best way for Yzerman to get a defenceman is to trade Bishop but belief is Tampa will need to take back a goalie for that to happen
Yzerman kicked tires on Duchene
