Barrie to Vancouver trade was never as close as the insiders thought...
The moment Pierre Maguire weighed in on this rumour at the draft, I felt pretty confident it would not happen. It has been proven over and over now that Maguire is a blowhard with very little actual insider information.

Goalie carousel:
Sharks want move Dell. They may have tried to include him in a Marleau trade.
Mike Smith tied to Calgary (along with Talbot), Carolina, Edmonton
Oilers been linked to Mrazek and Varlamov (Varlamov's price is high)
Reimer talk has cooled
McElhinney is looking for a two year deal and may get it
Part of me is surprised to see the Oilers shopping on names like Mrazek and Varlamov, since these players will no doubt be well out of their price range. The situation really underscores just how terrible that Koskinen contract is. It hasn’t even kicked in yet, and the Oilers appear desperate to get out of it.

I am eager to see how this plays out.
