The CPHL RUMOR GUY
Draft Pick

Default CPHL Rumors...



Good evening CPHL GM's, my name is Mr. CPHL Rumor Guy and I will be providing you with some of the rumors from around the league. I have been hearing many names floating around so let's get at it.

Avalanche News:
Word out of Colorado is that they are shopping Thomas Greiss for an upgrade. Wayne Simmonds' name keeps getting throw around but there are currently no solid offers on him.

Sharks News:
GM therizzle is making a splash with several trades lately and we hear there is a deal being hammered out with Minnesota for Dion Phaneuf. Heatley is rumors to be going the other way.

Canucks News:
GM Mango has gotten several offers lately on David Krecji. She is hesitant to move him but will not rule it out if the right deal comes along. We hear Philly, Oilers and Jackets are possible destinations.

Oilers News:
GM Cheese has been talking with several GM's about bringing in a real sniper. Alfredsson and Gionta are two names being thrown around but it expected Cheese will see how his team does in the first 5 games before he makes any decisions.

Jackets News:
Nittymaki has worn out his welcome in Columbus. He has not been shopped yet but expect his name to start circulating soon. Rene Bourque might also be headed out of town because GM Ravi has shown some major interest. He would like to add to his flames pool of players.

Flyers News:
We hear Tim Thomas will be out the door soon with a different #1 goalie coming back. Preds, Panthers and Blues are interested.

Panthers News:
Jaroslav Halak has gotten some major interest from several GM's. Philly is VERY interested and has been trying very hard to land him. We hear that if Philly can somehow obtain 20 5ths, Halak could be his!

Wild News:
Grant is contacted on a daily basis about several of his players. The most available right now is Wojtek Wolski so don't be surprised to see him traded for an upgrade very soon.

Devils News:
Taylor Hall could be on the move. We hear there are several teams who are interested. The most interested are the Penguins, they are at the top of the list. The potential deal would see Tyler Seguin and another top bluechip prospect headed back to NJ. Other potential destinations for Hall are Minny and Montreal.

Thrashers News:
The Thrashers are desperately trying to add some depth. There have been talks with several GM's but they always ask for Datsyuk who is NOT available. GM Neil is looking at 2nd tier guys like Thomas Holmstrom from Edmonton and Brendon Morrow from the Hawks.

This is all for now but I will post again when I get some more inside information.

Nitty at 77OV makes a great backup. We'll keep him. Ravi has asked about Bourque though but he is not the only one.

Love all the philly mentions.

-We have not inquired about Zajac but if he's available we shall.
-Thomas and Halak were discussed with more going to Florida but it fell apart due to the 5ths I dont have.
-Philly is on Hall sweepstakes too.

Panthers believe it or not are not in the market for 5th round picks.

However, there have been talks between the Florida teams in regards to some fogeys from Tampa making their way south.

I do like Phaneuf, but I already gave up my best offensive weapon, I can't give up Heatley now too.

First of all, love the idea whoever it is.

Just a few comments:

-Habs are not interested in Hall because he's an Oiler's prospect.
-We have thrown a few names around but would rather remain anonymous

Sure I have interest in Kopitar, just for the right price is all. I know I don't have interest in Thomas...does that help?

Nashville is interesting in a starting goaltender, and willing to pay the price to get one! Tim Thomas isn't that guy though.

Good read and I'm looking forward to more!

How's this for a rumor? The Kings have lost Shultz for 2 months and the 2 best AHL defensemen need to pass waivers so they are stuck with bringing up Marshall...very poor planning by this GM; and therefore are looking for a serviceable defenseman with only 1 year left on the contract, it doesn't matter if he is old as dirt either. The Kings can't offer to send a roster player in return but hope to work something out with picks/prospects. Hoping to get a D with at least 70DF.

So, any team with this kind of defenseman will be linked in trade rumors with the Kings.

Not surprised the Leafs didn't show up there, as there has been absolutely no talk in Toronto lately.
