With the All Star break in effect, general managers around the NHL have little to do other than talk on the phones. With that in mind, here are some of the latest rumours:
The Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers are discussing a trade for Martin Gelinas. The Canucks are reportedly offering Jan Bulis or Marc Chouinard. Gelinas is a UFA after this season and is an attractive option at the trade deadline because of his playoff experience. The Canucks really want him back in Vancouver and may throw a low level prospect to tempt the Panthers.
LA is on the verge of a massive firesale. With a young core of Anze Kopitar, Alexander Frolov and top prospect Jack Johnson, the Kings believe they can compete in the future. They are willing to trade some of their veteran assets to assemble more young players.
There have been reports that Peter Forsberg is headed to the Rangers. However, it is believed that Atlanta is bidding highly for him as well.
The Edmonton Oilers may try to snag Sandis Ozolinsh off re-entry waivers. The Rangers would accomodate that as they are trying to get rid of the troubled defenseman.
