Sunday rumours from the Ottawa Sun

These rumours are courtesy of Bruce Garrioch, hockey writer for the Ottawa Sun:

If the Toronto Maple Leafs are out of the playoffs by the trade deadline, it's possible that Mats Sundin might ask to be traded to a contender. It's believed that the Swedish contingent on the Detroit Red Wings have told Sundin that he would be more than welcome to join them.

There's a chance that Dale Hunter, the coach of the OHL London Knights, could be hired by the Washington Capitals at the end of the season. Garrioch is also speculating that GM George McPhee could be replaced by ex-Stars GM Doug Armstrong.

GM Jacques Martin of the Florida Panthers is looking for a defenseman and a winger. It's believed he is looking at Ottawa Senators forward Antoine Vermette.

GM Jay Feaster is looking to shop Marc Denis, but there haven't been any takers.

Are the LA Kings going to send Rob Blake to a contender before the trade deadline? Sources say he'll likely have the option and many believe if that's the case, there will be several teams calling GM Dean Lombardi.

There's a lot of "talk" that Cristobal Huet will not finish the season with the Montreal Canadiens. He is a UFA at the end of the year.
