According to the Daily Times of Delaware County, the Philadelphia Flyers are rumored to be interested in Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Paul Ranger. Brochu's take: Hmmm. The Flyers still need to clear around $2 million in salary cap space to fit Daniel Briere back in. Not sure why they would need another defenseman. Source
It's nearing the NHL trade deadline, so it must be time for the annual Peter Forsberg sweepstakes. Forsberg said he's skating in his hometown of Ornskoldsvik this month to test his right foot and ankle before making any decision about another comeback. "Where I will play in that case is a later decision," he added. Brochu's take: The obvious answer is the Colorado Avalanche, but there's speculation that the New York Rangers are interested, having lost out on Mats Sundin. Source
According to XTRA Sports 910 in Phoenix, several Montreal Canadiens scouts were at the Phoenix Coyotes-Detroit Red Wings game, and it's rumoured that the Habs have interest in 'Yotes defenseman Keith Yandle.
The Edmonton Oilers have placed goalie Dany Sabourin on waivers. Brochu's take: Long Island bound?

NHL and hockey rumors for Sept 11, 2008
The Buffalo Sabres and forward Jason Pominville are negotiating a long-term contract extension. Both sides would like to have a deal done before training camp. Pominville is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season. Brochu's take: If he doesn't sign an extension, he could become trade bait if the Sabres are out of the playoff race. Source
Free agent forward Brendan Shanahan wants to return to the New York Rangers, but he remains unsigned. Both sides want to sign a deal, but it appears that Shanahan may be waiting for Mats Sundin's situation to settle itself before signing. Source
The Minnesota Wild and forward Marian Gaborik are set to begin re-negotiations on a long-term contract extension. The Wild are willing to pay $8.5 million per year on a five or seven year deal. Brochu's take: It's possible that Gaborik may decide to test the free agent market next season. He may also want to play for a more offensive minded team.
The Detroit Red Wings have signed defenseman Kyle Quincey to a two-year contract.
According to the Ottawa Sun, the Ottawa Senators have thrown their hat into the Mats Sundin sweepstakes. The Senators made a push to acquire Sundin at last year's trade deadline, but they were unsuccessful. Brochu's take: You know hockey season is about to start when Garrioch starts writing fluff articles... Source

NHL rumors for March 23, 2008
The latest from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
The Toronto Maple Leafs could possibly buy out forward Darcy Tucker's contract in the summer if Tucker continues to not waive his no trade clause. Tucker has 3 years and $9 million left on his contract, but if the Leafs bought him out it would only be a $1 million cap hit for 6 years.
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Andre Roy, who returned to the team after being sent home to "think", are rumored to be targeted by the Ottawa Senators in the off-season.
The Senators are believed to be negotiating with impending UFA Wade Redden. Apparently, the San Jose Sharks offered him a 3 year, $16.5 million contract extension if he had agreed to waive his no trade clause to got to San Jose.
Garrioch speculates that Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jaroslav Halak could get some offer sheets from around the league. Teams that could be in the mix include the Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers.
Garrioch continues that if the Boston Bruins miss the playoffs, they will surely trade Glen Murray. The unloading of Murray's contract could give the Bruins enough money to sign impending UFA Marian Hossa.
The Toronto Sun is reporting that the Detroit Red Wings are very happy with defenseman Brad Stuart and are negotiating a contract extension.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that defenseman Chris Chelios will likely be back next season.
The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that coach John Tortorella said defenseman Paul Ranger is "untouchable" this offseason.
