Tom Gleason off the Market
Tom Gleason, the name used often in rumors has been taken of the market. He has signed a four year extension with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Rumors Galore!
Not a specific team but a bunch of rumors!
Montreal Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier has not decided if he will be a seller or a buyer come Febuary 27th. Lots of rumors saying he wants a player like Derek Roy.
Lots of interest in Tuomo Ruutu. Philly, Toronto, Detroit have all been linked to him. However, the apparent asking price is through the roof. Apparently, Canes GM Jim Rutherford wants either two first rounders or a first rounder and an 'A' prospect (example: Joe Colbourne and a first rounder). The price will go down.
The Winnipeg Jets will be sellers. Lots of calls for players like Chris Mason, Nik Antropov, and Evander Kane.
Aaron Portzline is reporting: Expect a roster move today by the Blue Jackets as they have 12 healthy forwards and 6 defenseman. Jeff Carter could be close.
There's word that Jeff Carter wants out of Columbus but there's lots of worries on his contract. 10 Years $5.27 Million Per. (capgeek.com)
