POTENTIAL TRADES: PLAYER BY POSITION BREAKDOWN

Last of 3 Positional Breakdowns..Goalers

Curtis Joseph
Interested teams: Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Florida, and LA.
Predicted Destination: Cujo may not go anywherw, but will go to Edmonton if he does move to be reunited with Lowe.

Vesa Toskola
Interested teams: Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, LA
Predicted Destination: Toskola will go to the Sens right after the freeze is lifted, could be the 1st trade.

Marty Biron
Interested teams: Vancouver, Ottawa and Edmonton
Predicted Destination: Edmonton will snag Biron if a Cujo deal cannot be worked out.

Andrew Raycroft
Interested teams: Edmonton, Vancouver and Colorado
Predicted Destination: Stays in Beantown.

Manny Fernandez or Dwayne Roloson
Interested teams: Vancouver, Colorado, Edmonton, Tampa, Colorado
Predicted Destination: Look for Fernandez to re-sign & Roloson to go toVancouver with Kuba to inject life into the Nucks who have tons of cap space after Ohlund/Salo/Jovo injuries.

Roberto Luongo
Interested teams: Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Rangers, Edmonton
Predicted Destination: Lots of talk about a 3-way deal, but its too complicated for a deadline deal. My sources say if Luongo moves it will be in the summer.


Other Rmours…

From the chattering sources behind the scenes I have spoken with, Edmonton will be the first out of the gate to make a trade.
Cbarnezz prediction: Sunday night, Monday morning the Oil will bring in Cujo as their new goalie.



McCabe will be traded with interest coming into to JFJ from a ton of sources. Teams calling include...Vancouver, Colorado, Rangers, and Carolina . McCabe will reject his latest offer of $5.3 M.
Cbarnezz prediction: McCabe will go to the Canes for 1 of Andrew Ladd, Jack Johnson, Tyson Strachen, Chad Larose or Nate Hagemo…possibly 2 players if a bidding war starts.



Lots of Ottawa chatter...
Muckler already had won the bidding war for Jokinen, but Hasek got injured. In a way this was a good thing for Sens fans cuz they were by most estimates going to overpay for Oli (the ask being Havlat or Fisher/Eaves + pick) When Hasek went down it nixed the deal in place...now look for Toskola or another goaler to join the Sens.

One source I have who I re-connected with recently after years is barking loudy about a deal he insists will happen. He thinks Roloson & Daigle will go to the Sens (this used to be a great source so keep an eye on this).
A lesser light Centre may still however be headed to Ottawa...talk is around 2 names...Mike Comrie or Mike York.
Cbarnezz prediction: Look for Mike York to go to the Sens despite a Comrie /Cujo package rumour.

  • It's Martin Biron, not Mathieu, he is a defenceman.

  • too bad Havlat cannot get traded and why would Daigle be a Senator again. I CALL BULLSHIT

  • Bullshit called & stomped on

    I did not say he would become a cSenator again, just his name was brought up in talks, as was Todd White's.

    Minnesota is unhappy with both players and are wanting to put them into a package.
