I hate ESPN too, just not as much as Hades himself, also known as Versus.

When the Kings go on the West Canadian Road trip, or anywhere in Canada, Fox Sports is unable to broadcast them.

http:// [h3]Earliest Lecavalier trade[/h3]
11:22AM ET
[h5]Vincent Lecavalier | Lightning[/h5]
Top Email
All the Vincent Lecavalier rumors have begun, but before we get to up in arms, the Sporting News,/a>' Lyle Richardson says a trade won't come until at least June.
We previously linked to an item that said Lecavalier might be a good fit next to the Kings' Anze Kopitar, according to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal. "The Kings could use a centre to complement Anze Kopitar, have the salary-cap room, and have lots of young pieces to move to the Lightning," Matheson writes. But today, it appears the Kings are looking to acquire Kovalchuk.
Meanwhile, CBC's Elliotte Friedman writes that a trade might happen in the offseason: "Don't think any trade would happen during the season. After this year is over, I'd expect there will be some kind of sitdown. If the same management group is in place, he would be willing to explore trade options."
Former NHL coach Pat Burns told Corus Sports he thinks Lecavalier will be traded this season. ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun wrote that three possible destinations for Lecavalier are Montreal, New York and Los Angeles.

http:// [h3]Rangers goalie scene might settle[/h3]
11:18AM ET
[h5]New York Rangers[/h5]
Top Email
The New York Rangers were rumored to be trading for a goalie soon, but it appears they might try to internally solve the problem.
Coach John Tortorella previously said he wouldn't play young prospect Chad Johnson, but now it appears Johnson might start tomorrow against the Islanders, the New York Daily News reports.
At first, it appeared the Rangers would trade for a goalie because the other option was AHL call-up Matt Zaba. But now it appears they might give their youngsters a chance behind Henrik Lundqvist.
Larry Brooks of the New York Post suggested that they sign former draft pick Dan Cloutier, who is now attempting a comeback.
In the trade market, the Islanders' Martin Biron will be available when Rick DiPietro is ready to play. With a $1.4 million cap hit, he'll be affordable and more importantly, he'll be a reliable veteran the Rangers can trust. But the demand for Biron might be high, given the small cap hit and the minimal commitment. (He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year.)
[h5]Puck Prospectus[/h5]
Wrong move, guys
http:// [h3]Star's wish list[/h3]
11:11AM ET
[h5]Dallas Stars[/h5]
Top Email
The Dallas Stars need a lot of things. The Dallas Morning News listed the needs GM Joe Nieuwendyk must address.
As far as the trade front, the Morning News lists two main needs: defensemen and a right-shooting forward.
With a young blueline, the Stars may looke to add experienced defensemen. That might cost them goalie Marty Turco, who is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year.
Also, all but one of their forwards shoot left, so a right-handed forward might be needed for some balance.
http:// [h3]Teams will have pay for Ward[/h3]
11:05AM ET
[h5]Aaron Ward | Hurricanes[/h5]
Top Email
Teams were waiting for the recently waived http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=1001Aaron Ward to go on re-entry waivers, which would've allowed them to pick him at at half price -- $1.25 million, which is half of $2.5 million.
But ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun reports that he won't go on re-entry waivers, so the Flyers will hope that some team picks him up and takes on all of his salary.
The Hurricanes are in the middle of dumping players and salary, but the process has yet to be jumpstarted.
http:// [h3]Flyers' trade chips[/h3]
10:54AM ET
[h5]Philadelphia Flyers[/h5]
Top Email
The Philadelphia Flyers may not give into temptations of trading for Habs goalie Jaroslav Halak, but they may have some guys they're willing to part with.
According to the Montreal Gazette, the Flyers might be willing to deal Simon Gagne or Danny Briere, but the Gazette points out that they have a history of injury and high salaries -- part of the reason a Halak swap may not work with them.
ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun reports that GM Paul Holmgren has been working the phones pretty hard the last few days.
One player who probably won't be dealt, however, is 21-year-old Claude Giroux.
http:// [h3]Kings looking for top defenseman[/h3]
10:52AM ET
[h5]Los Angeles Kings[/h5]
Top Email
The Los Angeles Kings are looking for a top-four blueliner, according to ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun. But a move for a highly touted player like that may not come until it is closer to the March 3 trade deadline.
At that point, they can see who is available to try to swing a deal.
LeBrun also believe the Kings will enter the bidding for Ilya Kovalchuk, if he goes on the market.
http:// [h3]Rangers desperate for top-six forward[/h3]
10:48AM ET
[h5]New York Rangers[/h5]
Top Email
ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun writes that for weeks now, the New York Rangers have been looking for a top-six forward to complement Marian Gaborik.
"On top of that, Gaborik doesn't have a bona fide No. 1 center to play with him," LeBrun writes."
As the Rangers tumble to the bottom of the standings, their search for a another scoring option is getting desperate. Last month, coach John Tortorella admitted his team's biggest weakness was secondary scoring behind Gaborik.
But with the Christmas freeze coming soon, the Rangers may not be pulling off a trade until 2010 -- and even then, top-six forwards don't fall out of stockings.
The Rangers were suitors for http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=284Peter Forsberg, before he decided to stay in Sweden. They also almost pulled off a trade with Phoenix for Peter Mueller, but they refused to give up Brandon Dubinsky or Ryan Callahan. There's also a rumor that links them to Vincent Lecavalier, but most analysts feel that trade -- if it were to happen -- wouldn't be pulled off until the offseason, when teams have more cap flexibility to deal with his massive contract.
[h5]Puck Prospectus[/h5]
Rangers, go grab a forward
http:// [h3]Halak moving soon[/h3]
10:33AM ET
[h5]Jaroslav Halak | Canadiens[/h5]
Top Email
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=3116Jaroslav Halak reportedly wants to play more, as he's stuck behind Carey Price in Montreal, so Habs GM Bob Gainey has agreed to try to trade him, TSN reports.
Halak was reportedly offered to the Philadelphia Flyers and Gainey asked for a top-six forward. Flyers GM Paul Holmgrem did not respond to the offer. Gainey downplayed his demands, saying that both Martin Biron and Cristobal Huet netted second-round picks, so he may be lowering his asking price.
RDS's Bob Hartley, a former NHL coach, writes that the Canadiens need some depth and Halak should be dealt soon, before more goalies start going on the market, such as the Thrashers' http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=2106Kari Lehtonen.
Another rumor is that the St. Louis Blues are interested, Cyberpresse reports. With Chris Mason and Ty Conklin, though, it doesn't seem it's an urgent matter. And as with every goalie rumor, the Detroit Red Wings might be looking this direction, too, but acquiring Halak might mess with the development of Jimmy Howard so the Wings might be favoring a short-term veteran stop-gap. Even so, scouts told Cyberpresse that teams are interested in Halak.
EDIT: Maybe it's this from LeBrun's blog:
http:// [h3][/h3]
[h3]Flyers now after Kovy[/h3]
11:22AM ET
[h5]Ilya Kovalchuk | Thrashers[/h5]
Top Email
It looks like teams are lining up to grab Ilya Kovalchuk in case he goes on the market.
The latest team lining up might be the Philadelphia Flyers. ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun writes that the Flyers would be interested, if the Thrashers and Kovalchuk can't agree on a deal.
Previously, we told you the Los Angeles Kings have reportedly inquired about Kovalchuk. The Flames are also reportedly interested in the young star, despite GM Mike Gillis' denials.
The Kings are reportedly willing to part with Dustin Brown, but it will take more to get Kovalchuk to Hollywood.
These rumors jive with what USA Today's Kevin Allen reported last week. He wrote, "If the Thrashers can't get a deal done, I'm aware of at least two Western Conference contenders who will make a strong pitch."
LeBrun said previously that trade talks might heat up in the next month or so. It is unclear whether Kovalchuk and the Thrashers are still trying to hammer out a deal for nine- or 10-years, rumored to be worth $9 million a year.
The KHL might also swoop in with a huge deal.
