Re: NHL Trade Rumors / Olympic Roster Freeze.

With the upcoming 2010 Olympics, one sideline story is the Olympic Roster freeze that comes into effect on February 12th. It will be interesting to see if any NHL teams are able to make a trade prior to that deadline.



The Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes are the big news before this break. Will he get traded before or after this deadline? I'm not sure myself...

Pierre Lebrun of ESPN is suggesting that the Los Angeles Kings and the Boston Bruins are the front runners for the Kovalchuck sweepstakes.

It's hard to guess what type of price a Kovalchuk rental could command since his contract won't be extended prior to the trade...

Well, if you guys have any pre-Olympic roster freeze trade rumors, let's post them all here.

Re: Sheldon Souray Trade Rumors



Recently, Oilers defenseman, Sheldon Souray, released a list of teams that he would waive his no-trade-clause for on Hockey Night in Canada. It's speculated that the list of teams include the Annaheim Mighty Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Dallas Stars, and the San Jose Sharks. The reason being that his children live with his ex-wife in Los Angeles.


Sheldon Souray's ex-wife, Angelica Bridges:




Though Souray's list hasn't gone public, recently there's speculation that his former team, the New Jersey Devils, is also on the list. However, Spector had the following thoughts on a potential trade deal to New Jersey:

SPECTOR'S NOTE: Keep in mind that source "believes" Souray included the Devils, that's not an indication that he has. Regardless, it remains to be seen if Devils GM Lou Lamoriello would be keen to add Souray's $5.4 million per season cap hit, which I don't believe he would be.

There's no question that Souray hasn't had a great year since returning from his concussion injury. Earlier this season, he missed a number of games after Jarome Iginla took out an edge from his skates and he crashed into the boards.

Souray's getting older and has a massive salary cap hit, so it sounds likely that he'll be difficult to move prior to the March 3rd, NHL trade deadline let alone prior to the Olympic break.

He still has his 105+ mph slapshot which has broken plexiglass all over the league, but his defensive play and ability to find shooting lanes have both struggled this season.
