TSN trade rumors

Did you see the breaking news article on there??? They are saying that Stamkos could be on the move. They say that the Lightning aren't shopping him per se, but rather that if the right deal came along, they would be willing to move him. And they also say that two teams have asked about his availability... They say there is a whole article in the New York Daily News written by Larry Brooks on the subject.

Yes, and I posted the links to these articles in the new thread I just started "NHL: Too Much Monkey Business?"

Lightning deny Oilers rumour

SPORTSNET.CA --

Tampa Bay Lighting general manager Brian Lawton is denying talk that Vincent Lecavalier is going to be dealt Monday to the Edmonton Oilers for a large package of players and draft picks.

According to a report Sunday by Sun Media’s Bruce Garrioch, the rumoured deal would have sent Lecavalier to Edmonton for three players, two prospects, two No. 1 picks and a third-rounder.

However, Lawton denies there was any deal on the table.

"It's just a pipe dream that people think we're going to trade him," Lawton told Sun Media..

"We're excited about the way our team is playing and I don't think it's fair to continue to talk about these things. I've said he's not going to be traded and he hasn't been traded. Somebody just asked me if he's going to be traded on Monday? No, he won't. Not Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or any other day for that matter ... He loves Tampa Bay and that's why he made the commitment he did (signing an 11-year, $85-million contract extension)."

I think these offers are way too much for VL.

On the Gerber front, there's a rumor Calgary has interest in the veteran goalie, but wish to send back similar salary, which Ottawa has little interest in doing. The rumored deal would send oft and currently injured D Rhett Wharrener to the Sens, whom was described by the analysts as a "Murray player".

Both Keenan and Sutter denied they had any interest in Gerber.

When did he become a "Murray player"?
Isn't he slow and relatively ineffective?

All that's left is for him to be from Ottawa.
