Quick Rumors Hits: Kiprusoff, Visnovsky, Crombeen, Iginla and the Bruins

From twitter unless noted otherwise

  • Mark Spector:  For those wondering about Miikka Kiprusoff to the Maple Leafs: Spector is told that the Leafs will be holding onto picks and prospects.
  • Andy Strickland: The Islanders have held preliminary talks with defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky.
  • Andy Strickland: The Lightning may want to address their enforcer role. B.J. Crombeen shouldn’t been fighting the heavy weights.
  • Josh Rimer: The Sharks aren’t done yet. They are wanting to see what other kind of offers they are presented with.
  • Dennis Bernstein: One NHL executive on Jarome Iginla: ‘#LAKings should definitely pursue but think he’ll wind up #Bruins because Horton & Lucic stopped scoring.’
  • Renaud Lavoie: The Penguins are still in the running for Jarome Iginla. Still four teams: Blackhawks, Kings, Bruins and Penguins. The Red Wings are not on Iginla’s list.
  • Nick Cotsonika: Cotsonika has a hard time seeing Iginla in Pittsburgh, unless he’ll take a reduction in his role. Same with pay if he gets an extension. He doesn’t really fit. The Kings and Bruins are the best fits for Iginla.
  • Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald: If the Flames were to deal Jarome Iginla to the Boston Bruins, they would certainly be interested in Malcolm Subban. Other players that they may be interested in are: forwards Alexander Khokhlachev and  Ryan Spooner, and defenseman Matt Bartkowski, Torey Krug and David Warsofsky.
