Could Blues go after Kovalchuk? Coyotes still trying to get a deal done with Michalek
  • Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It may take a trade for the Atlanta Thrashers to find their ’15 plus goal scorer’ instead of through free agency. The Thrashers have 10 UFAs, they made offers to 9 of them, all but Slava Kozlov. They continue to negotiate with Pavel Kubina but the sides remain apart.
  • Darren Dreger via Twitter: Dreger thinks the Rangers may go after Marty Biron. (Signed with the Rangers, 2 years at about $875,000 per season)
