I will post all confirmed deals I see.

I've heard from a "reliable" source that Ivanans to the Hawks for John Madden will happen.

Buffalo News reported a rumor recently that Nathan Horton may be coming the Sabres way with Stafford and a 3rd as a potential package...only a rumor though so far

Thanks Andy


btw: This rumor makes very little sense, unless it's a pure Salary dump for next season. Ivanans is a guy that would not play at all for the Hawks with Skille and Bickell in waiting to get a full shot with the club. For the Kings, this would be highway robbery.

Especially since Madden is a GREAT defensive player and his contract is up after this year. They'll have Burish for the playoffs if they need an enforcer. No need to make this move.

Also, for those who don't know, Alex Auld has been claimed off re-entry waivers by the New York Rangers.

I can't see this deal happening now. Horton apparently is having issues with pain from the busted leg suffered in January. I can't see Darcy dealing for Horton now and taking a gamble on losing a roster player.

Now I can see a Horton for Derek Roy swap in the summer. Both guys have virtually the same contract and it would be a "change of scenery" type of a deal.

I thought he signed for 2 years, not 1... could be wrong.

good pickup for the Rangers, will only cost them 130k for the season... not exactly cap busting
