NHL Rumor Update: June 24th, 2011

Kris Versteeg Next Player Out Of Philly?
According to Sportsnet, the Flyers are not done trading and this time, they are shopping Kris Versteeg. There were rumors early yesterday that he was going to be moved to Calgary, that was proved untrue, but I believe they are still shopping him today.

Max Talbot Leaving Pittsburgh:
He turned down a 3-year contract, and it seems as though he wants to test the market. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a decent amount of interest in him on the open market.

Eric Brewer Re-signed With Tampa?
There are rumors going around that he has signed a 4-year contract that would pay him $4 million per year.

Marian Gaborik Heading to Ottawa?
The Rangers are desperate to move some money and Gaborik has been rumored to be on the block for a while. The Sens are supposedly very interested in him and they are in discussions for him.

Toronto Is Up To Something Huge
More than one source is reporting, that the Leafs are up to something and it will challenge yesterday's Flyers craziness for the big storyline of this draft weekend. Its interesting to say the least, and I would expect it to happen very, very soon.

Jackets Had A Deal On The Table This Morning
According to Aaron Portzline, the Blue Jackets had a deal on the table this morning for the 37th overall pick (2nd round) that was very close to getting done. Unfortunately it looks as though it fell apart.

Paul Statsny Getting Interest

According to Incarcerated Bob, Paul Statsny is receiving quite a bit of interest from a number of teams. The Leafs seem to be the most interested, but Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and the Islanders are all making big pushes for him.
