Trade Rumors and Free Agent TalkTrade rumors, transactions, and free agent talk. Rumors must contain the word RUMOR in post title. Proposals must contain the word PROPOSAL in post title.
EDIT: Though, as Mike Russo notes, if the Wild do the expected and re-sign Nick Palmieri they will already be at 50 contracts, and will need to move someone if they are to sign Mara to an NHL deal.
Ah, crap. I'm a Reign STH, and our team has just been decimated by callups... Of course, if you're a fan of the ECHL, you knew this would happen as soon as the deal was signed! It's probably happening all over the ECHL...
I saw pics of Samsonov practicing with some Oilers players. I know he played for Edmonton at one point but I'm not sure if this means an invite is coming.
Not an official invite or anything however, Kovalev has been skating at Rangers facility.
Aaron Portzline confirmed earlier that Columbus had reached an agreement to invite Kovlaev to their camp but wasn't sure the offer still stood. If he's already in North America, I'd imagine he'll get an invite somewhere.

My bad, it's just Samsonov skating with Jeff Petry only at a center in Michigan. I was looking through pics on Yahoo sports and there were other pictures of a few Oilers together (Smid, Belanger and Potter) but now it looks like Samsonov and Petry were at a separate location (possibly with some Detroit guys). I wrongly put them together.
Sergei Mozyakin of Metallurg should come over, he's at the top of KHL scoring with the rest of the NHL stars. Albeit he's playing with Malkin as far as I can tell, but in years prior he still had impressive numbers.
Huh. I'd heard through the grapevine that Vandermeer might get a shot here. He's apparently been working out with Bieksa and the boys at UBC through all this. WTF happened to Barker...man. Maybe we can get Daigle while we're at it...

He's one of the highest paid players in the KHL and I read somewhere he makes $6m a year AFTER taxes...

He was skating in NY with a few Ranger players a few weeks ago, so he's here.

Would be awesome to see him back. Dallas should sign he and Straka
On a side note, it feels really good to actually be posting about hockey decisions and not business ones.

Mozyakin has been near the top of RSL/KHL scoring for years, and has never shown the slightest interest in coming over. Seems very comfortable where he is.
David Poile said that he had 9 different agents call him yesterday with players looking for jobs\wanting tryouts, so I think you're going to see a lot of this type of thing.
