Gerber, Denis, Zetterberg, Hossa, Minnesota, Sundin, Raycroft, Friesen, and McLennan

Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray tells Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun that he is not shopping back-up goalie Martin Gerber, but would not be opposed to dealing him.

“I’m not active at right now. We’re going to camp with the two guys we have. Our goaltending is in good shape. If something happens in the goaltending, or any other area, I’m certainly open to discuss it. We’re fine where we are.”

If the Tampa Bay Lightning could have moved Marc Denis over the summer, they would have done so, according to Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersburg Times. However, there was no market for Denis and his $2.8 million salary cap hit.

According to Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe, the number one priority of the Detroit Red Wings is sign forward Henrik Zetterberg to a contract extension. Zetterberg has two more years on his current deal, and is likely to receive just under the $6.7 million Pavel Datsyuk is making per year.

Shinzawa also suggests that should the Atlanta Thrashers struggle to begin the season, the team may be looking to move pending unrestricted free agent forward Marian Hossa. Especially if Hossa is looking for a large contract. Shinzawa believes that a large number of GMs around the league would be lining up to acquire the Slovakian-born player.

Before settling for forward Petr Kalus and a fourth-round pick, the Minnesota Wild asked the Boston Bruins for forward David Krejci in exchange for goalie Manny Fernandez, according to Shinzawa. The Bruins had no desire to move Krejci.

While it’s very likely that forward Mats Sundin will finish the season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Damien Cox of the Toronto Star suggests that he could be moved at the trade deadline if the team is in danger of missing the playoffs.

Another Maple Leafs player that could be on his way out of Toronto is goalie Andrew Raycroft.

According to Jim Matheson of The Edmonton Journal, UFA forward Jeff Friesen is close to signing with Leksand of the Leksand Elite League, the same team goalie Eddie Belfour will be playing for this season.

Matheson also speculates that former Calgary Flames goalie Jamie McLennan could be back with the team if the Flames current back-up options don’t pan out. McLennan signed a deal with Magnitogorsk in the Russian Super League this off-season, but the Russian team let him go due to poor performance.
