Heres a great site for trade rumors. Click on trade rumors and free agent talk. I'm told the high lighted rumors in green are pretty much done deals.The site is just for hockey freaks to have their say.
I like it!

Here are our tradable players IMO. Dustin Penner, Justin Williams, Dustin Brown, Brad Richardson, and Trevor Lewis. I doubt DL would trade the lower salary players but they could also be part of a package.

Dustin Penner, Brad Richardson, Trevor Lewis, and Picks for Tuomu Ruutu and Jussi Jokinen.

My justification - We need wingers. They are both fantastic players with relatively acceptable salaries. Dustin Penner would benefit from a scenery change and his size alone is a great selling point. He is also in his final contract year. Brad Richardson has great speed and talent. He is, on many nights, a healthy scratch. He would add instant speed, talent, and grit to the Hurricanes. He is also very young and a relatively inexpensive contract. Same scenario with Trevor Lewis. The Canes would also receive picks.

Justin Williams and Dustin Brown for Bobby Ryan

My justification - These two, IMO, equal Bobby Ryan. Bob Murray has stated only Selanne and Koivu are safe. The Ducks are a gritty team and Dustin Brown would fit in greatly. Justin Williams would play well with the top end. Bobby Ryan playing with either Kopitar or Richards would instantly add offense. Kopitar has never had a proper winger with a talent to match his. The additions of these three would erase that.

I don't think the Canes or Ducks have any sacred players except Selanne, Koivu, and Staal. Just my opinion and I think these trades would help all three teams.
I don't think Bobby Ryan would ever be traded unless extreme measures had to be taken. Guy brings so much to the team, not to mention he's on the highlight reel almost every other night. At least I would never trade him, even for those two.

Also, 4 of the top 6 in the west are from the central division. Insane, this division is never that competitive.

Bob Murray has stated anyone is available except the aforementioned Finns. The Ducks are a joke this year. I never thought they were as good as everyone says they are but at the same time I never thought they were this bad. The goaltending is lacking, the defense is streaky, and aside from that ridiculously talented top line and solid second line, they aren't deep offensively. Everyone expected BB to come in and turn the team around. The team has gotten worse. I would personally never trade Bobby Ryan, Ryan Getzlaf, or Corey Perry. But the fact is, I wouldn't be shocked if any of them were gone come February. What the Ducks need is a solid goaltender and a couple 2nd, 3rd, and possibly 4th liners. That would turn things around. Jonas Hiller isn't the goalie he used to be. The teams spotty defense and his health issues can be attributed to that. BM needs to build from the back end out. Trading that top line is stupidity.

Go Kings Go!

The Detroit Chicago game is pretty fast paced right now.

Chicago is playing better overall, but this end to end action is awesome to watch!
