Here are the latest rumors and buzz from around the league:
The Detroit Red Wings could be sellers:
UPDATE: The Red Wings have confirmed the trade: Red Wings acquire 2nd Rd draft pick in 2018 and a 3rd Rd draft pick in 2017 from the Rangers in exchange for D Brendan Smith.
UPDATE from TSN: DET/NYR working to finalize trade for Brendan Smith. Not officially done yet but hearing pair of picks, incl 2nd rder, would be included.
Reports last week say Red Wings general manager Ken Holland is looking to sell. TSN's Bob McKenzie reports that the Wings are "getting lots of calls on defenseman Brendan Smith," but are also looking at an extension.
Detroit resigned Smith in 2015 to a 2-year deal, and he will be a free agent after this season.
Toronto is rumored to be interested in Smith, along with Riley Sheahan. Calgary also rumored in the mix.
Darren Dreger reports that "3-4 teams" are looking at Sheahan, including the Maple Leafs.
Colorado looking to move Duchene:
The Avs are shopping Matt Duchene, but aren't opposed to holding off on trading him until after the season is over.
Sportsnet says: "They're telling everyone they're not changing what they want. Three or four pieces, depending on the age. A young defenseman or a goaltender. And they have told everybody, if they don't get what they want, they'll take it to the end of the season."
