The Kings and the Salary Cap: The Kings have to get over the salary cap by the end of the summer. The Kings tried to make a splash in last year's free agent market and people are still trying to figure out what happened with the performance of Ladislav Nagy before his neck injury and Michael Handzus. The Kings are probably not going to make much of an effort to get over the cap with a free agent signing, given the slim pickings that are left but they still have to do a lot to make up the $13 million between their current commitment and the salary floor. Ergo trade rumours galore. Neither Khabibulin nor Gerber are the answer in nets, especially when they hope Bernier takes another run at the starting position in training camp this year. Any other trade would cost them some of the prospects that they are hoping to build around. I don't think Dean Lombardi likes the post-lockout definition of rebuilding.
J Bo: He'll be out of Florida by Groundhog Day. IE. The Panthers will not make a serious run for the playoffs.
Sundin to Vancouver? - I don't buy that scenario unless he has a deep yearning to be called Mats Sedin. Montreal is less travel and a better shot at the cup. The Habs are not only Canada's best shot at the cup but to be more accurate the best shot at a playoff spot.
