Smyth To Edmonton; Is Calgary Looking for Another Winger?

Calgary- The Flames missed out on Ryan Smyth, who they were trying to grab off of L.A. It looks as though they could be going after a winger to play on the first line. Malkin may be a stretch, but there have been some Rumors he would head there around trade deadline. According to sources, Brooks Laich may be headed there July 1st.

Tampa- The Lightning have talked to both UFA Goalies, Mike Smith and Dwayne Roloson about contracts, but it looks like Smith will not be back. Roloson will likely be the Starter this season, with Dustin Tokarski or Cedrick Desjardins backing up. If Roloson is not signed, they may go after Cory Schneider.

Brad Richards- Nothing new on Richards, but he will more likely then no test the free agent waters.

Matt Gilroy- The Rangers did not offer Gilroy a qualifying deal, so he will become a UFA. Sounds like Minnesota and Calgary are interested.

James Wisnewski- As much as Montreal wants to keep Wisnewski, he will likely sign elsewhere. The Ducks seem to want him back, along with Red Wings, Blue Jackets and Rangers.

Tomas Vokoun- There is a good chance he signs with the Colorado Avalanche. He can sign for a huge price, as the Avalanche are $21M below the salary cap. That sounds pretty good for any NHLer. At one point it seemed as though Montreal had interest, but with Carey Price, it is highly unlikely.

Semeyon Varlamov- As I reported a month ago via Twitter, Varlamov will not return to the Capitals. Some suggest he goes to the KHL, but is still a young, talented goalie who can perform. Not much interest yet.

Mike Komisarek- With many teams below the Cap minimum, Komisarek will likely be in play. For teams needing salary, Komisarek can be a good pickup, and at times, a reliable Defenceman. Avalanche ARE interested.

Jamoir Jagr- The Penguins may be out of the Jagr Race. They have to sign Tyler Kennedy, and there is better talent out there then Jagr. Habs and Wings still leading.

Marian Gaborik- The Ottawa Senators are in a rebuilding stage, and want Gaborik apart of it. Only problem is how much is he worth? With Jason Spezza trade Rumors, it can be a one for one deal, but in an ideal situation, the Senators want both together.
