Could Dallas move Marty Turco? Yes, but they would have to find a good trade partner, and they would probably need a good goalie coming back so that they don't just give up on this season. Their targets appear to be Jaroslav Halak out of Montreal or Cory Schneider out of Vancouver, but the price for either is very high. The Stars probably could get Kari Lehtonen out of Atlanta right now, but he seems to be down on their depth chart, as they would like to study less injury-prone players first.

When contacted via e-mail to see if he had interest in buying the Dallas Stars, Mavericks owner and American Airlines Center partner Mark Cuban said: "I've talked to some folks about playing a small role in the purchase. Won't look into buying the team."

A candid Olli Jokinen suggests Dion Phaneuf may have been railroaded out of Calgary because of the loathing of disgruntled Flames supporters. Speaking just minutes after he had made his New York Rangers home debut on Thursday night, Jokinen strongly rejected the notion that Phaneuf was shipped to Toronto last Sunday because he was a cancer in the Flames dressing room. "The biggest thing is, (Phaneuf) wasn't accepted by the Calgary fans, even though he was once a Norris Trophy candidate," Jokinen said.

Oilers defenseman Sheldon Souray has the Rangers on a list of six teams he would accept a trade to, according to TSN.ca. Souray, who has a no-trade clause, also would be willing to go to the Capitals, Flyers, Kings, Ducks or Stars, Darren Dreger writes.

Ilya Kovalchuk's days in Atlanta are numbered. Kovalchuk was informed by Thrashers general manager Don Waddell after practice on Wednesday that he will be traded. Kovalchuk then phoned agent Jay Grossman, who later was told the same thing by Waddell. Teams most often mentioned as interested in Kovalchuk have been Los Angeles, Boston, New York, New Jersey, Calgary and Philadelphia.
