from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
• While it’s a long way from being reality because there’s a negotiation for a CBA ahead, sources say several GMs have asked the NHL to consider a one-time amnesty clause in the next agreement to buy out one contract that wouldn’t have a cap hit….
• If the Rangers are going to deal for Columbus RW Rick Nash — and sources say GM New York Glen Sather is interested — it’s going to come with a big asking price. The word is the Blue Jackets may demand C Brandon Dubinsky, prospect C Chris Kreider from Boston College and a No. 1 pick. Kreider was New York’s No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL draft. The talk in Columbus is Nash may waive his no-movement clause to get a deal done.
• The Oilers were trying to move D Andy Sutton, but his agent, Pat Morris, was in Ottawa Saturday to see if he could get a one-year contract extension done with the Oilers.
• There’s a lot of pressure on Chicago coach Joel Quenneville to get the slumping Blackhawks turned around. GM Stan Bowman is trying to find a second-line centre and blueliner before the deadline. The word is Bowman is interested in Buffalo C Derek Roy. He’s not big, but Roy would bea nice fit with the ’Hawks.
