Today's News/Rumors

1) The news of the day is that the Flyers have claimed goalie Michael Leighton off waivers from the Nashville Predators. There's been lot of speculation as to why the Flyers did this, other than that both of their current goalies are playing hurt.
2) We're hearing from some sources that there could be a deal in the works involving Robert Esche or Leighton. Several clubs have expressed interest. Anaheim was rumored to be the team that was going to claim Leighton in the first place. Perhaps the Flyers knew this and figured they'd swoop in and make life difficult for the Ducks and force them into a deal.
3) Also we're hearing LA has some interest as well for some reason. Colorado is another team, while an unsubstantiated rumour this morning had a Theodore and a pick going for Forsberg floating around. As we stated a few days ago as the deadline gets closer so will the number of trade rumours. Some like the Theodore rumor will be nutty.
4) Sometimes for us at FAUXRUMORS it's hard to sort out the crap from the real rumors, and at FAUXRUMORS we will always try our best to do that. That being said, we will relay all of what we hear, because anything can happen.
As always keep it here for the latest!
