Word is that the Toronto Maple Leafs are very interested in acquiring a veteran Western Conference netminder. The Leafs, who haven't had a goalie last a full season as their number one since the 2007 season, are most likely considering Calgary Flames workhorse Mikka Kiprusoff.
Kiprusoff usually plays around 70 games for a non-contending Calgary team. The Flames are currently in a "rebuild", although they are trying to hang on to their valuable veterans instead of trading them for younger pieces. Their current goal is to win a Stanley Cup with Jerome Iginla, their 500 career goal-scoring captain. There have been rumors that they might trade him so that he can win a Cup, but no progress has been made on that yet. If the Flames are to trade Kiprusoff to the Leafs, they would most likely want to get young prospects in return.

Apology
I would like to apologize for the lengthy periods of time between some of the posts. It is because I have been doing a lot of traveling lately. That aside, I am going to work on getting an advertisement in The Hockey News magazine for sometime during the regular season.
Shane Doan Down to Six Teams (Including Phoenix)
According to an inside source, UFA forward Shane Doan has narrowed his list of teams down to six. Doan, who has been with the Phoenix Coyotes organization for his entire career, and is currently their captain, has stated and constantly reiterated that his number-one choice would be to stay in Glendale (where the Coyotes play), but he wants to see stability in what has been the worst ownership league-wide for a very long time before he signs with them or not. Aside from Phoenix, Doan has these five teams on his list:
Doan is 35 years old, and is looking to go to a team that is a contender. Word is that he wants a 4-year deal, but most teams would prefer to give him 2-years. Whatever team Doan goes to, that team would be an all-star forward closer to winning the Stanley Cup.
- Boston Bruins
- New Jersey Devils
- New York Rangers
- Pittsburgh Penguins
- Vancouver Canucks
