Zherdev, unsubstantiated rumors, and Olympic camp

So Nikolai Zherdev is on the market. Apparently 3.9 million dollars is too much for 60 points a season... these are the same people who set up Scott Gomez's contract right? Seeing as he's 6'2 however, I doubt Gainey would be interested even if we could afford him.

Apparently there's a three way trade being set up with San Jose, ignoring the fact we cant fit any player that would be useful to us under the cap and don't have a lot to offer, of course.

Aside from the fact that there are plenty of aging UFAs available (including a large swedish man that thankfully no one is talking about right now), the main news seems to stem largely on the olympics, with many embracing the potential of Crosby and Nash working together. I'm curious if Stills and Young will be working the blue line. Beyond that everyone who isn't Canadian is hoping Cam Ward gets the nod for Canada.
