With the NHL Draft coming up on June 27 and free agency opening on July 1, discussions between NHL general managers are already heating up towards a busy off-season. Marcus Gilbert Jersey . Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Plenty Of Interest in No. 1 According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, at least eight teams have shown interest in acquiring the first pick overall pick from the Florida Panthers. The list of teams includes the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs. Dreger also reports the Panthers plan on naming their new head coach by Monday at the latest. Also on the coaching front, some believe Willie Desjardins may have a choice between head coaching jobs in Pittsburgh and Vancouver but no final decisions have been made yet. Pivotal Times In Vancouver Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province writes that Ryan Keslers trade value appears to be more appealing for a team like the Anaheim Ducks than that of Jason Spezza. Not only does Kesler have two years left at $5 million a season and Spezza one year at $4 million, the Ducks will need the grit and defensive game that Kesler would bring to the tough Pacific Division. Kuzma adds that Kesler also led the Canucks with 25 goals, while Spezza had 23 goals in a "softer conference." Kuzma also writes that if the Senators are asking for a top-six forward, a top prospect and a first-round pick for Spezza, then Canucks GM Jim Benning can at least ask that much for Kesler. He thens writes that the St. Louis Blues may interest Spezza because they would need help on their power play (worst during the postseason) and have assets that would interest the Senators. Kuzma adds that the Canucks wont get a Kesler-comparable in return in any trade scenario, but Benning could get a first-round pick and can offer up a centre and young wingers to help rebuild the Canucks. And if that happens before the draft, Kuzma specualtes that Vancouvers sixth overall pick can be in play to acquire Floridas first overall pick. Thats News To Tallon Miami Herald writer George Richards tweeted that Panthers GM Dale Tallon is refuting a report that defenceman Brian Campbell has asked for a trade. St. Louiss Big 550 KTRS host and CBS Sports Radio St. Louis contributor Andy Strickland reported Wednesday that Campbell - who still has two years left on his contract that pays him over $7 million a season - wants out of Florida. Done In Detroit Detroit Wings general manager Ken Holland confirmed to The Macomb Daily that veteran forwards Todd Bertuzzi and Mikael Samuelsson wont be returning next season. He added to the paper that as far as the rest of the unrestricted players go, the team will take a wait-and-see approach. "The other guys Im not sure," Holland told The Daily. "I basically told the other agents were not doing anything right now. Under the CBA on June 27, which is next Wednesday, we can start talking to potential unrestricted free agents.

Columbus, which hasnt defeated the Bruins since Jan. 21, 2010, lost a 4-3 shootout decision against visiting Boston on Nov. 21. It was the Blue Jackets fourth straight home loss in this matchup. Boston went 2-0 on its recent homestand and completed the perfect stay at TD Garden with Tuesdays 5-3 win over Nashville. Brad Marchand and Loui Eriksson each scored twice to lead the Bruins offense, while Tuukka Rask made 22 saves for the win. David Krejci also lit the lamp for the Bruins, who avenged a 3-2 shootout loss in Nashville on Dec. 16.

The Bs are just 7-8-1 on the road. Rask boasts a 4-1-0 record and 1.56 goals against average in his career against Columbus and is expected to start again tonight.

Columbus entered Tuesdays game against Nashville with an 8-0-1 record in December, but the hosts fell 5-1 to the Predators. It was the Jackets second loss in three games after beginning the month with seven straight victories. Jackets netminder Sergei Bobrovsky was blitzed for four goals on 30 shots before being pulled in the third period. Curtis McElhinney stopped four of the five shots he faced in the games final 12 minutes. Alexander Wennberg produced a late tally for the Blue Jackets, who fell to 7-9-2 as the home team. Were disappointed because we hung our goalie out to dry, Jackets winger Nick Foligno said. We let them dictate play. If you allow them to take over games, youll be playing catch-up. Thats what happened. Backup Curtis McElhinney is expected to start tonight over Bobrovsky. He is 0-2-0 with a 3.04 GAA in two career outings against the Bruins. There is also a chance winger Scott Hartnell could return from a broken finger tonight. Hartnell, who missed the last five games, skated a few times last week and is questionable for Saturday. The veteran forward has six goals and 11 assists in 28 games during his first season with the Jackets. Columbus will complete its homestand Wednesday against Minnesota before beginning January on a four-game road trip.
