Nabokov is UFA. As for circumstances on Luongo, almost goes without saying it would mean VAN taking Rick DiPietro for compliance buyout.

It's believed NYI would, under right circumstances, have interest in VAN G Roberto Luongo, tho 1st order of biz is to gauge cost on Nabokov.

No question in my mind Luongo is a good "hockey" fit for NYI but whether Isles or Canucks could ever finesse a workable deal is the issue.

DiPietro's buyout is steep, $1.5M per year for next 16 years, not to be confused with Luongo's buyout #s: a shade over $1.5M x 18 years.

Count EDM and TB as two teams in market to bolster their coaching staffs with a veteran presence to assist Krueger and Cooper respectively.

Paul Maurice reportedly interviewed with Oilers this week and former VAN asst Rick Bowness is believed to be the type teams looking at.

BTW, NYI are not "tolling" contract of G Tim Thomas. That means his NHL contract expires this summer and is UFA with no obligation to anyone

Now that VAN has interviewed Dallas Eakins, I would imagine veterans Lindy Ruff and/or Paul Maurice may get a look from the Canucks.

DAL is also interviewing Willie Desjardins, who has been coaching the Stars' farm team, and will be checking in on Dallas Eakins as well.

As @DarrenDreger reported earlier, DAL has already spoken to Lindy Ruff and will be speaking to Alain Vigneault about vacant head coach job.
