Mostly rehashing same rumours we've heard, but thought I'd post anyway,

Rob Blake may interest the Wings among others, the Blackhawks are on the hunt for a puck-moving defenceman and the Bruins could be a team to watch because they have loads of room to manoeuvre under the cap.

Hot n' Not, Call-Ups, Farm Report, Junior Report, Varsity Report and the best in quotes, Chirping, in this week's edition of TSN.ca's Backchecking.

AROUND THE RINKS
- Red Wings D Chris Chelios is apparently trying to convince the Wings to add Kings D Rob Blake, who has a no-trade clause and will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer. The Detroit News has San Jose, Colorado, the New York Rangers, Montreal and New Jersey being linked to Blake.

- The Toronto Sun reports that Kings GM Dean Lombardi wants a player, a prospect and a first-round pick for Blake, while noting that the Kings are also shopping LW Ladislav Nagy, D Brad Stuart and D Jaroslav Modry.

- According to the New York Post, the Devils are looking for a power play quarterback on the blueline, which could include Blake with Nagy or Stuart also holding some appeal. The paper figures that the Devils would have to offer the likes of David Clarkson, Andy Greene or prospect Matt Halischuk in a deadline deal.
