Have they announced the cap figure for next year?

[Triumph36]

No, but speculation is that it will be around $44 million (US). I believe the figure is set to be announced later this week.

Rumors that are out there; Looks like Luongo might be traded (I'd love for the Lightning to get him)

Rumour has it the Leafs will overpay for a bunch washed up stiffs. Half the city will rejoice and half will cry but all of them will wish they could get their mitts on season tickets for a reasonable price.

[Triumph36]

LOL - that's not a rumor, that's a fact.

AceHawk, thefourthperiod has been pretty much discredited - this guy got one thing right and has been riding off it ever since. His 'rumors' are mostly in his head I think.

[Acehawk74]

Yeah? I wasn't aware of that, I had always looked there first. Now that you mention it, ... yeah. Point taken.

Do you have a link that you check for rumors?

Spector's Trade Rumors compiles all the latest trade rumors from major newspapers and radio stations. Here's the link: Spector's Trade Rumors

While these aren't often 'wow' type of speculations, Spector doesn't guarantee things will happen or make wild claims that he can't back up - he doesn't have mysterious 'sources' - he leaves that to the individual journalists, but is usually able to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to credibility.
