Tkachuk and Guerin deals imminent?
That is the rumor according to Hadley on Sports.

Both Bill Guerin and Keith Tkachuk have been informed they will in fact be dealt in the very near future… management has told both unequivocally they will be dealt. Deals for both are on the front-burner close to reaching a boiling point.
It sounds like the Red Wings are not in on the wheeling and dealing.
“I have a better sense of the market now as I head home,” said [Red Wings general manager Ken] Holland, actively searching for an impact forward. “The prices remain too high. Whether nor not we’ll be willing to pay that price next Tuesday at the deadline remains to be seen.”
…
“Unless the prices come down, we’re not going to do anything,” said [Anaheim general manager Brian] Burke. “I haven’t been thrown anything that I even have to think about yet. It’s the same guys coming after the same group of young players and they’re not going for a rental. It’s that simple. If the prices don’t come down, we’ll probably sit it out.”Vancouver Canucks GM Dave Nonis was in the same boat as Burke, wanting to make a move and yet put off by the current asking prices. “The price, for us, remains too high,” said Nonis. “We’d like to do something, but it’s just too high right now.”
If the rumor from Hadley on Sports is true it will be interesting to see what the Blues get in return and whether it suggests the market has gone up or down from what the Preds paid for Peter Forsberg.
