NY Rumor Mill: Parent, Hale, Ehrhoff, Allen

             We've already mentioned waiver posssibility and lefty D Ryan Parent, with Staal, Girardi connections....

              Nothing solid, but  hearing that former Dev D David Hale (now in Ottawa) might be a waiver pickup, despite GM Glen Sather's saying nobody today intrigued him.  Gotta be honest, Hale doesn't do much for me unless someone's moving out in a deal. Not sure picking will be that great on waivers today, so....

             On trade front, don't discount Florida, which is on a very tight budget. Bryan Allen, 30, he's 6-4, 220, a lefty D, 99 PIM last year, perhaps a little pricey at $2.9 mil though.

              German-born D Christian Ehrhoff of the Canucks ($3.1 mil, then UFA) may also be available, but Sami Salo is sidelined...

             Who knows...
