Larkin Leads Rumor Board As Leafs, Nurse Talk Rolls On

The rumor mill has Dylan Larkin sitting near the top of the board, and that alone is enough to keep executives and fans spinning. The same buzz also touches an Aaron Nurse trade angle and a Matthew Knies-to-Montreal wrinkle that apparently had more life than people realized. That is a lot of smoke for one day, which usually means the phones are busy even if nobody wants to admit it publicly. In hockey, the loudest denial often comes right before the next surprise.
