Monday Activity Roundup

• The Los Angeles Kings have placed D Tom Preissing on waivers.
  
• The New Jersey Devils acquired D Niclas Havelid and F Myles Stoesz fromt the Atlanta Thrashers for D Anssi Salmela. Devils GM Lou Lamoriello keeps on improving his defensive corps, which makes New Jersey a more legitimate threat in the East.
• Islanders' captain Bill Guerin will sit out tonight's game against the Colorado Avalanche, which seems to indicate that he is on his way out. The only problem seems to be the receiving team's cap space, which has led to this long wait. The Capitals are apparently the team close to acquiring the veteran winger.
• The Minnesota Wild do not seem willing to sell off their assets... yet.
• Keith Tkachuk's situation seems tricky: he has a no-trade clause and might like to play for a playoff team, but his experience with the Atlanta Thrashers 2 years ago seems to indicate that he might be quite selective in his process and will only play for a clear-cut cup contender.
• The Sabres might like to part with one of their impending free agents, most likely Tim Connolly if they cannot re-sign him.
  
• Leafs' GM Brian Burke once again spilled the beans on his trade deadline whereabouts.
• The Senators seem more and more likely to part with Chris Neil and Filip Kuba.
• Among the possible Chris Pronger suitors: the Blues, the Bruins and the Leafs.
• The Thrashers seem once more inclined to sell off all their ''mid-range'' assets.
