Update on Johnny Oduya negotiations
Mike Heika from the Dallas Morning News believes the Oduya could be headed to Dallas:
Dallas Stars are among the teams in on UFA defenseman Johnny Oduya, who could make his decision today.

Dallas certainly needs the help, but we would be mildly surprised if this happened.
Another option is Buffalo according to Pro Hockey Talk.
Apparently, Johnny just turned down a big contract from the Sabres:
Oduya reportedly previously turned down a 3 year, $15M offer from #Sabres. They will continue to pursue. #Stars also interested.

Everyone knows that Oduya wants to resign with the Blackhawks. But the Sharp trade didn’t open up much salary space, make it harder to retain JO.
