There's information out there that Canadian forward John Tavares will be traded by the Ontario Hockey League's Oshawa Generals on Tuesday.
The word is Tavares will be shipped to the London Knights for a package that includes right wing Christian Thomas, the son of former NHL player Steve Thomas.
The Knights are in first place in the Midwest Division with 59 points, having lost just eight games in regulation and one in a shootout. The Generals are in third place of the East Division.
The Canadian Hockey League placed a moratorium on trading players participating in the world junior championships while the tournament is taking place after Canadian goaltender Steve Mason, now of the Columbus Blue Jackets, learned that he had been dealt hours before the Canadians played a semifinal game last year.
