Around the Boards: Oilers moves coming? Kovalchuck getting offer from KHL? Ward Getting Close


  • David Staples of the Edmonton Journal: If the Oilers continue to stumble, look for them to consider moving some of their older players who are on longer term deals. Players that could possibly fit in to this category are Lubomir Visnovsky, Sheldon Souray, Nikollai Khabibulin, Ethan Moreau, Steve Staios and Shawn Horcoff.
  • Alexander Zaitsev of RussianHockeyFans.com: Translated from a Russian Paper, Sport-Express

    We do have an interest in Kovalchuk. We know that the Thrashers are going to offer him the maximum salary within the limits of the salary cap. But there are differences between the tax systems in the USA and Russia so our offer can turn out to be better. It’s up to Kovalchuk to decide where to continue his career.

    - Have you talked with Kovalchuk already?
    - We’re talking!

  • Javier Serna of the Raleigh News & Observer: Cam Ward was back on the ice facing some practice shots from teammates yesterday.  Ward thinks he’s close to being game ready.
  • Shelly Anderson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Pittsburgh’s Alex Goligoski and Chris Kunitz’s injuries are taking longer to heal than originally anticipated, no timetable is set.
