Sharks hopeful for Clowe … Hejduk re-signs … Weber “It’s going to get done” … Goalie carousel to stop in Philly?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News on May 12th, 2011
- Mark Emmons of the San Jose Mercury News: Ryane Clowe did not practice yesterday due to his ‘upper-body injury’ but coach Todd McLellan is hopeful that he can play tonight. He’ll skate this morning, and if he can play, he’ll be in the lineup.
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Milan Hejduk re-signed with the Avalanche for 1 year and $2.6 million. He can reach $3 million with performance bonuses.
- Josh Cooper of the Tennessean: Predators fans will sleep better now,
“It’s going to get done,” Weber said Wednesday as players packed up to depart for the offseason. “Obviously, this is a place I love to play, and you saw how close we were this year to getting to the conference finals, and possibly further. This is a place I want to be, and it’s going to be a matter of time before something gets done.”
“They definitely want to wrap it up before July 1, and we would also, if all things were equal,” Poile said during a season-ending press conference. “Will we be able to sign Shea Weber? The answer is yes.”
The pending RFA is coming off a 3 year, $13.5 million deal. Weber would like the Preds to add some offense, but the free agent market isn’t strong. Bringing Alex Radulov could be option, GM David Poile still talks with Radulov’s agent, but it’s up to the him to he wants to come back.
Said Poile: “What Paul said to him today was very simply, ‘You made lots of money. Is money an issue? You’re the leading scorer in the league, your team won a championship. You think you’re one of the best players in the world. Are you going to come over to the best league and show that? Or are you going to stay in a secondary league.’ ”
- Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News: Flyers GM Paul holmgren says that Chris Pronger will have back surgery today on his herniated disc. His surgery has a 95% success rate, and is similar to what Michael Leighton underwent last October. Mike Richards had his wrist surgery and has 4 weeks of rehab. Blair Betts’ rehab for his left pinky finger is 4 weeks as well. Leighton had successful surgery repairing a torn labrum. Andrej Meszaros had surgery to repair torn cartilage and a torn ligament in his wrist.
- Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer: Flyers chairman Ed Snider made it clear yesterday that the Flyers goaltending carousel will stop.
“So either one of the goalies we have has to step up in training camp, or we have to make improvements to make sure it happens. But we are never going to go through the goalie issues we’ve gone through in the last couple of years.”
The Flyers are close to the cap so adding a free agent goalie could be difficult but Snider added,
“If we trade or go for a goalie [through free agency], we’ll make it work,” he said. “We can make anything work, even with the cap.” Snider did say that Sergei Bobrovsky is the “goalie of the future.”
- Jeff Klein of hte NY Times: August 1st marks the day that Nassau County residents will vote to approve or reject a $400 million bond issue to build a new arena. $350 million would go towards the arena and $50 million towards a minor league baseball stadium.
- Katie Carrera of the Washington Post: Free agent Jason Arnott has said he’d like to remain in Capitals, but will they want to re-sign him? 3 of the last 4 seasons the Capitals have brought in veteran leadership at the trade deadline, but it’s possible the team thinks their younger players should step up.
Predators off-season notes … 5 Flyers require surgery … Fehr and Leblanc had shoulder surgery … Fasth getting interest
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on May 11th, 2011
- Josh Cooper of the Nashville Tennessean: The Predators made it to the 2nd round for the 1st time in franchise history, and will have a busy off-season with 4 UFAs and 5 RFAs. Their biggest challenge will be RFA Shea Weber who’d requires a raise from his current $4.5 million salary. Both sides had agreed during the season to wait until the off-season. One comparable could be Dion Phaneuf’s 6 year, $39 million deal. A starting point could be Brent Seabrook’s 5 year, $29 million contract, but he doesn’t put up the same offensive numbers and doesn’t provide the same leadership. Would they look at trade Weber before July 1st if they feel they can’t get a deal done? Joel Ward is a UFA and proved during the playoffs that he is more valuable than his $1.5 million he made this year. The Predators need to find a ‘game-changing forward,’ Shea Weber pointed this out on Monday. “That’s obviously up to the front office now, but we have to find a way to generate more goals,” Weber said. “We’re a good defensive team, but that can only get you so far.” Steve Sullivan will likely have to take a pay cut from his $3.75 million if he wants to come back next year. JP Dumont, who has a healthy scratch at times during the 2nd half of the season, is due to make $4 million next year and they could consider buying him out.
- Katie Carrera of the Washington Post: Capitals forward Eric Fehr had surgery to repair a torn labrum on his right shoulder. He could be out 4 to 6 months. 2 years ago he had surgery on both his shoulders.
“When he comes out of the sling, he’ll go through a very specific rehab program intending to get back his motion and strength and the rhythm of the shoulder back,” Shaffer said. “We’ll allow him to start skating two months from the date of the procedure, but return to play will be gradual. He’ll probably be on the ice in training camp but he won’t be in contact, collision situations.”
- Montreal Gazette: Canadiens prospect Louis Leblanc had arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder on Tuesday and will have 4 to 6 months of rehab. Leblanc was picked 18th overall in the 2009 draft. If the rehab lasts only 4 months, he could be ready for training camp.
- Elliotte Friedman of CBC Sports: Friedman thinks that if the Capitals are to shakeup their core, they should only move one of Mike Green or Alexander Semin, but not both.
- Philadelphia Flyers via twitter: Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said that 5 players will need off-season surgery. Mike Richards and Andrej Meszaros will have wrist surgery. Kris Versteeg will have a stomach muscle procedure, Blair Betts on his finger and Michael Leighton will have hip surgery.
- Damian Cristodero via twitter: The Lightning, Rangers and Oilers are reportedly interested in free agent Swedish goalie, Viktor Fasth.

Around the Boards: Habs Goalie Controversy, ANA-TO, EDM-TB Trades Coming? Wings Looking for Goalie?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on November 9th, 2009
- Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette: Stubbs outlines the Habs goalie controversy between Jarolsav Halak and Carey Price after a strange twist with Halak`s representative, Allan Walsh tweeting:
“Interesting stat of the night … Price is 10W, 32L in last 42 starts. Hmm.”
and later backtracked:
“It was a tongue-in-cheek comment not meant to be taken seriously, forgot it was Montreal and everyone loses a sense of humour,” he tweeted in reply.
- Bruce Garrioch of the Toronto Sun: The Tampa Bay Lightning might be looking to move Andrej Meszaros. Meszaros makes $4 million so it might be difficult to move him. Not many teams can afford a $4 million underachieving Dman. Though Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune states the Edmonton Oilers have been scouting the Lightning in their quest to find some defensive depth.The Hurricanes have struggled terribly this season and might be looking to get younger. Ray Whitney (no-move clause) and Joe Corvo might be on the block.Dallas is looking to a big forward.The Detroit Red Wings haven`t been that happy with the play of goalies Chris Osgood and Jimmy Howard, and might be looking to bring someone in. Martin Biron maybe?
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Rick DiPietro is a few weeks away from returning, if he can stay healthy, Martin Biron will be on the move. As part of the deal with Biron signing with the Isles, it was put in place that he would be traded if/when DiPietro returned.
- Curtis Zupke of the OC Register: Zupke on Randy Youngman`s article, both are bringing up the JS Giguere to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a deal that would involve Vesa Toskala. Giguere would be a `mentor`for Jonas Gustavsson, and is under contract until next season, making somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 million. Toskala`s $4 million contract expires at the end of the season. The Ducks would love to get out of Giguere`s contract, as Jonas Hiller has taken over the #1 duties. I`m not sure if Toronto would want to bring in a $6 million backup goalie/mentor.
