Moves coming for the Bruins and ‘Hawks? Canucks lose another D … Plenty of scouts at 2 games last night

  • James Murphy of ESPN Boston: With Marc Savard being put on LTIR, “We’re obviously going to have some flexibility now with replacement players, so in the next few weeks prior to the trade deadline, we’ll be busy,” Chiarelli said. Chiarelli could go after a defenseman and scoring depth, and not necessarily a center to replace Savard as they are deep up the middle. The Bruins have been looking for a puck moving defenseman for awhile. Tomas Kaberle and Chris Phillips have been mentioned, but Murphy thinks they have other Dman similar to Phillips, so he may be a last resort. Kaberle has a no trade and hasn’t submitted a list of teams he might waive it for. Sources are saying there may be teams he’d consider going to. One other option could be Thrashers Zach Bogosian (price tag would be high), who’s struggle this year, is a RFA this year and the ownership problem may cause them to shed money.
  • Tim Sassone via twitter: The Chicago Blackhawks could use a spark, GM Stan Bowman has 3 weeks to find that piece, could be a defenseman or a top 9 forward. They won’t do a blockbuster trade, nor do they need or over-react to recent slide. The ‘Hawks don’t have much cap space to take on a big contract for draft picks or prospects. Would teams be interested in Skille, Stalberg, Kopecky or Boynton?
  • David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: The San Jose Sharks are on a roll at 7-0-1 and may not be looking to make any trades at the moment. “We’ve already made changes,” Wilson said, referring to the Jan. 18 acquisitions of Kyle Wellwood and Ben Eager. “The majority of changes now are going to be the growth of our own players, playing up to their abilities and they’re trending in the right direction.”
  • Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun: The Vancouver Canucks have lost another defenseman as Keith Ballard left last nights game in the 1st period with a knee injury. He’ll have an MRI today. Sami Salo might be ready to go on Saturday against the Flames.
  • Don Brennan of Ottawa Sun: Jarkko Ruutu is on the trade block for the Senators, and was made a healthy scratch last night. When asked if he wants to get traded,  “The way I look at things, if I happen to get traded, I get traded … The other stuff I can’t control.”
  • David Pagnotta via twitter: Scouts at the Maple Leafs-Thrashers game last night: Anaheim, Carolina, Detroit, Edmonton, Montreal, Nashville, NY Rangers, Ottawa and San Jose.
  • Joshua Cooper via twitter: Scouts at the Oilers-Predators game: San Jose, Phoenix, Vancouver, Columbus, Chicago and 2 from Atlanta.
  • Columbus Dispatch: According to the ‘Sports Business Journal’, local Fox Sports Net numbers are  10,000 for Columbus,  Phoenix at 9,000, Atlanta at 6,000 and Florida at 3,000.

Savard to LTIR … Brodeur to have MRI … Kessel Audio … Red Wings looking at Conklin … Blackhawks-Thrashers scouting each other

  • Boston Bruins: Announced that Marc Savard will be put on LTIR and is out for the rest of the season.
  • The Fourth Period: The Chicago Blackhawks and Atlanta Thrashers have been heavily scouting each other this year, and might be setting something up for a future deal. The ‘Hawks could be looking for a Dman, and Brent Sopel could be an option. The Thrashers may like Jack Skille.
  • Kevin Allen of the USA Today: The Red Wings aren’t looking at expensive goalies, such as JS Giguere. Chris Phillips will be easier to move than Sergei Gonchar as the later has 2 years remaining. The Calgary Flames aren’t trading Robyn Regehr or Jarome Iginla. Allen thinks Alex Kovalev could end up in Pittsburgh. The Predators are looking for scoring help.
  • Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News: The LA Kings are looking for some scoring help, and Gleason thinks that Tim Connolly could be a fit. He mentions Kyle Clifford as a ‘prospect’ that could head to other way to Buffalo. Mark Stuart and Blake Wheeler could be trade bait for the Bruins.
  • Andy Strickland of True Hockey: The St. Louis Blues have already decided they won’t be re-signing goalie Ty Conklin, and have had discussions with the Detroit Red Wings. Ben Bishop would become the backup if Conklin is moved.
  • Bob McKenzie via twitter: Ray Emery signed with the Anaheim Ducks and was put on waivers at noon. Any team can claim but he’d have to stay in the NHL. If the claiming team wants to send him to the minors, he’d have to go on waivers again, and the Ducks could claim him.
  • Mark Spector via twitter: The Rangers have been scouting Sheldon Souray and haven’t liked what they’ve seen. He’s too slow for AHL, let alone the NHL.
  • Sean Fitz-Gerald of the National Post: Phil Kessel responds to comments he made yesterday, “Obviously, I love Toronto, I want to be here,” Kessel said, smiling. “I love this city. I love the fans. I love this team. The guys are great here. I don’t want any trade or anything like that. I want to be here for a very long time.”
  • Kevin Allen via twitter: Pavel Datsyuk will be back in the Red Wings lineup tonight. Tomas Holmstrom is hoping to return on Wednesday.
  • Eric Stephens via twitter: Ryan Getzlaf is back practicing with the Ducks and working with the 1st PP unit. Could be getting for their game against the Canucks.
  • Erik Erlendsson via twitter: Dwayne Roloson will start for the Lightning tonight against the Sabres. Ryan Malone will return to the lineup. Nate Thompson will not play tonight, may have suffered a concussion last yesterday. Malone practicing on top power play unit.

Sunday morning Rumor roundup part one

  • Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province: There are rumors that the NHL is looking into buying the Atlanta Thrashers and moving them to Winnipeg. They would raise $160 million, putting $35 million towards running the team, and offer $125 million to buy the team. It’s not know how far this idea has gone, or if it’s just in the tire kicking stages.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Columbus Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson could be on the hotseat, and possibly the same for Darcy Regier if the new owner wants to start fresh.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Bruins should announce this week if Marc Savard is shut down for the season or not. The Bruins could be looking for forward help and Jackets, Senators, Oilers and Panthers have forwards available for trade. With Evgeni Malkin done for the year it’s likely the Penguins will look at add some scoring. The Thrashers are looking to move Nik Antropov, Ron Hainsey and Freddy Modin.The only way Florida brings back Tomas Vokoun is if it’s on a 1 year deal. The Predators, Kings, and Lightning are looking at Mike Fisher, but the Senators are unlikely to move him. The Sens are looking for 2 top prospects and a high pick. The Canadiens, Sharks, Bruins and Capitals could be interested in Chris Phillips.
  • David Kalan of NHL.com: What might the Penguins do with Malkin now done. Jason Arnott might be of interest to the Penguins. The Pens will be able to bring in $8.1 million in salary cap at the deadline. The Pens now have the salary space to add an Ales Hemsky or Dustin Penner, and if shooting for the moon, Jarome Iginla. Malkin’s number comes back on the books next year, so bringing in some help that is under contract next year could be difficult to do.
  • Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson said he won’t discuss contract extensions with any of his 5 UFA’s, so they may become trade bait. Jan Hejda, Mathieu Garon, Ethan Moreau and Chris Clark and Andrew Murray will all be UFAs. Mike Commodore could be bought out in the summer if they can’t find a team to take him.
  • Can’t find embed code for last night’s Hockey Night in Canada Hotstove yet, but here is a link to it.
  • NHL Sources Say: The Hockeycentral panel discuss what the Penguins might do to replace Evgeni Malkin (Alex Kovalev an option) as well as a potential trade between Edmonton and Ottawa (Penner and Phillips as key pieces of the deal). Yzerman may be looking to improve along the blueline, possibly Beachemin and  Phillips. Senators are looking for a goaltender.

Sens can move Fisher to anyone … That Forsberg guy … Vokoun wants to talk to Tallon … Burke wants to negotiate with MacArthur … What to do with Hemsky, Penner

  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Garrioch confirms that Mike Fisher’s full no-movement clause ended after last season, he was to give the team a 10 team no-trade list but never did. There were reports that he would have to submit a list before he’s able to be dealt but hat may not be the case, and he’s not that worried about it. So it looks like the Senators would be able to trade him anywhere. Fisher wants to stay in Ottawa, and it would take a good deal to move him. The Sens are more likely to deal Chris Phillips and Jarkko Ruutu. “I really don’t think they’ll trade Mike Fisher,” said a league executive. “They’ll talk about it, but they’ll want a lot in return. Good players are hard to find. You should keep them. You can’t trade everybody.”
  • Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Colorado Avalanche coach Joe Sacco on Peter Forsberg, “The ball is in his court.” Forsberg practiced again yesterday. Sources say Forsberg has experienced some discomfort with his foot, but is using a brace in attempt to get a better fit in his skate. A decision may come by Sunday. Peter Mueller practiced yesterday but no timetable is set. Ryan O’Reilly (shoulder) could return on Saturday.
  • Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun: The Oilers will have to decide soon if they want to keep or trade Ales Hemsky and Dustin Penner. There are centers and defenseman in the draft that could interest the Oilers, so collecting some draft picks could be option. They will listen to offers for Gilbert Brule, Andrew Cogliano, Kurtis Foster, Colin Fraser, J.F. Jacques, Nikolai Khabibulin, Steve MacIntyre, Ladislav Smid, Jason Strudwick and Jim Vandermeer. Jones thinks the Oilers could get more for Penner than Hemsky. Jones thinks they should keep Hemsky and trade Penner.
  • George Richards of the Miami Herald: Tomas Vokoun hasn’t had any contract extension offers from the Florida Panthers, but he does hope to talk to GM Dale Tallon when they get back. Vokoun has a no-movement clause. Stephen Weiss and Bryan McCabe have no-trade clauses, with Weiss not knowing he had one until a few weeks ago. Winger Evgeny Dadonov will be out at last a month with a broken finger.
  • Paul Hunter of the Toronto Star: Brian Burke has said he wants to negotiate a contract extension for Clarke MacArthur. MacArthur is on a 1 year deal at $1.1 million after the Thrashers walked away from a $2.4 million arbitration ruling. He’s leading the Maple Leafs in scoring with 41 points, and will be looking for a nice raise.

    “We have not approached him yet. That’s something we’ll get to in the next little while. You have to figure out what a fair salary is for a player who has had a breakthrough year,” said the GM.

    “He’s not a player we intend to move at the deadline, whether he has signed an extension or not at that point.”

    Responds MacArthur: “I’d love to be a Leaf for the rest of my career, but that’s up to them.”

  • Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun: The Vancouver Canucks have sent Sami Salo to the AHL on a 3 game conditioning stint, and should return to the Canucks next week. With Alex Edler out 2-3 months, the Canucks won’t have to move any salary when Salo returns.
  • Ken Belson of the NY Times: One NJ Devil owner (Jeff Vanderbeek) wants to expand, 2 minority owners may be looking to sell their shares.

Oils, Flames, and Canucks have some pieces they may move … Savard may be headed to LTIR … Jordan Staal could be suspended (with video)

  • Bob McKenzie of TSN: Canucks forwards Mason Raymond and/or Mikael Samuelsson could become trade bait to upgrade their top 6. They may also be looking for a 4th line center. The Calgary Flames could look to move Steve Staios or Anton Babchuk. They could look for draft picks for Alex Tanguay, Brendan Morrison and Curtis Glencross, and might look at moving Robyn Regehr if they fall out of the playoff race. If the Oilers are going to move Andrew Cogliano or Ladislav Smid, they’d want young players in return. They may also try to move Dustin Penner and/or Ales Hemsky. There is an outside chance Sheldon Souray will be put on re-entry waivers, but it’s more likely he’ll be moved in the off-season.
  • Joe MacDonald of ESPN Boston: The Bruins are having internal discussions whether or not to shut down Marc Savard for the season. Before a decision is made, he’ll be re-evaluated today. “With the time between concussions, and with the severity of the concussion [last March], and the time between when he basically stopped having concussion symptoms, [shutting him down] is certainly something you would have to consider,” Chiarelli said. If they shut him down, they can put him LTIR and use his cap to bring in an impact player.
  • Seth Lakso of NESN: The Bruins might have an interest in Senators defenseman Chris Phillips. They currently have about $1.7 million in cap space, and could increase if Savard is put on LTIR. The Bruins may have to include a roster player to bring in Phillips contract.
  • Fluto Fhinzawa of the Boston Globe: The Bruins are looking to some more offensive consistency from their centers, and may look to replace Savard’s  offense closer to the deadline. Chiarelli has said that with so many teams within playoff reach, the current market is sparse. They have depth down the middle, so they may look at the wing and on the blueline. The Bruins are unlikely to part with the 1st round pick they got from the Maple Leafs, but have their own that they might be willing to deal.
  • Dan Rosen of NHL.com: Penguins GM Ray Shero,
    “I can only speak for myself and I’ve talked to a few (GMs),” Shero said. “I haven’t talked to all the teams, but I have kept in touch with a few guys. With our team I have a pretty good idea of what we want to do so I’m not contacting every team. You do that a week or two before the deadline to make sure you’re covering everything off, doing your due diligence, but it hasn’t been that active now. As you get through the All-Star break it tends to pick up and we’ll see that over the next few weeks of course.”

  • EJ Hradek via twitter: Hradek says the Kings need a top 6 forward, but to have patience as they are building for the long run and some key pieces are in place.
  • Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune: The net is getting crowded in Tampa with Mike Smith finishing his AHL conditioning stint. The Lightning now have 3 goaltenders on their roster. “I’m just going to let the situation evolve a little bit and see how it goes,” said GM Steve Yzerman. Yzerman added “But ultimately we have to do what makes sense for the team, and in any trade you shop around and you try to make the best deal that you can if that’s what you’re looking to do.” Ryan Malone practiced but still wasn’t ready to return from his ‘mid-body injury,’ but could be ready for their next game.
  • Darren Dreger via twitter:  The Penguins say Jordan Staal will automatically be suspended, but the NHL will review it. Staal will be suspended ‘x’ amount of games, have suspension rescinded, or fined for the incident.

Players with the worst plus/minus so far this season

So the all-star break is upon us (yawn), and in honor this 4 day break, I decided to put together a list of the worst plus/minuses so far this season. I’m still amazed (and annoyed, on my fantasy team) that Kovalchuk leads this category. I know he doesn’t always focus on the defensive side of the things but…..  Finding 4 San Jose Sharks is also a bit of a surprise. Maple Leafs defenseman/forward Brett Lebda is a funny case as he’s a -19 in 22 games, that’s terrible.

Leino and Flyers working on a deal … Moving Senators … Callahan, Prospal activated … Cox’s plan for Leafs … Weber options

  • Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer: The Philadelphia Flyers and Ville Leino continue talks and agent, Bill Zito texted, “I am optimistic we’ll get a deal done.” The Flyers have about $4.1 million in ‘tagging’ space for next season. Leino is making $825,000 this season and could be looking for a deal in the $2.3 million range. Other Flyers UFA’s are Brian Boucher, Sean O’Donnell, and Nik Zherdev. RFA’s are Dan Carcillo, Andreas Nodl, and Darroll Powe. James van Riemsdyk is nursing a groin injury but should be ready to go after the break.
  • Ottawa Sun: Garrioch was originally surprised the Senators didn’t put a waiver claim on Evgeni Nabokov. They contacted his agent and found out he wouldn’t go to Ottawa. Brennan thinks they can find someone who’d be interested in Sergei Gonchar, and points out that if they find a team to take Filip Kube, that GM should be fired.  Garrioch thinks Jarrko Ruutu will be traded, and that the Bruins should take a run at Chris Phillips. They’ll listen to offers for Mike Fisher.
  • Darren Dreger via twtter: Dreger talked to Fisher’s agent who said he hasn’t submitted a list of teams that he’d okay/not okay a trade to, and won’t until he’s asked.
  • Jesse Spector of the NY Daily News: The NY Rangers activated Ryan Callahan and Vinny Prospal from the IR and sent Michael Del Zotto, Brodie Dupont, Evgeny Grachev, Chad Kolarik and Kris Newbury back to the AHL.
  • Damien Cox of the Toronto Star: Heading into the all-star break Cox makes 2 points (1) That James Reimer is the teams best goalie at the moment and should continue to play for the big club. (2) “this notion that the Leafs will be looking to add talent by next month’s trade deadline for some kind of late-season playoff run is at best fanciful and at worst incomprehensible.” They should sell off and acquire futures. The team should look to improve for next fall, acquiring prospects or draft picks.
  • Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun: Kevin Bieksa is putting together a solid season, and may force the Canucks into deciding to either re-sign him or Christian Ehrhoff, both will be UFA’s after the season. “I’ve got more,” Bieksa said. “I’d love to be here. Love to finish my career here. Maybe the feeling is mutual.”
  • Ed Willis of the Vancouver Province: Shea Weber will be a RFA at the end of the season, and may start thinking at a change of scenery may be good after not getting past the 1st round of the playoffs in 5 years (4 times in the playoffs). Many pieces have been traded off, and the team has trouble getting to the next level.  He could  tell the team (could, not has), “Look, I’ve given you six good seasons. I’m going to be unrestricted in another season and I’d like to win. Why don’t you move me while you can still get something for me?” The Predators would likely want to lock him up long-term at a reasonable number.

Anaheim Ducks trade option … Why Giguere won’t be traded … Alfie not going anywhere … White to have MRI

  • Eric Stephens of the OC Register: If the Anaheim Ducks continue to hold on to their playoff spot, GM Bob Murray hopes to be a buyer at the trade deadline. Though he’s not saying, it’s likely he’d like to add to the blueline. Kevin Bieksa doesn’t appear to be heading to the trade block as the Canucks may be looking to move Mikael Samuelsson and Raffi Torres, both of who could fit on the 3rd line, especially if they move forward with putting Bobby Ryan in the 3rd line center spot. If the Ducks look at defenseman, they could be interested in Bryan McCabe, Francois Beauchemin, Tomas Kaberle, Robyn Regehr, Chris Phillips, and Joni Pitkanen.
  • Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: Don’t be surprised if JS Giguere isn’t traded. Ideally they’d like to move him now but “a) he hasn’t played great; b) he’s been injured; c) no one would be willing to pay him $2.85 million, which would be tomorrow’s figure on what’s left on his deal.” At the deadline he’ll be owed $1.54 million, and not many contenders will be looking for a backup goalie.
  • Chris Stevenson via twitter: Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray said Daniel Alfredsson is one of two untouchables. Erik Karlsson likley the other.
  • Rich Chere via twitter: NJ Devils defenseman Colin White will be having an MRI on his ‘lower-body’ injury.
  • Chris Kuc via twitter: Cory Crawford will be in the net for the Blackhawks tomorrow night against the Wild.
  • Katie Carrera via twitter: Alexander Semin, Matt Bradley, Michal Neuvirth, and Tom Poti likely not back before the All-Star break.

Senators about to enter re-building mode

  • Roy MacGregor of the Globe and Mail: In many minds, the Ottawa Senators season is a write off, and it’s time to look towards next season. The fans will likely accept a complete rebuild. Bryan Murray is rumored to be moving to a Senior Adviser role with the club. Eugene Melnyk has said the Cory Clouston will finish the year out as the teams coach, Murray will finish the year before handing the team off to someone else. Pierre McGuire has already been interviewed for the GM job, and there will be more interviews to take place. Coaching replacements could be Kirk Muller, Craig MacTavish and Kevin Dineen. Whoever is hired as the next coach will be chosen by the next GM. Murray will continue to look to unload his ‘assets’. Under-achieving Alex Kovalev could be moved, as well as defenseman Sergei Gonchar. Daniel Alfredsson and Chris Phillips may be asked to waive their no-trade clauses.
  • Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen: Bryan Murray will continue to attempt to find new homes for Chris Phillips, Jarkko Ruutu, and Alex Kovalev, and bring in prospects and draft picks. Owner Melnyk said the team needs a ‘game changer’ but that will likely have to wait until the draft where they’ll likely pick in the top 5. They will look to build the team from within, and not go after any expensive free agents this off-season.

Fleischmann done for year … Red Wings sign Nabokov, awaits waivers and waiver rule craziness … Sturm and Niittymaki to IR

  • Terry Frei of the Denver Post: The Avalanche will be with Tomas Fleischmann for the remainder of the year, as he was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. He has a blood clot in each of his lungs and will be on blood thinners “for several months.”
  • George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press: The Red Wings and Evgeni Nabokov have agreed on a one year, pro-rated $570,000 contract, $250,000 for the rest of the year. He’ll have to clear waivers now, and we’ll know by noon tomorrow if someone claims him. Backup Chris Osgood is expected to be out 6-8 weeks after sports hernia surgery. Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Garrioch thinks the Senators should make a claim on Nabokov. Bob McKenzie via twitter: McKenzie thinks there is something in the deal that would “discourage” teams from claiming Nabokov. Spector Hockey via twitter: Would be surprised if he goes unclaimed, deal has a no-movement clause. Rich Chere via twitter: The Devils could claim Nabokov (first waiver priority), put him on waivers, the Red Wings could claim him and complete their transaction. Capgeek via twitter: “Any team with unsuccessful first claim on Nabokov would have priority if acquiring team turned around and placed him on waivers again.” If Nabokov has an NMC and was waived a second time, he could potentially block waiver process but not choose a claiming team.” “If ONLY ONE team submits a claim for Nabokov, acquires him, and waives him again, Detroit would then have priority.” Elliott Friedman via twitter: “@capgeek However, section 13.20 (b) also says team in your case number one would have to accept same deal as Detroit offers. Interesting.” “So, possibility exists Detroit could offer more (a higher draft pick, maybe?) than other teams willing to pay. We’ll see how it plays out.”
  • Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun: Canucks GM Mike Gillis told a Toronto radio station that Sami Salo may not return this year, which is nothing new as he’s said that along. “Nothing has changed,” Gillis added after yesterday’s practice “We’re unsure about whether he’ll play, but he’s making progress. That’s completely consistent with everything we’ve said. This is a devastating injury. It can be a career-ending injury. Sami’s at the point where he’s not 24 or 25, so this is going to take time.”
  • John Vogl of the Buffalo News: Patrick Kaleta, who just returned on Tuesday from his broken (still wearing a cast), blocked a shot with at that hand. Results came back negative and he’s not expected to be out too long.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Chris Phillips hasn’t had any recent discussions with the Senators. “I’d like to be part of the solution here,” said Phillips. “We’ll find out if I’m part of the plans.” Garrioch thinks he’ll be traded.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Garrioch wonders if Senators coach Cory Clouston will be fired after last night’s ‘gong show’ 6-2 loss to the Flyers. Craig Hartsburg was fired 2 years ago with the same 17-24-7 record.
  • David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: Antero Niittymaki has been placed on the IR with a lower-body injury. The Sharks had to sign Jordan White of UBC to a one game amateur tryout contract yesterday.
  • The Globe and Mail Podcast: “Globe hockey writers Eric Duhatschek, David Shoalts and James Mirtle join host Darren Yourk to talk about changing attitudes in the head-shot debate as Sidney Crosby remains sidelined, woeful losses for the Leafs and Flames and Evgeni Nabokov exploring a deal with the Detroit Red Wings.”
  • Helene Elliott of the LA Times: Marco Sturm has been placed on the IR by the LA Kigns with tendinitis is his left knee, not the knee that he had surgery on last year. Wings Scott Parse skated yesterday for the first time since having hip surgery in November, his return had been set for 3-4 months.
  • Darren Dreger via twitter: Dreger wonders why the Maple Leafs don’t go with a lower salary and different structure? A longshot but it’s possible.
  • Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star: Leafs goalie JS Giguere once again said he’d consider waiving his no-trade clause.

    “I haven’t waived my no trade, I haven’t talked to Burke at all about it, but I’ve said, if Burke was to come see me, I would owe him the respect to think about it and talk to my family about it,” said Giguere.

    “When and if this happens, we’ll see what happens.”

    Giguere carries a $7 million salary and $6 million cap hit this year. Giguere likes it in Toronto, and they may consider keeping him around to mentor the younger goalies,

    “I see it (a role for myself in Toronto), but I don’t know what management wants,” said Giguere. “Maybe they want to go with the young guys. Maybe they want to have an older guy with a young guy. “

Rumors out of Colorado and San Jose … Kaberle wants to remain on the east, long-term … Selanne could retire after season … An Oshie return tonight

  • Andy Strickland of True Hockey: With the return of Chris Stewart last week, the Avalanche have some extra forwards and may look to move one for a quality defenseman. The Avs may be shopping Brandon Yip. Tomas Kaberle continues to be in the rumor mill, he’s set on remaining in the east and might consider a trade if a long-term extension is in place. Strickland wonders if Chris Phillips would sign with the Senators this summer even if he’s traded. Teams have inquired about Mike Fisher. The Sharks would be willing to move a top-6 forward to get the defenseman they covet, though many of their top-6 have no-trade clauses.
  • David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: The San Jose Sharks could be on a deal, but not the rumored defenseman that has been talked about for months. They could be looking at adding  “experience, speed, size, energy and grit to the third or fourth line.” They’ve relied heavily on their farm team to fill those lines, and now have injuries to Ryane Clowe and Torrey Mitchell. Scott Nichol will be having his hit on David Schlemko looked at by the league.
  • Curtis Zupke of the OC Register: Teemu Selanne has said this could be last season in the NHL. “Some days I feel like I can play five more years,” Selanne said. “(But) most days I feel that this is it. I’m not going to say anything for sure. I’m going to take a little time off after the season and see how much fun (I’m having) and how healthy I am. But I still look at (this) as my last year.”
  • Bob McKenzie via twitter: There have been some rumors that the Islanders could be trading Matt Moulson, if it does happen, won’t be to Boston. McKenzie also reports that Isles GM Garth Snow has told Moulson’s side that they’d like to sign an extension, negotiations haven’t started.
  • The Hockey News: Panthers defenseman Bryan McCabe should miss 4-6 weeks with a broken jaw.
  • Andy Strickland of True Hockey: TJ Oshie could return to the Blues lineup as early as tonight. He took part in full workout yesterday, including contact. How the ankle is this morning could determine if he plays or not. Carlo Colaiacovo was back practicing yesterday after missing a couple games, took a puck in the face. Phillip Mcrae was practicing on a line with Backes and Steen. If Kyle Wellwood clears waivers, we could play tonight on a line with Patrik Berglund and Vladimir Sobotka.

Injured Canucks … Giguere could waive no-trade … Stars dangling Neal for Dman? Would Sharks consider Souray? Surgery for Whitney

  • Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: Canucks 4th line center Alec Bolduc will have an MRI done later this week to determine the extend of his injury, but he’s expected to miss a month. His shoulder popped out on a face-off on Friday, this is his 3rd separation in the last 2 years. They’ll need to recall a forward this week, maybe Sergei Shirokov, Viktor Oreskovich, or possibly Cody Hodgson. If they look at a trade to replace him, Islanders center Zenon Konopka could be of interest.
  • Mike Zwolinski of the Toronto Star: JS Giguere has a no-trade clause but has made it known that he could be open to waiving it. Tomas Kaberle, François Beauchemin and Mike Komisarek also have no-trade clauses but haven’t said publicly if they’d be open to waiving it. Trade talks in past weeks have involved Kris Versteeg, Clarke MacArthur and Mikhail Grabovski. Trading Versteeg for prospects seems odd since they gave up prospects to get before the season. MacArthur and Grabovski have been a couple of their best players this year. Kaberle for Blake Wheeler continues to float out there, though the Bruins have 7 Dman locked up for next year.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Jarrko Ruutu knows his days in Ottawa are likely numbered. The Kings, Sharks and Penguins could possibly be interested in him.
  • Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Matheson thinks the Penguins should trade Evgeni Malkin and move Jordan Staal up to the #2 center, and proposes a Malkin-Rick Nash trade, though admits will likely never happen. Matheson wonders if the Sharks have considered Sheldon Souray. Flyers are looking for right winger who’ll be a UFA at season end, currently have about $1.9 million in cap room. Some think the Stars will dangle James Neal for an offensive defenseman.
  • Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Oilers defenseman Ryan Whitney will be heading to N.C. to see his foot specialist (will be his 3rd procedure there) to repair a dislocated tendon in his right ankle. A time frame may be better known today when it gets examined, but “All we know is it’s going to be a good amount of time,” Tambellini said. “He’s dealt with this surgeon before, so he’s very comfortable with him.”
  • Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Derek Boogaard could be done for the season after suffering a concussion in a fight with Matt Carkner. Don’t look for a Mike Commodore-Brian Rolston deal, Rolston makes too much money for the Blue Jackets. Best Bets for Senators defenseman Chris Phillips are the Capitals and Sharks. If Patrick Eaves keeps up his scoring, Jiri Hudler could find himself an odd man out, would someone take his $2.8 million contract?
  • Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun: The Calgary Flames turned down the idea of starting next season in Europe, “We need to focus on what’s important and get ourselves back on track,” said team president and CEO Ken King. Sharks GM Doug Wilson is kicking tires, but “the marketplace is a tough one” as many teams are looking for centers and defenseman. Ilya Bryzgalov’s agent, Don Meehan, is heading to Phoenix today to discuss contract extension with the Coyotes. “We’ve been told that signing Ilya is a priority,” said Meehan.

Sharks targeting defenseman, could they ask about Vokoun? Markov hopes to stay in Montreal … Panthers have plenty that might draw some interest

  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The San Jose Sharks continue to look for defenseman, and they might be interested in Chris Phillips. They could also be interested in Francois Beauchemin and Tomas Kaberle. Though Florida is in contract extension talks with Tomas Vokoun, the Sharks might come calling. Brad Richards isn’t going anywhere for now. Players being shopped by the NJ Devils include Jason Arnott, Dainius Zubrus, and Colin White. If the Devils can’t get a deal done with RFA Zach Parise, he could get an offer sheet by someone after July 1st. The Capitals may be interested in Arnott. The Blue Jackets may still be interested in Sheldon Souray. Kevin Bieksa likely won’t be moved by the Canucks, but they could look to move Mikael Samuelsson and his $2.5 million salary.
  • Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette: Andrei Markov hopes that he’s able to re-sign with the Canadiens. Markov is in the final year of 4 year, $23 million deal. There haven’t been any talks yet but Markov’s agent, Don Meehan, isn’t concerned.
  • Mike Berardino of the Sun-Sentinel: The Florida Panthers have some pieces that may intrigue other teams. Tomas Vokoun in net, tough guy Darcy Hordichuk, defenseman Bryan McCabe, and forwards Marty Reasoner, Cory Stillman, Radek Dvorak, and Chris Higgins. If anyone wants Rostislav Olesz, he could be had ($11 million for 3 more years).
  • Andy Strickland of True Hockey: Kyle Wellwood could be practicing with the St. Louis Blues on Monday. Confirmation of his KHL buyout should be received soon, and he would be put on waivers shortly after. If he clears, and everything goes as planned, he could be in the lineup on Tuesday. Carlo Colaiacovo took a puck in the face, but isn’t expected to miss much time.

  • Dallas Dave via twitter: The San Jose Sharks are sure to trade for a defenseman by the deadline, Francois Beauchemin and Chris Phillips are possible.
  • Bryan Mullen via twitter: Predators winger Martin Erat won’t be in the lineup tomorrow, but is expected back this weekend. Steve Sullivan won’t be back this weekend.
  • Erik Erlendsson via twitter: Dwayne Roloson will get the start against the Capitals. Steve Downie is game-time decision and Bergenheim is back in.
  • Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: Clarke MacArthur would consider signing with the Maple Leafs long-term according to his agent, Tim Hodgson. Brian Burke added, “We have not yet begun contract talks with Clarke, and do not intend to discuss it if and when we do so.” MacArthur could get some trade interest at the deadline.
  • David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: San Jose’s coaches appear to be safe, “Our coaches are the same people who prepared this team to do what it did last year — go to the third round of the playoffs, beat Detroit,” Wilson said. “Systemic play, I have no issue there. I watch it to see if our players are capable of it. The answer is yes, but they’re not doing it right now.”
  • Howard Berger of the National Post: JS Giguere likes Toronto, but realizes he likely won’t be back next year, and could be gone soon than that.

    “Right now, I’m not in that type of situation, but if I can get back to playing at a good level before the deadline, it could be different,” Giguère, 33, said prior to last night’s Leafs-Kings game at the Staples Center. “If another team wanted me for the last part of the season and the playoffs, I would discuss the issue with my family and make a decision. But I’d be open to it.”

  • Michael Russo via twitter: Jose Theodore is visiting the doctor regarding “lower body soreness”, and likely won’t practice tomorrow.

Yzerman won’t trade top draft picks … Canucks Dman update … Salary dump in Ottawa … Semin out 2 games

  • Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersburg Times: As the trade deadline approaches, don’t expect Lightning GM Steve Yzerman to include any 1st to 3rd round 2011 or 2012 draft picks to in bring some additional help. Yzerman added “I don’t want to hold myself up to say we’re not going to do anything. But I think it would be very difficult to add without giving something up of great value I wouldn’t want to give up.”
  • Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun: Though he’s back practicing, there is no guarantee that Sami Salo will play again this year. Canucks GM Gillis told the Sun, “I think people are really jumping the gun,” “For some reason, people want to discount the type of injury he had. He suffered a 95% rupture of his Achilles tendon. There are people who never walk after something like that. We don’t know if he’s going to play. He’s three practices in and it’s going OK, but it’s still a long ways off.” Gillis also said he won’t talk about contract extensions for Kevin Bieksa and Christian Ehrhoff until the season is over.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: 2 sources have told the Sun that the Senators GM Bryan Murray is trying to dump salary. Trade candidates could be Chris Phillips, Filip Kuba, Alex Kovalev, Peter Regin, and Milan Michalek.
  • Ken Warren of the Ottawa Sun: Senators winger Alex Kovalev will miss at least a week with his ongoing knee injury. Mike Fisher is expected to be able to go against the Bruins, he blocked a shot with his knee over the weekend.
  • Ben Kuzma via twitter: Canucks center Ryan Kesler has an injured thumb, but is expecting to play tomorrow.

Bruins could be fit for Phillips … Kings re-sign Johnson, Doughty update … Injury notes on Semin, Backstrom, DiPietro and more

  • Rich Hammond of LAKingsInsider: The LA Kings have locked up defenseman Jack Johnson to a 7 year, $30.5 million deal. He has a cap hit of about $4.35 million, he’ll earn $3.5 million for the first 3 seasons, $5 million the final 4. GM Lombardi gives and update on Drew Doughty, who’ll be an RFA at the end of the year,

    “We’ve had very kick-the-tire discussions on Drew. Part of it was gauging where his play was. Again, Drew is two or three years younger than Jack, so there is a greater period there of growth. We can let it play out a little. We’re obviously going to sign him, and term is not an issue. Now that Jack is in, it gives us a little reference point. Like I said, we have some flexibility in terms of term, and we’ll start pecking away at that. But it’s hard to do three or four (players) at once, because you get confused as to what the mission is. Jack was committed for seven or eight years, and never wavered from that. It was, `OK, let’s get this done, put it in the bank and go do the other one [Doughty].’ So we’ve got one long-term deal in, and if we have to do the other one short-term, we’ve still got the free-agent rights and we can try again later. But it’s nice to have one in the bank.”

  • Katie Carrera of the Washington Post: Alexander Semin had a collision with Steve Bernier in the 2nd period last night, he did not return for the 3rd, and is listed as day-to-day.
  • Mike Chambers of the Denver Post: Avs defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk was spotted limping after the game and went for X-rays, results should be known sometime today.
  • Katie Strang via twitter: Rick DiPietro missed practiced yesterday and his heading back to New York to have his groin strain evaluated.
  • Michael Russo of the Star-Tribune: Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom will be shut down for a few days with left hip injury. He had surgery on the hip back in 2008-09. Marek Zidlicky will try to rehab his shoulder rather than having surgery. He hopes to be back in 4 to 6 weeks. GM Fletcher isn’t in the market for a replacement right handed Dman.
  • The Globe and Mail: Chris Osgood will have his groin injury checked out by a specialist sometime this week, and it might require surgery. The Red Wings will call up Joey MacDonald.
  • Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun: Pascal Leclaire will not face shots for at least another week with a lower-body injury. Clouston said “It has to do with lower body and back and hips and groin area … it’s not just a pulled groin. I’m not a doctor but … it’s more complicated than that.” When asked if Leclaire could be lost of the season, “I’m not going to say that, I don’t think it’s to that extent,” … “I’m also going to not say it’s not.”
  • Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Tom Kostopoulus waived his right for an in-person meeting with the NHL regarding his hit on Brad Stuart, which might mean at least a 5 game suspension.
  • Rich Chere via twitter: The Devils won’t announce a new captain yet, they’ll go with 2 assistants for now.

3 groups of Flames that could be traded… Getzlaf out 4-6 weeks … Karlsson only safe Senator … Commodore asks for trade … plus more

  • Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun: Sportak lists 3 groups of Calgary Flames that could be traded 1. The UFA’s: Curtis Glencross, Brendan Morrison, Anton Babchuk, Steve Staios, Adam Pardy and Alex Tanguay. 2. Not playing up to Snuff: Niklas Hagman or Matt Stajan. 3. Core players: Jarome Iginla, Robyn Regehr and Miikka Kiprusoff.
  • Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer: Chris Pronger has been cleared to resume light skating tomorrow. Pronger is recovering from a broken foot he suffered on Dec. 15th. He’ll be re-evaluated on Jan. 12th.
  • Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: According to sources, Mike Commodore has asked the Columbus Blue Jackets for a trade because he doesn’t think he’s in coach Arniel’s game plans. He’s been a healthy scratch 7 of the last 8 games. Commodore signed a 5 year, $18.75 million deal in 2008 ($3.5 million next year, $3.35 million the year after), so it could be difficult to move him. Portzline notes “His inability to crack the top six spots on the Blue Jackets’ blue line — considered one of the worst in the NHL — will also set off alarms.” From coach Scott Arniel, “I don’t have him in our top 6. He feels he should be, which is why he asked for the trade. I understand that.” Arniel also added, “This isn’t personal. This has to do with hockey skills.”
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: It looks like Erik Karlsson may be the only Ottawa Senator that GM Bryan Murray wouldn’t trade, and he isn’t finding any buyers for the rest of his players. If a trade can’t be made, don’t be surprised if Murray goes back behind the bench. Mike Fisher has 2 years left on his contract, might get some interest, but doubtful to move. Chris Phillips is a UFA at seasons end, but would like to stay, no negotiations have taken place. Jarrko Ruutu has been a healthy scratch and is a UFA at the end of the year.
  • Ian Walker via twitter: Roberto Luongo will start for the Canucks. Andrew Alberts will also be in the lineup.
  • Bob McKenzie via twitter: Jed Ortmeyer (Min) and JD Watt (Cgy) cleared waivers today. Whitfield (Bos), Marc-Andre Bergeron (TB) and Kyle Wilson (CBJ) were placed on waivers today.

  • Jesse Spector of the NY Daily News: Marian Gaborik will be back in the lineup for the Rangers tonight, and the Rangers also recalled Mats Zuccarello. Gaborik practiced with Brandon Dubinsky and Derek Stepan. Michael Del Zotto will likely be out as he recovers from the flu.
  • Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star: The NHL holiday roster freeze ends Monday, and Brian Burke continues to look for a trade to shake up his roster. “It’s believed by team sources that Burke “owes” Wilson at least a trade to shake up the underachieving roster up and give the coach an improved opportunity to rescue the team’s badly fading playoff hopes.”
  • Mark Everson of the NY Post: Teams are following the NJ Devils closely, and many are interested in Jamie Langenbrunner and his no-trade clause. The Sharks, Red Wings, and Stars (as well as most other top teams) could be interested. If Rolston is put on re-entry waivers he’s likely to get picked up. Jason Arnott is pondering if he’d waive his no-trade clause if asked.
  • Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Teams are calling the Atlanta Thrashers about Niclas Bergfors (Maple Leafs likely one of the teams) but GM Dudley doesn’t want to give him away for nothing.
  • TSN: Peter Forsberg’s attempted comeback is now over (it’s Christmas not Ground Hog day right?). Markus Naslund, MODO’s GM said “I’ve had a talk with him today and he simply says that it does not feel good enough for him to build on this.”
  • Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: The Avalanche are not “moving full steam” to re-sign Craig Anderson. Anderson was excellent last season, but he’s battled injuries and has only been average. LA Kings prospect Brayden Schenn will likely be traded by Portland (WHL) to either Saskatoon or Portland. Sheldon Souray has 1 goal on 50 shots in 15 games.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators and Chris Phillips haven’t discussed a new contract for the upcoming UFA. Preliminary discussions took part at the beginning of the season, but not much since then.
