Morning Hits: Briere, Smith, Bryzgalov, Elias, Iginla, Laviolette, Byfuglien, Whitney and the Hurricanes
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 29th, 2013
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: If the Flyers buyout Daniel Briere, he could end up in Montreal.Coyotes Mike Smith is looking for $6 million a year and has refused to sign a deal with the Coyotes.
Smith could be an option in Philadelphia if they buyout Ilya Bryzgalov. Flyers management is split on buying him out now or waiting to see how he does next year, and if it’s not good, then buy him out next spring.
Garrioch has heard there is about a 50/50 chance that Patrick Elias returns to the Devils. The Flyers, Canadiens, Maple Leafs, Red Wings and Sharks will all be looking for help upfront.
Jarome Iginla signing with the Stars could be a good bet.
- Dave Isaac of the Courier Post: Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said you can expect Peter Laviolette back as the Flyers coach next season. They will keep the same system in place, and there won’t be an overhaul of players.
- Dave Isaac of the Courier Post: Flyers GM Paul Holmgren has said that Ilya Bryzgalov’s eccentric personality isn’t a problem. Forward Daniel Briere understands the situation. If the Flyers buy him out, it would cost them $3.3 million over four years.
- Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press: Lawless thinks that Jets Dustin Byfuglien needs to “either commit to excellence or be traded.”
- Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun: Oilers UFA defenseman Ryan Whitney thinks it’s probably in his best interests to get a fresh start somewhere else next season.
“I think I can still play, I’ve proven that I can,” Whitney said. “Obviously there were some games where I didn’t play well, but there were a stretch of games where I thought I did play well. It’s been a tough couple of years here, I’m just kind of looking forward to a fresh start.”
- Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer: Hurricanes Tuomo Ruutu will have hip surgery. GM Jim Rutherford likes his core group, but there will be some new faces next year. They have to decide on their UFAs: Chad LaRose, Tim Brent, Joe Corvo, Bobby Sanguinetti, Marc-Andre Bergeron and Dan Ellis. Their blue line will be a priority for Rutherford.

Free Agent notes involving: Getzlaf, Perry, Benn, Kulikov, Ellis and Sykora
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 14th, 2013
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Ducks GM Bob Murray on re-signing Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry.
“It’s my priority,” Murray said, addressing the topic on the first day of training camp Sunday at Honda Center. “They’ve been Anaheim Ducks. I love those guys. I’m going to do everything in my power to sign them.”
Both carry a cap hit of $5.325 million, and will likely command more. How high they will want to go could be the deciding factor if they are both to remain with the Ducks or not. Nick Bonino skated with Bobby Ryan and Teemu Selanne at practice yesterday. Saku Koivu skated with Dan Winnik and Andrew Cogliano.
- Nick Kypreos via twitter: Kypreos is hearing that the Stars made a Jamie Benn a multi-year offer worth as much as $5 million per season.
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: On Stars RFA Jamie Benn:
“I’m optimistic that we’ll have him back on the team, but it won’t be today,” Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk told ESPN.com on Sunday morning. “We’ll focus on the guys we have here because it’s a short camp and we need to get ready. But in the meantime, certainly we’ll keep working away at trying to get Jamie re-signed.”
- The Fourth Period: The Stars have made Benn an offer that is believed to be around $5.5 million per season.
“Playing without Benny could be difficult, but we’re focused on the players we have here,” Gulutzan told the Dallas Morning News. “Everything for Jamie is in place for him whenever he’s here. But we’re focused on the guys we have here.”
- George Richards of Miami Herald: Panthers RFA defenseman Dmitry Kulikov is not at camp. GM Dale Tallon said on Thursday that he’s been talking with Kulikov’s agent daily.
- Elliotte Friedman via twitter: The Hurricanes sign Dan Ellis to a 1 year, $650,000 deal.
- David Pagnotta via twitter: Petr Sykora continues to consider offers. Rich Chere via twitter: Devils GM Lou Lamoriello on Petr Sykora: ”Not at this point. We made a decision over the last 24-48 hours. We’re going to give some kids who played w\ell in the minors an opportunity.”
