Sutter steps down in Calgary …. Rolston assigned to AHL with purpose of re-entry waivers … Svatos signs with Blues … Starting goalies

Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on December 28th, 2010

  • TSN: Darryl Sutter has stepped down as the Calgary Flames general manager effective immediately. Jay Feaster, who was the teams assistant GM, will take over as GM .

    “We will move forward under a new administration with Jay leading our hockey operations as Acting General Manager,” said King. “For the remainder of this season, Jay will be provided the opportunity to evaluate the team from the GM’s chair and build a long term plan. We believe that while we continue to compete for a playoff position this season, this period will provide both the organization and Jay time to decide on critical future decisions.”

  • Tom Gulitti via twitter: Brian Rolston has been assigned to the AHL and will be placed on re-entry waivers. Darren Dreger via twitter: Rolston will be available for half price, a couple teams said they would be interested in him on re-entry when he was originally waived. Capgeek via twitter: If he’s claimed on re-entry waivers, he’ll still count $2,531,250 against the cap.
  • Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Marek Svatos signs with the St. Louis Blues. A 2-way deal that will pay him $800,000 in the NHL and $105,000 in the AHL. He must clear waivers first because he was playing in the KHL before.
  • Arthur Staple via twitter: Michael Del Zotto did not practice due to groin injury, and may not play tomorrow (may not have played even if groin was fine).
  • Will DePaoli via twitter: It doesn’t look like Jordan Staal will be playing in the Winter Classic. He’ll have more x-rays tonight.

Changes coming in Calgary … Rynnas has a list of teams to visit … Mueller out Indefinitely.

Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries on April 7th, 2010

  • George Johnson of the Calgary Herald: Flames GM Darryl Sutter’s blueprint and makeover has failed … again. His status in the organization, as well as team president Ken King, will be in question. It’s been rumored for awhile that Sutter is on the hotseat, and I personally think Sutter will be gone. There will also be the debate if Jarome Iginla should be dealt, he scored only 1 goal in the last 2 weeks.
  • Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province: The Canucks get some good news in that defenseman Christian Ehrhoff will be ready for the playoffs after injurying his left knee. But that good news will be over shadowed by Ryan Johnson breaking his foot blocking a shot, and will be out 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Finnish free agent goalie Jussi Rynnas has already met with Dallas and talked to Edmonton’s assistant GM on Saturday. Rynnas has meetings with Anaheim, Philadelphia, and Montreal scheduled.
  • Stephen Harris of the Boston Herald: Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference will not be back for any regular season games. He’s been out since March 25th with a hernia injury, and is skating, but the area is still pretty swollen. They are hoping he can return for the playoffs.

Trouble looming for Sutter and Babcock? NHL in Sochi? Kaberle again …

Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on March 7th, 2010

  • Darren Dreger of TSN: If the Calgary Flames don’t make the playoffs after all the changes they made to ‘improve’ their team, GM Darryl Sutter could get axed. He made a bold move in trading Dion Phaneuf without bringing in a star, and changed almost a 1/3 of their roster before the deadline.
  • Chris McCosky of the Detroit News: Red Wings coach Mike Babcock has to be worried deep down inside about his goaltending situation. If Jimmy Howard struggles down the stretch, or in the playoffs, Babcock may have to ride it out. You see, his back up goalie, Chris Osgood, doesn’t play that often any more and will most likely be rusty. Osgood has only started 3 games in the last 3 months.
  • Hockey Night in Canada Hotstove Video: Will the NHL go the Olympics in Sochi? The success of the Vancouver games could be a bargining chip for Bettman.
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Garrioch thinks Tomas Kaberle will be moved before the Draft. His 3 team list could have been the Bruins, Flyers and Rangers.
  • Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: Simmons thinks the Maple Leafs have to either trade Tomas Kaberle this summer, or sign him to an extension. It’s a tough decision, for every ‘if’, there is a ‘but’ … Some good lines from Simmons:
    • “The latest scorecard on the Phil Kessel trade: Both teams are losers at this point. The Bruins don’t have scoring from the wing. The Leafs don’t have those much-needed high draft choice”
    • “Everything about John Mitchell looks like an NHL player. And then the game begins”
    • “A medal update after four NHL Olympic hockey tournaments: Finland 3, Canada, USA, Czech Republic and Russia 2, Sweden 1. And how does that make sense?”
    • “Yzerman, by the way, should be the leading candidate for every available GM job now: He has grown by leaps as a public person and hockey administrator the last 12 pressure-filled months”
