More on the Canadiens … Ryan and Ducks talking … Marleau to Toronto? Jacob Markstrom coming to North America?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on May 26th, 2010
- Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail: The Montreal Canadiens will have $13-14 million to fill out 9 roster spots. That is not a lot play when players like Tomas Plekanec, Jaroslav Halak and/or Carey Price are due for raises, if they want to keep them. Gordon thinks Halak’s price could be in the $3.55 million range, similar to Kari Lehtonen. Halak doesn’t want to think hockey right now, saying he needs a vacation. GM Pierre Gauthier will consider all options involving both goalies, even if it won’t be popular with fans. Signing Dominic Moore could be a priority for the team. The Habs will probably look to deal Roman Hamrlik, and the Kostitsyn brothers this summer.
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Bobby Ryan’s agent, Don Meehan, confirmed yesterday that he’s had recent talks with the Anaheim Ducks regarding a contract extension, and expects more meetings in the upcoming weeks. It doesn’t sound like a deal will happen soon, but both sides appear to want to get something worked out over the summer.
- Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail: Do Globe and Mail writers require a ‘comment quota’ they need to reach each month? The article title says it all “Marleau to Toronto makes sense” … It doesn’t make sense if Marleau wants to win a cup soon. Sure the Leafs would probably love to have this guy, but don’t count on it happening.
- George Richards of the Miami Herald: Panthers GM Dale Tallon met with top goalie prospect Jacob Markstrom about coming over to North America next season. If/when he’s signed, they’d ideally like him to get some action in the AHL to get adjusted to the North American style of play. The Panthers still have Tomas Vokoun and Scott Clemmensen under contract, but if a taker could be found for Vokoun, I’d be surprised if they didn’t move him and have Markstrom battle for the #1 spot.
- Columbus Dispatch: One of the top candidates for the Columbus Blue Jackets head coach position, may also now be a top contender for the Tampa Bay Lightning position. Newly hired GM Steve Yzerman and Kevin Dineen have a strong friendship dating back years. The Blue Jackets are still waiting to meet with Guy Boucher of the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs, who play game 7 tonight.

Dominic Moore Traded To Montreal
Posted by Derek in NHL News, NHL Opinion, NHL Trades on February 11th, 2010
“The Florida Panthers have traded forward Dominic Moore to the Montreal Canadiens for a second-round pick in the 2011 draft.
The trade call to confirm the deal is currently being placed with the NHL.
Moore, 29, has eight goals and nine assists in 48 games for Florida. He is earning $1.1 million this season and becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.” (Source:TSN)
I’d hate to say “I told you so” but Moore had a decent chance last season with Toronto but wanted more money then he was realistically worth. It was common opinion at the time that he should’ve taken the roughly $1.5 mil (I can’t remember exactly what he was being offered in Toronto, but it was fair market value..) per season he was being offered and tried to build momentum towards his next deal. Instead, he opted to force the issue and was traded to the Buffalo Sabers, and his career has been sliding downward ever since…
He was getting first line ice time in Toronto and felt he was deserving of money to reflect the production he was achieving, but let’s face it, his numbers with the Leafs reflected the fact he was getting first line ice time and power play time, luxuries I doubt he’ll enjoy with the Habs. It’s too bad but greed motivated his decision.

Around the Boards – Oct. 5th
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 5th, 2009
The NHLPA is following in the NHL footsteps in having a negative situation surrounding it’s association. The NHLPA’s firing of Paul Kelly continues to be in the news.
The Florida Panthers have signed center Dominic Moore to a 1 year, $1.1 million deal. File this one under the category “Damn, I blew that one”. Moore was reportedly offered a contract by the Maple Leafs last season worth around $4-5 million for 2 years, Moore thought he was worth more. Moore recorded 41 points in 63 games with the Leafs and Sabres. Moore saw plenty of ice time with Leafs which led to his exaggerated stats, he struggled in Buffalo. Burke stole a 2nd round pick for him at the deadline.
So after 3 days to open the 2009-10 NHL season, the geniuses behind the NHL scheduling don’t schedule a game for Sunday night, only 2 for Monday. I don’t get it.
Toews and Kane may be split up, for the time being at least. Kane was lined up with Dave Bolland and Dustin Byfuglien in Finland. Toews, Sharp and Versteeg makes up a solid line.
Ron Wilson has told Vesa Toskala and Jonas “The Monster” Gustavsson who will start the next game, Wilson isn’t telling the media as of yet.
The Rangers are searching for defencemen, and might have to make a trade to get one. They have only 6 Dmen, with 2 of them being rookies, Matt Gilroy and Michael Del Zotto.
