Looking at legal action against Cherry … Crosby could be cleared for contact … Stars may need to add to get to floor … Kadri healing quickly

Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News on October 11th, 2011

  • James Mirtle via twitter: Stu Grimson, Chris Nilan and Jim Thomson are “considering further recourse” against Don Cherry. “Cherry’s comments were … baseless and slanderous.” Josh Cooper via twitter: Stu Grimson: “Further recourse does include an investigation into what legal recourse might be available to this group.”
  • Pat Leonard of the NY Daily News: Rangers defenseman is still receiving treatment for a his headaches and likely won’t be with the team this week. Tortorella received word on Saturday that Staal was “feeling good.” Asked if he’s prepared for a long-term Staal absence, Tortorella said: “I don’t know if you prepare that way. We just – whoever’s out there practicing, we’re preparing. And if someday Marc comes in and he’s there, we’re gonna prepare him the best we can to play a game.”
  • Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News: So with Sean Avery’s salary cap number not counting against the Dallas Stars cap number while he’s on the AHL, it may require them to add someone to make sure they don’t fall below the cap floor. The new player they add may have to make $1.2 million or more. Winger Tomas Vincour is only at $800,000 so he may have to move to the AHL for a more expensive player. Some free agents GM Joe Nieuwendyk could look at: Mike Grier, John Madden, Sergei Samsonov, Steve Bernier, Chris Clark, and Michael Nylander.
  • Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune: Lightning defenseman Mattias Ohlund will be out for up to a month as he’ll be having arthroscopic surgery on both knees today. He’s already on the IR, and hasn’t skated since Sept. 29th. “I’m going to say four to six weeks, but it really depends on how he feels, so it could be before that,” Yzerman said. The Lightning already have 7 healthy defenseman on the roster so it’s unlikely they look to acquire someone.
  • Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News: The Red Wings power play is 0 for 9 to start the season, so they’ll try Jiri Hudler on the wing during Thursday’s game against the Canucks.
  • Eric Stephenson of the OC Register: Recently acquired Kyle Cumiskey is expected to head to the Ducks AHL team. Goalie Jeff Deslauriers and winger Brian McGrattan need to clear waivers before they can head to Syracuse.
  • Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun: Leafs forward Nazem Kadri is recovering quickly, “The little bastard is back faster than I was led to believe,” Wilson said. Kadri suffered a knee injury in late September and may find himself playing for the Marlies for a bit to shed some rust. He was expected to be out 3 to 4 weeks, but is back on the ice after only 2.

  • Tomas Kaberle Audio from AM 640: “We don’t want to distract the team or anything like that,” said Kaberle. “If I’m no [longer] needed on this team then we can talk about it. Obviously we’ve still got 12 days to go and like I said right now it’s nothing to talk about.”
  • Brian Burke Audio from the Fan 590: Burke talks with Greg Brady, Nick Kypreos and Doug Maclean about Grabovski and concussion question, Tomas Kaberle situation, Beauchem and Versteeg trades, Phil Kessel, and Mike Komisarek’s struggles
  • Dustin Byfuglien Audio from the Fan 590: “Dustin Byfuglien joins Hockey Central to talk about his new contract with the Thrashers, his time with the Trashers so far and his experience at the NHL all-star game this year.”
  • Don Cherry Audio – Grapeline from the Fan 590: “Don speaks out against Mario Lemieux’s threat to leave the NHL if fighting isn’t taken seriously.” Cherry calls Lemieux a phony and a hypocrite.

If anyone knows any other radio stations/sites that offer audio for individuals interviews, please let me know as I’ve only found a couple. My email address can be found in the ‘contact’ tab.
