Sabres to get Connolly, Myers back … Rangers lose Christensen … Whitney in walking cast … Thrashers have offers for Bergfors
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors, NHL Videos on December 31st, 2010
- John Vogl of the Buffalo News: The Buffalo Sabres will get Tim Connolly back tomorrow night after missing 4 games with a fractured nose. Tyler Myers has missed the last couple games with an illness should be back as well. Patrick Kaleta suffered an upper body injury on Tuesday and is likely out tomorrow.
- Jesse Spector of the NY Daily News: Erik Christensen will be out of the Rangers lineup for 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL.
- Joanne Ireland of the Edmonton Journal: Oilers defenseman Ryan Whitney is wearing a walking cast. When the swelling goes down he’ll be heading to see a specialist, which might not be for another couple of weeks. The best case scenario could see him only missing a month but it will likely be longer than that.
- Katie Strang of Newsday: Kyle Okposo has been skating in full gear recently but won’t join the NY Islanders on their upcoming 11 day road trip.
- Bob McKenzie via twitter: The Vancouver Canucks have put Ryan Parent on waivers. Boston’s Wyatt Smith cleared waivers.
- Kevin Allen of the USA Today: The Atlanta Thrashers are looking to move Niclas Bergfors as coach Craig Ramsey doesn’t seem to think that Bergfors fits into the teams style of play. They have several offers for him and his $900,000 contract. Allen thinks they are probably trying to get a better pick or prospect, and might be looking to get a 2nd round pick or an advanced prospect for him. They aren’t looking for a roster player for him.
- Stamkos was one of the Tampa players who complained about Linus Omark’s hot dogging spin-o-rama, but he pulled a nice one last night ….
More starting goalies and Chelios likely not going to the KHL
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on November 26th, 2010
- Dan Murphy via twitter: “Its highly unlikely the Canucks would trade Bieksa before Salo is healthy, and that is mid December at BEST. The more D-men the merrier IMO.”
- Dan Murphy via twitter: Roberto Luongo will start for the Canucks. Defenseman Ryan Parent was sent to Manitoba on a conditioning stint.
- Chris Vivlamore via twitter: Ondrej Pavelec will start for the Thrashers against the Canadiens.
- Jonas Siegel via twitter: Mike Brown is not at morning skate, Luca Caputi taking his place.
- Rich Chere via twitter: Johan Hedberg starting for the Devils.
- Rich Chere via twitter: Martin Brodeur will skate this weekend on his own.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: Chris Chelios said he’s “just sniffing it out”, referring to the KHL reports. Also added that, “it’s not likely to happen.”
Parise visits doctors today … Ballard to return tonight? 10 teams looking for Dmen … New Leaf lines … Langkow’s return 50-50?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on November 1st, 2010
- Tom Gulitti of the Bergon Record: Zach Parise will see a doctor today to find out how serious his lower body injury is. Parise said he originally suffered the injury in his summer training while skating. “It’s been bothering me,” he told me. “I know exactly when I hurt it. I hurt it in August and it’s been bothering me. It hasn’t gone away. I kind of hurt it every game.”
- Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun: Keith Ballard made it through weekend practices with the Vancouver Canucks and could return Monday night. He will likely be a game time decision according to Vigneault. Dan Hamhuis skated for 20 minutes yesterday but still felt some discomfort in his foot. Ryan Parent left yesterday’s practice early with a groin strain.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: Daniel Briere has a hearing via conference call scheduled for today at 10am regarding his stick work to the head on Saturday night (video of incident can be seen in yesterday’s post). Briere has 8 instances since 2005 where he received a warning, fine or suspension according to John Shannon.
- Bruce Garrioch in the Toronto Sun: There may be as many as 10 teams looking for defenseman, including the Senators, Lightning, Kings and Sharks. The Senators are dangling Brian Lee. The Ducks have said they’d trade Paul Mara. The Oilers have Sheldon Souray and his broken hand. Kevin Bieksa will likely become available by the Canucks at some point when their defensive corps gets healthy. The city of Glendale and Matthew Hulsizer are still working on the details of the lease. Glendale will cover some of the losses from the Coyotes but only if he won’t move the team. If he moves the team within 5 years, they’ll want their money back. The Dallas Stars are averaging under 14,000 fans a game and may have to deal Brad Richards before the deadline; “They might have to do it to save cash, but that just doesn’t make sense to me,” said one league executive. “They’ve got a chance to have a pretty good team. They should be trying to add, not subtract.” The New Jersey Devils have been fielding calls regarding Patrick Elias, but he has a no-movement clause with 2 years left on his contract and would likely want to stay with the Devils. The Phoenix Coyotes are trying to move Petr Prucha and his $1.1 million salary.
- Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun: It may be 50-50 chance that Calgary Flames center Daymond Langkow is able to return from a neck injury he sustained last year. He was shut down last week after feeling numbness below the waist during an intensive workout.
- Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: The Maple Leafs are looking for some more scoring from the lineup, have juggled the lines yesterday at practice. Mike Brown – Kris Versteeg – Tim Brent, Luca Caputi – Phil Kessel – Tyler Bozak, Mikhail and Nikolai Kulemin – Clarke MacArthur – Grabovski, and Fredrik Sjostrom – Colton Orr – Christian Hanson.
- Eric Francis in the Toronto Sun: The Calgary Flames could move Ian White at some point this season. White will be a UFA at season’s end, with the signing of Mark Giordano to a long term deal and the emergence of TJ Brodie, White could be expendable if they are out of the playoff race.
- Jesse Spector via twitter: No truth to the rumor of Mats Zuccarello leaving the Rangers AHL team.
- Chip Alexander via twitter: Look for Justin Peters to get the start on Monday for the Carolina Hurricanes.
- Dmitry Chesnokov via twitter: Evgeny Artyukhin passed his 2nd medicals with SKA and will make his debut tomorrow.
- Dan O’Neill of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Carlo Colaiacovo’s return to the Blues lineup is not known after taking a hit from Jordan Tootoo last week. He’s still experience neck spasms and will have to undergo further tests.
Savard passes baseline test, still weeks away … Maloney says Yandle rumors are “Utter fantasy” … Doughty out this weekend … Tootoo under review (video)
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors, NHL Videos on October 29th, 2010
- Andy Strickland of True Hockey: Sources have told Strickland that Marc Savard passed his baseline test, but is still weeks away from returning. He’s been skating but hasn’t practiced with the team yet. The Bruins may have told Blake Wheeler’s agent that they won’t be trading him because they like his age and upside. The Bruins have been scouting the Phoenix Coyotes.
- Craig Custance of the Sporting News: Phoenix Coyotes GM Don Maloney on Keith Yandle trade rumors, “Listen, that was just pure, utter fantasy. Keith is an important part of our future. He knows it,” Maloney said. “Not that anybody can’t be traded … But it would have to be something very special.” Maloney did have coffee with Peter Chiarelli in Ottawa which helped spark trade rumors. Maloney spoke with Yandle’s agent in the summer about an extension, but things are on hold until the owner situation has stabilized.
- Helene Elliott of the LA Times: It doesn’t look like Drew Doughty will be returning this weekend, as he had some returning symptoms the other day. After Saturday’s game, they don’t play until next Thursday.
- Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun: Alex Burrows return the Vancouver Canucks lineup is getting closer and it could mean that one of Jeff Tambellini, Peter Schaefer or Guillaume Desbiens could be out. The cap ramifications of Burrows could also impact Ryan Parent ($900,000), though injuries to their blueline complicate that move.
- Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer: The Philadelphia Flyers demoted Nik Zherdev to the 4th line at practice and would not talk to reporters after. Two games ago he was taken off the power-play unit and is averaging about 12 1/2 minutes per game.
- CP in the Globe and Mail: Alex Auld will get the start in net tonight for the Montreal Canadiens. Carey Price will be back between the pipes tomorrow. Andrei Markov will also make his return to the Canadiens lineup on Saturday.
- Joe Haggerty via twitter: Tyler Seguin will not be returned to Junior.
- Helene Elliott via twitter: Wayne Simmonds only played 1 shift in the 3rd after suffering a lower-body injury.
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Anaheim Ducks forward Matt Beleskey has been placed on IR after suffering a concussion on Tuesday after being hit by Stephane Robidas, who received a 5-minute boarding penalty and earned a 1 game suspension.
- Fan 960 Audio: Craig Conroy looks back at his career, before his 1,000 game last night.
- I’m sure people have been telling Dion Phaneuf to hit the net more often, but he was showing symptoms of ‘Jason Blake-itis’ last night, shooting pucks into the middle of the chest of the opposing goalies. The next stage of this illness is flutter wrist shots from the side boards at terrible angles.
- Jordan Tootoo’s hit on Carlo Colaiacovo will be looked at the league.

- Chris Botta of NYI Point Blank: The New York Islanders have claimed Michael Grabner off waivers from the Florida Panthers.
- Kevin Allen via twitter: The New York Rangers have placed Todd White and Tim Kennedy on waivers. The Detroit Red Wings have placed Derek Meech and Kirk Maltby on waivers. Andrew Gross via twitter: Rangers GM Glen Sather said that putting White and Kennedy on waivers creates some cap flexibility in case they want to take on a contract at a later date.
- Andy Strickland via twitter: The St. Louis Blues have assigned Ian Cole to Peoria.
Dan Hamhuis traded to the Philadelphia Flyers
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Trades on June 19th, 2010
TSN: Well so much for the any interest the Maple Leafs had in signing Dan Hamhuis. The Nashville Predators have sent unrestricted free agent defenseman Dan Hamhuis to the Philadelphia Flyers, along with a conditional 2011 7th round pick, for defenseman Ryan Parent.
If Philadelphia doesn’t sign Hamhuis, the 7th round pick will be transferred to the Flyers. If Philadelphia isn’t able to sign him, and trades his rights, Nashville keeps the pick. Obviously, the Flyers have every intention to sign him. They showed interest in trading for him at the trade deadline.
Hamhuis recorded 24 points in 78 games, and will give the Flyers one of the better defensive corps in the league. In 483 games, he’s scored 32 goals and added 129 assists for 161 points.
Ryan Parent was originally drafted by the Predators in 2005, 18th overall, but went to Philadelphia along with Scottie Upshaw and a 1st and 3rd round pick in 2007 for Peter Forsberg.
Coyotes Staying in Phoenix? Sergei Kostitsyn done in Montreal … Flyers free agents
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on May 8th, 2010
- Scott Burnside of ESPN: Sources have told ESPN Friday night that the Ice Edge Holdings group and city of Glendale are going to sign a letter of exclusivity on Monday, as they’ve agreed on all points on in a new lease agreement. The memorandum won’t be officially submitted to the city for voting until the city and NHL come to agreement on several points, which will be discussed on Tuesday. The NHL wants the city to cover the operating losses for the team if an owner is not found by next year, which could be in the $20-30 million range. If all goes well, it could still take 4-8 weeks before a deal could be finalized. Check out yesterday’s post on Coyotes situation for some more background on what’s been happening.
- Bob McKenzie of TSN: Sergei Kostitsyn has worn out his welcome in Montreal. The players, coaches and managment have about had it with him. He’s a skilled player and could help them out now, but he’s got a bad work ethic and a terrible attitude. Players may be wanting to send him away right away, but coaches and managment are trying to keep this distraction to a minimum.
- Chuck Gormley of the Courier-Post: Gormley looks at the Flyers free agent situation this summer. Aaron Asham, Michael Leighton and Lukas Krajicek have all stated they’d like to return, but no word yet from management if there is an interest in bringing them back. Ray Emery isn’t expected to get a contract offer. The Flyers will most likely send qualifying offers to RFAs Daniel Carcillo, Darroll Powe, Braydon Coburn, and Ryan Parent.
- John Vogl of the Buffalo News: The Buffalo Sabres will be looking for a backup goalie this summer. Patrick Lalime is an option, but I doubt it, they didn’t seem to trust him that much down the stretch to give Miller the time off that he needed. Martin Biron is probably the leading candidate, though they can’t really admit it as he’s still under contract with the Islanders. The Sabres could also go ‘in-house’ with the 21-year old Jhonas Enroth who’s been in the AHL the past 2 seasons.
- Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News: Kirk Maltby’s final practice/game could be approaching. Currently he plans on training this summer like he’ll be returning, but he’s unsure if it will be with the Red Wings. The 37-year old is a UFA at seasons end, may not get a contract offer from the Wings, and may not see himself in another uniform.

“That’s kind of what we’re hoping for and kind of what we’ve heard — that the financial situation right now is not where it needs to be to get the deal done,” Hamhuis said. “We’re hoping that with making the playoffs and making the playoff run, that with some money generated from that, that maybe at the end of the season, something could be worked out.”
Around the Boards: Devils Interested in Koivu and Neidermayer? Gainey Wants to Re-sign Plekanec, Bergeron Breaks Hand, and plenty more …
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 6th, 2010
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: The New Jersey Devils are on a roll, but still might look to add to their roster by the trade deadline. Saku Koivu and/or Scott Neidermayer could be possibilities.
- John Mackinnon of the Edmonton Journal: Oilers fans may have to wait until closer to the trade deadline day to see some changes to the roster. “Unless you’re getting close to the (March 3 NHL trading) deadline, where people actually want to make deals — there’s the odd one that takes place — but normally things don’t change a lot,” Tambellini said in a telephone interview from Saskatoon where he is attending the world junior hockey championship.
- Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette: Montreal Canadiens GM Bob Gainey hopes to be able to re-sign Tomas Plekanec, but that could be easier said than do. The Canadiens already have $45 million in salaries for next season and the Plekanec has been rumored to be looking for around $7 million a season. Plekanec is making $2.75 million this season.
- Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe: Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron will miss at least 2 weeks with a broken right thumb after taking a shot off of his hand Monday night. He’ll be back in plenty of time to take part in the Olympics for Team Canada.
- Chris Botta of NYI Point Black: It looks like Rick DiPietro will be between the pipes for the New York Islanders at some point during their 3 game road trip to Colorado, Dallas and Phoenix.
- Robert Tychkowski of Slam! Sports: Things aren’t looking good for Nikolai Khabibulin and his disc problem, and it’s looking more like he’s done for the season.
- Frank Seravalli of teh Philadelphia News: Philadelphia Flyers defenceman, Ryan Parent, who has not skated for 11 days with a lower body injury/back injury. GM Paul Holgren said he’s to start skating in a few days, with a return about 2 weeks away. But now it’s being reported that Parent has a herniated disc, and saw a second doctor yesterday. That doesn’t sound like good news if you are to begin skating a couple days.
- Chris McCosky of the Detroit News: Johan Franzan is back on skates, but is still not close to returning to the Red Wings lineup. Franzan tore his ACL back on Oct. 8th, and isn’t expected back for another 2 months. Jason Williams isn’t expected back until the end of the month at the earliest. Henrik Zetterberg and Danny Cleary are hopeful of returning Thursday night.
- Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer: Another injury for the Carolina Hurricanes to deal with, as Scott Walker will be out 4 to 6 weeks after shoulder surgery. WIth Sergei Samsonov also sidelined, the ‘Canes recalled Zach Boychuk and Jiri Tlusty.
