Quick hits: waivers, Gomez signs, Redden and Gardiner activated, White out 2-3 weeks, Eaton gets ETO
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News on January 23rd, 2013
- Elliotte Friedman via twitter: The Blues put Jeff Woywitka on waivers. The Sharks put Tim Kennedy on waivers. As pointed about by some Sharks fans, Kennedy was playing on AHL only contract, and needed to go through waivers to sign an NHL contract.
- Kevin Kurz via twitter: The Sharks sign Scott Gomez to a 1 year deal worth $700,000.
- Andy Strickland via twitter: The Blues activate Wade Redden. Dave Eminian via twitter: The Blues also assign Ian Cole to the AHL. It’s a temporary move until Jeff Woywitka clears waivers. Cole will be back in St. Louis on Thursday.
- David Alter via twitter: Maple Leafs Jake Gardiner will be back in the lineup tonight. Korbinian Holzer was sent down to the Marlies.
- Ansar Khan via twitter: Red Wings defenseman Ian White will be out 2-3 weeks after having surgery for a deep cut this morning. Jakub Kindl will be back on Friday.

Blues dangling D for Scoring, also inquiring about Bergeron … No contract talks yet for Parise … Blues look into Kovalev … Laperriere clears room for Leighton
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on December 14th, 2010
- Andy Strickland of True Hockey: The St. Louis Blues continue to look for scoring help and could be moving out a defenseman. The Blues have also inquired about Marc-Andre Bergeron, and could bring in the power play specialist if they move a Dman out.
- Tom Gulitti of the Bergeron Record: Zach Parise has shed is immobilizing leg cast that he’s had on for 6 weeks. It will still be some time before he’s able to begin skating. Early February is when he might be able to return. The Devils have yet to approach Parise about a new contract.
- Helene Elliott via twitter: The LA Kings have activated Willie Mitchell and placed Brad Richardson on the IR.
- Andy Strickland of True Hockey: The Blues have looked into Senators forward Alexei Kovalev, and are not the only team. Ottawa isn’t looking for a contract that goes beyond this year. Kovalev has a no-movement clause. Still no word on when David Perron could return from his concussion. Tim Kennedy has been given permission to seek a trade by Glen Sather. The Penguins will be looking to sign Mark Letestu to an extension soon. Mike Modano is still hoping to return in March, but there is no guarantee, and the Red Wings may have concerns on the shape he’ll be in as he didn’t arrive at training camp in great shape.
- Adam JahnNo via twitter: Marian Hossa and Fernando Pisani skated yesterday, Patrick Kane could skate today.
- Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe: Dupont wonders if teams will call Panthers GM Dale Tallon about Erik Gudbranson. Florida was unable to come to terms with him before this season. Teams, such as the Bruins, may offer a roster player and swapping first round picks. Gudbranson isn’t going anywhere in my opinion.
- Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: Luke Schenn appears to be fine after taking a puck on the “unpadded part of the inside of his knee.” Mike Komisarek took part in the full practice and could play tonight if Ron Wilson chooses to insert him back in. Mike Brown will be out at least another 2 weeks.
- Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly: The Philadelphia Flyers placed Ian Laperriere on LTIR yesterday. Laperriere hasn’t played a game this season due to post-concussion symptoms. Matt Walker could be added to the IR as he was injured over the weekend. The Flyers had about $550,000 in cap space as of yesterday, and by placing Laperriere’s $1.166 million on LTIR, they’ll be able to add Michael Leighton’s $1.55 cap hit.
- David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: Sharks coach Todd McLellan said that Douglas Murray will skate today and will accompany the team to Nashville. Pollak also notes, as speculated in many places, that Evgeni Nabokov could end up in Washington or Tampa.
- Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Ben Eager and Niclas Bergfors were both healthy scratches again last night, it was their second consecutive game. Freddy Modin and Tim Stapleton replaced them.
- Buffalo News: Buffalo Sabres forward Drew Stafford practiced yesterday and could go on Wednesday night versus the Bruins.
Z. Michalek out 2-4 weeks … Lydman cleared to play … Berglund on the block? Avs-Devs talks done?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 14th, 2010
- Will DePaoli via twitter: Penguins defenseman Zbynek Michalek will be out 2-4 weeks.
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Toni Lydman has been cleared, but not sure when he’ll play his first game for the Anaheim Ducks.
- Andy Strickland of True Hockey: Stickland is hearing trade whispers involving Patrik Berglund of the St. Louis Blues.
- Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: With Brian Rolston going on LTIR, it might have ended the talk of a Colorado Avalanche-NJ Devils trade. The Avs could use some power play and/or defensive help. 16 scouts took in Tuesday’s Avs-Wings game. It was rumored a couple weeks ago that the Avs had interest in Jamie Langenbrunner.
- Brendan Hall of ESPN Boston: Bruins coach Claude Julien says Marc Savard is improving each day, but they won’t rush him along.
“He’s behind by at least a month, month and a half, already. We’ll have to be patient and give him a chance to come back. Right now, I don’t think there’s any reason why we should push this guy to get back, more than we should be helping him get back. That’s the thing we have to make sure we do here, is give him due time to make that comeback, and when he’s ready to make it, we’ll help him through it.”
- Jesse Spector via twitter: Rangers forward Tim Kennedy would need to go through re-entry waivers if they recalled him. Spector doesn’t think he’d get through re-entry, he also didn’t think he’d get through waivers to begin with.
- Toronto Sun: The NHLPA is investigating the New Jersey Devils for only using 15 skaters on Monday (used 16 last night), instead of the league minimum of 18. The NHLPA director of communications said, “We are currently reviewing this matter to ensure that the CBA is complied with and that any potential violation of the agreement is remedied,”
Drury ready for Friday … Rangers interested in B. Richards? Tavares out still … Ducks not interested in Souray … plus more
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 12th, 2010
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post: Rangers center Chris Drury should be ready to go for Friday’s home opener against the Maple Leafs. Drury has been out since September 20th with a broken finger. Erik Christensen suffered a groin and hamstring injury last night, so a roster move may not necessary if Christensen is placed on IR. If he’s not placed on IR, one of either Todd White ($2.376 million) or Tim Kennedy ($550,000) could be sent to the AHL, as both cleared waivers last week. Brooks thinks the Rangers could be interested in Brad Richards at some point this season, and would be interested in signing him long-term. John Tortorella, “I don’t want to jump the gun, but Step reminds me of a young Brad Richards in Tampa,”
- Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: If injured Philadelphia Flyers forward Ian Laperriere is forced to retire due to his eye injury, his $1.16 million would still count against the cap for the next 2 years since he signed his contract after he was 35. I’m sure the Flyers would see if they could leave him LTIR for both seasons, therefore not counting against the cap, see Mike Rathje.
- The NY York Times: New York Islanders forward John Tavares sat out last night’s game, and will miss their next one because of a concussion. Test came back normal yesterday, and he’ll trying skating today and tomorrow.
- Eric Stephens via twitter: The Ducks are not interested in Sheldon Souray if he was put on re-entry waivers.
- Bryan Mullen of the Tennessean: The Nashville Predators have recalled goalie Mark Dekanich as a precaution if Pekka Rinne his not able to go due a ‘lower-body-injury’. Rinne hasn’t practiced the last 2 days, but feels better, and is day-to-day.
- Mark Emmons of the San Jose Mercury News: Thomas Greiss was placed on waivers by the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. I’d be surprised if no one claimed him, he carries a $550,000 salary.
- Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger: The New Jersey Devils have put P.L. Letourneau-Leblond on waivers, and will be sent to the AHL if he clears. They are also expected to sign Adam Mair to a contract. Mair has been with the team on a tryout.
- Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: Kirk Maltby is expected to decide today if he’ll retire or report the AHL. If he retires, he’ll likely stay with the organization as a scout.
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Newly acquired Andres Lilja is waiting a new work visa before he’s allowed to suit up for the Anaheim Ducks. They hope the he’ll receive it this week.
Spezza’s groin injury … Souray to report to AHL today … Hodgson to AHL
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 8th, 2010
- Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen: Jason Spezza tweaked his groin in Wednesday’s practice, sat out yesterday, and it’s unsure if he’ll go in tonight’s opener. The Ottawa Senators also play tomorrow in Toronto and against the Capitals on Monday. The Senators won’t rush him back in fear of causing a longer term injury. Spezza didn’t talk to media but Clouston doesn’t seem that concerned about it. If Spezza is a no go, Ryan Shannon will step in.
- Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Sheldon Souray is expected to report to the AHL’s Hersey Bears today. It’s unsure if he’ll play in any games this weekend as he hasn’t really had a training camp. Bears coach doesn’t know when Souray will suit up, they’ll have a better idea after he arrives. The Oilers may leave him in the minors all season, not putting him on re-entry waivers.I personally think this goes beyond the money/trade demand aspect. I believe it’s also about making a statement for players coming to Edmonton (and current Oilers) then deciding they don’t want to play there. Players publicly saying they are unhappy or asking for a trade, basically handcuffing the team (something they tried to take advantage of last year with Danny Heatly). It may also send a message to other players on other teams to be careful what you wish for, as the consequences may not end up in your favor.
- Nick Kypreos via twitter: Souray is costing the Edmonton Oilers $25,000 a day to with the Hershey Bears. Kypreos thinks he’ll be re-entry waivers within 2 weeks, possibly saving the team half his salary/cap if he’s claimed.
- Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun: After Cody Hodgson practiced with the Canucks yesterday, he was assigned to the Manitoba Moose and will be in the lineup for them tonight. Peter Schaefer received a 2 way deal from the Canucks, $600,000 NHL, $105,000 AHL. The Canucks could announce their new captain Saturday night.
- Michael Russo via twitter: James Sheppard’s agent confirms that his client has been suspended by the Minnesota Wild for his off-season injury. Sheppard is on non-roster IR, not being being paid, not on Wild cap, but they are helping him with rehab.
- Jeff Klein of the NY Times: New York Rangers forward Tim Kennedy’s future is up in the air. He cleared waivers on Wednesday, but still remains with the club as an extra forward. When Chris Drury and Vinny Prospal return possibly later this month, his situation becomes even foggier.
Canucks trade O’Brien to Nashville … Isles grab Grabner … More players on waivers
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors, NHL Trades on October 5th, 2010
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: The Vancouver Canucks have traded Shane O’Brien and Dan Gendur to the Nashville Predators for Ryan Parent and Jonas Andersson.
- Michael Traikos via twitter: Matt Lashoff is on the ice with the Maple Leafs as the 7th defenseman. Jeff Finger was on the ice earlier but is not with the main group.

- 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.
Kovalchuk decision by Wednesday … Staal not looking for offer sheet … 5 teams interested in Kennedy … Penner to Kings?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on August 29th, 2010
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: The NHL has until Wednesday to decide if they are going to reject or accept the latest Ilya Kovalchuk contract. The contract is said to be 15 years and $100 million, a $6.67 million cap hit. The Devils will then have to shed more than $3 million in salary, plus an extra couple million for injury call-ups. Some say Lou has some deals ready to go if the contract is accepted. Dallas could be interested in Bryce Salvador ($2.9 million) and Dainius Zubrus ($3.4 million) could be moved.
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: The Kovalchuk saga could be coming to an end soon (thank god). Kovalchuk may have received some interest throughout this process from the Kings, Islanders, Stars, Blues and KHL SKA St. Petersburg. During Monday’s meeting with the league, Kovalchuk reportedly gave a weekend deadline for the leagues approval and threatened that the KHL could be possible.
- Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News: Tim Kennedy is still one of the unsigned forwards looking for an NHL contract. 5 teams have shown interest in Kennedy, possibly the Toronto Maple Leafs, Columbus Blue Jackets, Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Coyotes and Atlanta Thrashers. He thinks he can get a one-way contract but realizes he might have to take two-way deal.
- Chris Custance of the Sporting News: Getting an offer sheet isn’t being focused on by Marc Staal’s agent, Paul Krepelka. Krepelka said there is no truth to the rumor that they were hoping to get one.
- Matthew Barry (hockeybuzz) via twitter: The Edmonton Oilers are shopping Dustin Penner and the Los Angeles Kings are very interested.
Modano signing with the Wings … What now for Niemi? Mitchell symptom free, 12 teams inquiring
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on August 3rd, 2010
- Helen St. James of the Detroit Free Press: Mike Modano will be signing with the Detroit Red Wings, the official announcement most likely coming on Thursday. Modano has been offered a 1 year, $1.25 million deal.
- James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail: Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman had been talking with Marty Turco for over a month. Turco had turned down 4 teams before signing with the Hawks, including a 3 year deal from the Flyers. He turned down more money, and longer term. Bowman will now look to rid himself of Cristobal Huet’s salary, minors or overseas. Niemi is now a UFA, but there may not be many teams looking to add a goalie. 3 possible destinations could be Philadelphia, Washington, and San Jose. Though Washington has said they’re happy with their 2 young goalies, and San Jose is happy with Niittymaki and Greiss.
- Tim Panacci of the CSNPhilly: Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said yesterday that they are not interested Antti Niemi.
- Chris Kuc via twitter: 4 teams inquired about Antti Niemi right after the Blackhawks walked away, another called later.
- Tim Sassone of the Daily Herald: With the Blackhawks matching San Jose’s offer sheet for Niklas Hjalmarsson of 4 years and $14 million, it probably cost them Antti Niemi. Hjarlmarsson probably got a $1 million more per season than they had probably hoped.
- Larry Brooks via twitter: Ilya Kovalchuk hearing starts tomorrow.
- Sportsnet.ca: Willie Mitchell has been symptom free from his concussion for the last 3 weeks while training, has had up to 12 teams interested. Mitchell has narrowed the list down to 4: Canucks, Red Wings, Sharks and Capitals.
- Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News: The Buffalo Sabres have waived Tim Kennedy. Kennedy was awarded $1 million through arbitration on Friday. The Sabres were not allowed to walk away from the salary as it was too low. If he’s not picked up by someone, they could buy him out for a $333,333.33 cap hit for the next 2 years.
- Kevin Mio of Habs Inside/Out: Glen Metropolit signed a 2 year deal with EV Zug in Switzerland.
Canucks to be $4 million over cap … Devils could get fined … Stralman-Jackets far apart
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News on July 25th, 2010
- Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: The league did try to get a maximum of 5 year and 7 year contracts in the last CBA, but the PA wouldn’t go for it unless they were granted other terms. If the Maple Leafs found takers for Jeff Finger and Mikhail Grabovski, their free cap room number would be about $8 million. The Vancouver Canucks could be about $4 million over the cap after Mason Raymond’s arbitration case this week.
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: There is the possibility that the NHL will fine the New Jersey Devils a $1 million (up to $5 million) for circumventing the CBA. Kovalchuk could get between $250,000 and a $1 million fine. The NHLPA has until tomorrow afternoon to file a grievance.
- Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: The Blue Jackest and Anton Stralman are about $1 million apart, arbitration is set for Wednesday. If Stralman’s ruling is too high, the club may walk away.
- Craig Custance of the Sporting News: Paul Martin took a 5 year, $25 million deal from the Penguins on July 1st over other offers from Los Angeles, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Toronto.
- Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: The Sabres continue to talk with Tim Kennedy, his arbitration hearing is set for July 27th. The Sabres don’t have any trade talks going on at the moment.
- William DePaoli (insidepghsports) via twitter: The Penguins haven’t talked to Paul Kariya, and it’s probably not going to happen.
