Patrick Marleau and the Sharks are both interested in signing a contract extension. Will there be room? The Panthers are reportedly in talks with Jay Bouwmeester to extend his contract. That Penner/Vanek thing is scaring the hell out of a lot of teams. Steve Sullivan underwent a second back surgery. He is on the shelf until December [...]
Live in the GTA? READ THIS The rumored Milan Michalek deal is now official - he has been signed for six years. Bryan Berard has been invited to training camp by the New York Islanders. With Bergeron, Witt, Martinek, Sutton, Gervais, Johnson, Campoli and Meyer already there, I'm not sure what chance Berard has of cracking [...]
Nikita Alexeev has signed a deal with Ak Bars Kazan of the RSL. One of many Russians that are fleeing back to their country for better money. Hell, NHLers of all backgrounds are finding the RSL appealing - Daniel Tjarnqvist, who started last season as Edmonton's quarterback on their power play, has also signed with [...]

As expected, Trevor Linden has now signed with the Canucks. His production will be similar to last year's. LINK is fixed below... Some free advertising for Dobber - thanks guys! The FAN590 Hockey Central at noon asked for some good hockey sources. Someone called in and raved about DobberHockey. Here is the LINK . The secret is [...]
Patrick Lebeau has been invited to the Flyers training camp. Remember him? Doubtful he'll crack the squad. For the first time in about 10 months, ramblings were missing for a day. It's not that I didn't look, or try - there was just no news to speak of. We have hit rock bottom for the summer [...]
