It looks as if the Coyotes have given up on Radim Vrbata. It would seem that Vrbata is negotiating based on his first half - whereas the Yotes are negotiating based on the entire season. Vrbata will be a UFA, and if I were you I would quietly shop him. His situation in Phoenix was [...]
It's official - Michel Leighton will back up Cam Ward in the fall after the Canes signed him to a two-year, one-way deal this morning. He'll be an excellent addition as a third goalie on your team. Ward is still prone to slumps. The Red Wings have given coach Mike Babcock a three-year extenstion. Pavel Brendl [...]
Someone in the forum wondered if I was implying that Bergeron will somehow replace Burns in my ramblings below. I didn't imply that at all. I said that it could hurt Brent Burns, which is true. If Burns' power-play time is reduced by one single second per game as a result of this - than [...]

The Edmonton Sun is reporting that Riley Nash is impressing in development camp. The 19-year-old two-way pivot is three years away from making the big club, and should be a second-line center. He is fully profiled in the Fantasy Prospects Report, and currently ranks 69th on the Fantasy Prospects List. Tomorrow, Blake Wheeler becomes a free [...]
The Edmonton Oilers traded Danny Syvret to the Philadelphia Flyers for Ryan Potulny.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Malkin was fighting a virus for the first week and a half of the Final and he had trouble keeping food down. That explains a lot.
