<li>@APortzline was reporting that the Blue Jackets were offered all of the New York Islanders' picks to move up two spots in the draft.</li>
<li>It looked like Nash to Ottawa was a done deal, but apparently, Ottawa is not on Nash's list and is holding up the deal.</li>
<li>So much for the Pavlec going to KHL rumors. He's signed a new deal for 5 years worth $19.5M. According to Bob McKenzie of TSN it breaks down to <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">$<span style="line-height: 18px;">3.25M for year one, $3.5M for year two, $3.75M for year three, $4.25M for year four, and $4.75M for year five.</span> </span>This is interesting seeing that there were rumors the KHL offered him $5M tax free...</li>

<br />
<ul><li>Tim Thomas has waived his NMC. It was set to expire on July 1st. Teams just on the cap floor may be interested in his services. However, it will not affect his decision on returning.</li>
<li>Keith Yandle is in play, and teams such as the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues are involved, and players like Brandon Dubinsky are being named in return.</li>
<li>According to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: <span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">As for Nash trade? Howson said no offers are close. "They have a ways to go yet."</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Renaud Lavoie of RDS is reporting that the Philadelphia Flyers are trying to move up in the draft. The Anaheim Ducks' 6th overall pick is being named.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">According to @NHLWiki the Ottawa Senators are now the front runners for Columbus Blue Jackets' Rick Nash with the offering being Ben Bishop, Mika Zibanejad, and Nick Foligno.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">The 2013 Draft will take place in New Jersey and Philadelphia in 2014.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">According to Team 1200 in Ottawa, the last issue before the Rich Nash deal is done, is budget.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Swiss star Damien Brunner has signed a one year deal with the Detroit Red Wings.</span></li>

This is because the Oilers have a lot of blue chip forwards such as Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle, and Hall, but do not have any defence prospects. Drafting Murray would give them an NHL defenceman that is young, good, and a good core for the future.Alson Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14411529833893865343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011311592994700962.post-67685607373560424702012-06-22T13:29:00.003-04:002012-06-22T13:29:50.109-04:00Bobrovsky Traded to Columbus for 3 Draft PicksSergei Bobrovsky has been traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for 3 draft picks including a 2nd round draft pick (45th overall) and the 117th overall (originally belonging to Phoenix.) This should solve the franchise goalie problem Columbus was having.

Darren Millard is also reporting a deal is almost close. However, it is not currently known who would he bring back or where he would go. However, I personally believe that since it's so close to the Draft, if he is to be traded, it will be on the Draft Floor.<br />

Before this rumor, he was also rumored to be on the shortlist of Head Coaches for the Manitoba Moose, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks.

His contract expires at the end of that year. It looks like he is planning on either retiring, or playing for another team. With this, there have been speculations about who the starting goaltender will be for next year. Biggest bet's on Tuukka Rask who won the Jennings trophy a couple of years ago. Khudobin will most likely be the backup goalie unless they sign a free agent and Campbell is probably going to be the emergency call up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011311592994700962.post-36041451551004560922012-06-21T11:56:00.000-04:002012-06-21T11:56:49.543-04:00NHL Award WinnersThe winners of the NHL Awards were announced last night.

It will be a 7 Year $45.5 Million Dollar contract. It evens out to approximately $6.5M a year. The Norris finalist lead defenceman in points with 78. Personally, I believe this is a pivotal part of the future and a big worry about making sure he was signed now, was GM Bryan Murray seeing the ugly situation between the LA Kings and Drew Doughty last year.Alson Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14411529833893865343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011311592994700962.post-4650821913840989212012-06-15T20:57:00.000-04:002012-06-15T21:46:04.403-04:00Lindback Traded.The Tampa Bay Lightning have gotten their goalie for the future in Andres Lindback. Lindback along with a 7th Round Pick and Kyle Wilson was traded for two 2nd Round Picks, Sebastian Caron, and a 3rd Round Pick. The second round picks come from both Minnesota and Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
Quote from Andres Lindback (source: NHL.com): <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m very excited to now be with the Tampa Bay Lightning. I had some great years with Nashville but I was in a tough spot behind Pekka Rinne. My dream all my life has been to be a number one goalie in the NHL and I think I have a great opportunity to be that in Tampa Bay.”</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ve heard great things about the city of Tampa and the Lightning organization. I’m friends with Victor Hedman and he’s told me lots about the team there. I’m thrilled and excited to start next season with the Lightning.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“It’s going to be great playing on such an offensive team. Obviously, having Steven Stamkos, Vinny and Marty on your team is exciting for anyone. It’s the kind of team I want to be a part of and excited to have this new opportunity ahead of me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Winners:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alson: I think Nashville wins. Even though Tampa gets their goalie, Nashville gets two second round picks. Before the trade, the Preds had zero picks in the first two rounds. Now they have two. Also, they get a backup goalie back with Sebastien Caron. Lastly, Lindback is a RFA. He will be expecting a pay raise from his $875,000 if he is to be the #1 goalie that most people expect him to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kyle: I say Tampa Bay because Tampa Bay finally gets their number one goalie that they crave so bad. Although Lindback is not very proven since he had limited playing time in Nashville, I believe his size will help his career as a number one goalie.</span></div>Alson Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14411529833893865343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011311592994700962.post-8683091375313339462012-06-15T19:07:00.000-04:002012-06-15T19:07:28.428-04:00HiatusJust a quick note from all the authors.
