Well back again after a quiet weekend off. Not much happening this weekend so it was a good choice. Here's a few good ones for today.
*-> Nikolai Zherdev has officially been released and is an unrestricted free agent. The New York Rangers have parted with the one dimensional winger. The judges decesion to award him 3.9$mil for one season was far too much for the Rangers who were looking for a reason to dump his salary. Rumors have already started to swirl around Zherdev. The Columbus Blue Jackets have already stated that they are not interested again. The rumored teams that could make an offer for him are the Minnesota Wild who are looking for a jump in offense but I can't see him as a Minny style player. The Washington Caps have also been linked but would first have to dump some salary such as Nylander. Another more reasonable option would be the Toronto Maple Leafs who have zero offense.
*-> Patrick Eaves has signed with the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are high on his potential and his abilities to play special teams. Ottawa definetly lucked out on a cheap signing.
*-> Brian Elliott has signed a twoway contract with his Club the Ottawa Senators worth 1.7$.
*-> Carolina restricted free agent Anton Babchuk is on the block as Jim Rutherford has announced today he will try and trade him. He is reportedly seeking a mid draft pick or average prospect. Several teams have shown interest.
*-> Two retirements are expected to be announced today. Jeremy Roenick and Teppo Numminen.
More this afternoon including some Danny Heatley news and the Sharks.

Scoopz,
I've seen some people speculate the Elliot signing (finally) may be a sign a resolution to the Heatley saga is imminent.
Possibly, but I wonder if the Sens now have a handle on where J-Smith will start the year. Time will tell.
If Heatley goes to SJ, I want Michalek and Vlasic with a pick or prospect. I'm worried Erhoff's big year was an anomoly.
