Ice Scoopz: Friday Evening

*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs have invited former Leaf Jason Allison to a tryout with the club.

*-> Alexei Kovalev has made some suspicious comments this afternoon about his future with the Senators. Kovalev stated today his still wishes he could play for the Habs again and acknowledged he made a bad personal decesion by keeping the Habs waiting over money as he wishes to retire their. He claims he's visited several times since and calls Montreal home still and would love to retire with the organization. Despite his confusing and misleading comments he still remains focused for the next 2 years for the Sens. Rumors have already begun to spin however including one which would take place if Heatley decided to return to the Sens. If Heatley was to return the Sens would have to dump a bit of cap space sending Kovalev back to the Habs for Plekanec, and a pick. The Habs would get Kovalev back along with Jason Smith. This is highly unlikely but never impossible. The sens would love to keep Heatley and Kovalev both in the fold.

*-> Peter Forsberg has taken a big step to once again making a comeback. The star Swede has been added to the Olympic hopeful list and last night returned to the ice without pain or complication for the SEL's Modo. Forsberg says he should know how he feels after a few more games played with the puck. A couple teams have shown interest in him including his longtime club Colorado and also the New York Rangers.

I think this Kovalev situation is a little bit overblown. He was just expressing to Habs fans, in Montreal, what a great time in his career it was. I dont think this is any reflection on the effort he will bring for the Sens.
