Ice Scoopz: Monday Late Night

A couple of quick notes before I head to bed.

*-> Mike Grier has returned home to Buffalo for atleast one season. The gritty winger was brought in to add some toughness back into a soft Sabre's organization. Grier was signed to a one year deal worth 1.2$mil it has been rumored.

*-> Rookie Ryan Jones earned himself a two year deal worth 975$K per season with his play with the Nashville Predators last season. Jones was part of the Marek Zidlicky deal two seasons ago.

*-> The Leafs have traded Justin Pogge to the Anaheim Ducks for a conditional pick as reported by TSN yesterday afternoon. The Leafs then turned around and signed Joey MacDonald to be their insurance plan as predicted.

*-> A wild rumor out of Boston tonight as many media sources are reporting the Montreal Canadians have signed Manny Fernandez to a two year deal signifying that Jaroslav Halak's time in Montreal has come to an end. I highly doubt this is true as why would the Habs need Fernandez when they just signed Curtis Sanford unless Fernandez is that desperate that he wants to play in the AHL and wait for his time again. Just doesn't add up.
