*-> The Heatley saga once again has taken another turn. Apparently the deals off or uh well never existed reports TSN's Bob Mackenzie on his twitter account. The L.A Kings have denied being in talks with the Ottawa Senators and the Ottawa Senators have returned a statement as well saying they are no closer to dealing Heatley than they have been in the past month. A weird turn of events. It could very well be that Ottawa is doing some PR and media blindsiding hoping that this would not turn in the the Oilers all over again with players and management freaking out of the leaked info.
*-> The Carolina Hurricanes have said they expect to resolve the Anton Babchuk situation before the weekend is through. Jim Rutherford the GM of the Hurricanes has stated he has several teams interested in the break out defenseman but is waiting to pull the trigger on a deal to allow another team in on the bidding. The teams rumored to be interested are the Buffalo Sabres, Dallas Stars and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
*-> Phil Kessel's agent has announced that the Boston centers days in Boston are numbered. Kessel will no longer be listening to offers from the Bruins and will accept any offer sheets offered his way. This comes as a shock as he was pushing hard for a deal to secure his spot on the Bruins. I believe all this Toronto talk has got him thinking and he might realize this may be a big payday for the young star. The Bruins have declined to comment on the press release but last heard was the Bruins fully intend on matching any offers still.
*-> Theo Fleury has been officially reinstated by the league after talking with Bettman. Fleury has also stated that he has several teams interested in his services and he has to sit down and think which training camp to attend next week. Rumors have the Phoenix Coyotes, Calgary Flames, the Minnesota Wild and the Nashville Predators interested. He says he cannot wait to steal someones job and earn an NHL roster spot back. Good for you Theo! If Claude Lemieux can do it so can he in my opinion.
