Ice Scoopz: Thursday Morning

So it appears my posts from last night are ether delayed or have not registered at all with blogger.com but no worries I shall be post them if they are not up by tonight. Till then some news.

*-> Mike Comrie has signed a deal with the team who drafted him in 1999 the Edmonton Oilers. The rumors which were discussed earlier this week on Ice Scoopz have officially come true. The deal is worth 1.1$MIL per season and is only for 1 season. Comrie hopes to get his career back on track and earn a longer deal after the season is over.

*-> A big rumor involving the Ottawa Senators, the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks has surfaced and it appears a deal is currently being worked out between the 3 teams. Not much is known about the deal but the rumor on the streets is that the Kings are offering up Alexander Frolov to the Senators while Danny Heatley would be heading to the Sharks and the sharks sending Joe Pavelski and Jonathan Cheechoo to the Kings. It really doesn't sound too accurate to me as why would Ottawa want a soon to be UFA next season and the Sharks the Kings you'd think would stay away from Cheechoo as most NHL teams would but who knows I'll keep my eye out.


*-> Mathieu Dandenault has received an invitation to tryout for the San Jose Sharks this upcoming training camp. Dandenault played the 8th D/ 10 forward role last season with the Habs.

*-> Another training camp invite this morning. Brett MacLean formerly of the Florida Panthers has been invited to try out for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

*-> Theo Fleury is expected to meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman this afternoon to discuss and appeal being reinstated by the NHL so he may resume his career and attempt to make a comeback. Fleury has been clean for 4 years now and hasn't played pro hockey since being suspended by the BEL for shooting a puck at the ref. He was suspended by the NHL in 2003 for breaking the drug abuse policy. It is expected he will be reinstated by the league but will there be any takers on a 41 year old 4 years removed from hockey?

Thats it for now folks looks like there is an I.R report today.
