*-> The Penguins wernt done there, they went straight after defenseman Martin Skoula after he was released by the Columbus Blue Jackets from a try-out. Skoula signed a 1 year deal worth 575$K per season.

*-> Vancouver Canuck prospect Cody Hodgson has been sent down to his junior club the Brampton Battalion after attempting to make the Canucks opening season roster.

*-> It appears Robbie Shremp will get to avoid being sent down to the AHL and will try and stick with the New York Islanders after they claimed him off waivers this morning from the Edmonton Oilers.

*-> The Columbus Blue Jackets may have found their powerplay specialist they had been searching for. The Jackets acquired Anton Stralman from the Calgary Flames for the 3rd round pick in this years draft. Stralman has bounced around since being traded this summer to the Flames by the Leafs.

*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning have placed wingers Adam Hall, Ryan Craig and Brandon Bochenski on waivers this morning. all are expected to clear except Adam Hall who has received some attention from the Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers.

*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning have also released try-out invitee Brett McLean this morning. McLean still has hope for an NHL team to offer a deal although not much interest is around at the moment. the Colorado Avalanche have reportedly spoken to his agent but are just kicking tires.
