Ice Scoopz: Tuesday Evening

*-> Robert Lang has officially signed a deal with the Phoenix Coyotes. The deal is rumored to be a 1 year deal worth $1MIL per season. The Coyotes adressed the signing by saying they loved the way he played last season and they were in need of a veteran presence.

*-> The Atlanta Thrashers have released Dan Fritche and goaltender Manny Legace from their try-outs with the club. Manny Legace is expected to try and bid for a spot in the AHL while waiting for a call from an NHL club while Dan Fritche is expected to head to Europe.

*-> Sergei Kostitsyn is threatening to return to Russia after being demoted by his club the Montreal Canadiens. Kostitsyn has yet to show defensive improvement and was consistently singled out by coach Jacques Martin for the lack of defensive play. Kostitsyn's agent Don Meehan has told the Montreal media his client was just frustrated and will be reporting to Hamilton.

*-> Jason Allison is contemplating retirement after being cut from the Toronto Maple Leaf's roster. Rumor has it he will announce his retirement this Friday after giving the week to think about overseas and give other teams a chance if interested to make an offer. I highly doubt he'll get an offer he's still stuck in the old NHL.
