*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs need a goalie bad and its no secret. GM Brian Burke has been making inquiries to almost every team in the league to try and find some extra help. The Leafs have been linked to Goaltender JS Giguere. Its believed the Ducks would love to part ways with there 6 million dollar backup. Js is really the most proven goaltender out there but the Leafs first would have to clear some cap. Another option could be teamless Manny Fernandez. Fernandez would be a good backup or depth signing but would be no Better than Toskala in my opinion. Kevin Weekes and Joclyn Thibault are both still out there to provide depth as well. Another option could be the Habs Jaroslav Halak who is ready to start but the Canadians may decide to stick with him since he is the hotter goalie.
*-> Sergei Kostitsyn has reported back to Hamilton after leaving the team earlier this week. Apparently it was a big misunderstanding between the winger and Bob Gainey. Gainey would love to keep the disgruntled winger and is trying his hardest to end his trade request. The main reason for the demotion was revealed last week. Reportedly Kostitsyn and new star Scott Gomez got in a fight during training camp and Gainey and Jacques Martin wanted to let Gomez get settled and not have any unwanted drama before the season starts. I expect Kostitsyn to remain a Hab for the time being.
