Ice Scoopz: Saturday

A little catch up today, a few waiver claims Thursday to report plus a hiring and firing.

*-> Jay Leach of the Montreal Canadians was claimed Thursday off waivers by the San Jose Sharks.

*-> John Stevens was fired by the Philadelphia Flyers then quickly replaced by former Carolina Hurricane bench boss Peter Laviolette. The reason for the sudden firing was because the team was struggling badly and needed a new change of direction.

*-> Rick Dipietro is set to take to this ice this week with the Bridgeport Tigers on a conditioning stint. This means the Islanders are going to be forced to trade ether Martin Biron or Dwayne Roloson within the 2 weeks. My guess is Biron will be the easier sell with his affordable salary.
