Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

*-> Yesterday at practice Carey Price and Andrei Markov appeared to have made up and embrassed in a big hug while looking at the Montreal media smiling. While most say the issue has been resolved its far from it. Markov when interviewed about the subject really didn't say much except What happens in the lockeroom stays in the lockeroom while Price still had no comment. I personally feel it was just a show to avoid a media onslaught.

*-> Mike Comrie of the Edmonton Oilers name has come up in the trade news as of late. The Oilers would love to get something for the injured Comrie as they get set to rebuild. The New York Rangers are expected to make a pitch as Comrie is fairly inexspensive and could help their offensive woes. The second New York team the Isles are also reportedly interested but I highly doubt the Islanders need another center in their organization. If Comrie was a winger or willing to play the wing it could be a good fit.

*-> Jamal Mayers and Garnett Exelby of the Toronto Maple Leafs have both asked for a trade out of the TDot. Both players have been upset about the amount of playing time and has cited that as their only reason for wanting out. Ron Wilson has said he understands their request but not why they caused a circus around it. Jamal Mayers has attracted little interest. The Los Angeles Kings and the Nashville Predators or the only two teams I've heard reported while Exelby has attracted interest from the Islanders, the Stars, the Devils and the Coyotes.
