Ice Scoopz: Monday Afternoon

*-> Jack Johnson could be on the trading block for the LA Kings after retaliation comments made by Johnson. Last week Dean Lombardi of the Kings had said that Johnson had no formal coaching and although he had talent he was awful hockeywise. Johnson took offense to the comments and called Lombardi unprofessional and defended Michigan. Although nether sides have said anything about a trade one could possibly be coming. Both parties are not happy. There could be a reason Carolina was so fast to trade him...

*-> Sheldon Souray has officially provided his list of team he'll accept a trade to. The teams are rumored to be Los Angeles, San Jose, Florida, Tampa Bay, Washington and Dallas. Of those teams only Washington and Dallas have been linked to Souray. Dallas would like Souray according to rumors but are only interested in a player for player deal while Edmonton wants to rebuild with picks or prospects.

*-> The Flyers are currently shopping for a defenseman GM Paul Holmgren. Some Candidates who have been mentioned to date include Sheldon Souray who most likely would refuse a trade there and Kim Johnson of the Wild. Paul Mara is another name that could fit as Montreal currently has a log jam on D.

More Philly news in a bit.
