*-> The Vancouver Canucks have placed Brad Lukowich on re-entry waivers today. The Canucks had to recall him today as Mathieu Schneider is still contemplating his future with the Canucks and whether or not he'll report to the Manitoba Moose. Brad Lukowich most likely won't be claimed but a team looking for an inexspensive veteran or depth may take a chance. The Canucks have a situation on their hands with Schneider however. He is clearly upset with his treatment and most likely will go awol and not report. They've tried to find a taker but he's too costly at the moment for a 5 6 kinda guy. If he's placed on re-entry he might be claimed. A loan to Europe might be an option but his sights are still on the NHL.
*-> The Washington Capitols are trying trade Jose Theodore but are struggling. Seymon Varlamov has all but stole the starting position and Michael Neuvirth has shown he's ready for backup duty. Theo is the odd man out but it will be hard to shop his exspensive salary. Maybe closure to the deadline the Caps might have luck. We still know Detroit, Toronto, Dallas, and LA are looking for help.
More news later plus info on the Thrashers and Kovalchuk situation.
