Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Noon

*-> No word yet on if Petr Sykora has been claimed off waivers this morning. I'll stay on it. I'm still hearing Ottawa, LA and the Penguins but you can throw New Jersey and the Rangers in the mix too.

*-> Rod Brindamour of the Carolina Hurricanes handed off the captaincy this morning to franchise player Eric Staal. This move doesn't come as a major surprise as the Hurricanes are trying to go in a different direction and are expected to start rebuilding shortly. Rod Brindamours role has drastically shrunk and he is expected to be traded to a team looking for leadership and a proven playoff guy. Several teams would love to have his services. Boston, LA, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta and Ottawa are all interested. New York Rangers also could be interested but cap issues are holding them back. My personal pick is Philly, since there looking for that dressing room guy to motivate the troops.
