Ice Scoopz: Thursday Afternoon

*-> Slava Kozlov of the Atlanta Thrashers has requested a trade after being benched for 8 games out of 10. Kozlov who'd rather play than sit, stated he'd finish for Atlanta if he got quality ice time. He also went on to say he'd waive his no trade only to a contender and a team if it was the right fit for his family. This is pretty big news as the Thrashers are set to try and make a push and could upset the balance of their team after the Kovalchuk deal. Kozlov has been rumored to the L.A Kings, to Detroit and Washington as well.

*-> Ryan Shannon of the Ottawa Senators was extended to a 1 year deal with 650K$. Not too sure why the Sens are keeping him around as he often looks out of place but he does have a huge heart and plays with determination.

*-> The Dallas Stars management has stated the trade market for goalies is pretty stale and they are content to stick with Turco till the end of the season. If a trade did come up worth while however they would consider it. This doesn't come as a shock Joey Neiwendyk has been saying this all along. Expect one of the two goalies to be moved and Auld recalled March 1st. the two are going to be way too costly to keep for next season for the financially troubled club and I doubt the Stars will let ether walk for free.
