Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Late Afternoon

*-> The Montreal Canadians are pressing hard to sign Andrei Markov. The Canadians management has made it their number one priority this summer. Markov has already stated that the talks can't come soon enough and he wishes to remain a HabM

*-> The Ottawa Senators also have their own defenseman resigning issues as it appears to be a stand still between GM Bryan Murray and Anton Volchenkovs camp. Murray is refusing to pay market prices for his longtime shot blocking and hard hitting d man. Volchi is reportedly asking for 5.5+ mil while Murray is only willing to pay 5 tops. The other factor in this resigning is Murrays insurance piece Andy Sutton. Many are speculating that Sutton was brought in as a “What if” factor in case the price was too high.

*while on Ottawa, the Sens have signed prospect goalie Robin Lehner to a 3yr entry level deal. A great draft and now a great signing for the Sens. Finally a real goalie of the future.
