Ice Scoopz: Monday Afternoon

*-> Now that Marty Turco is a free agent come July 1st he's made his demands known. Turco has said he would only listen to offers from a contending team that was building for a run rather than a team building for the future. He also stated he would only accept the starting position at his age. This still puts Philly, Washington, and Chicago in the running but some people are saying Tampa Bay is another possibility if they get their act together. Also don't count Ottawa out of the goalie mix this summer if they can somehow dump Leclaire.

*-> Reports out of Russia have Dynamo Moscow folding this summer and buying out many of their players including Juri Hudler. Hudler nor the Detroit Red Wings who own his contract and rights have yet to say anything except for the Detroit management saying they have yet to hear anything out of Russia. Could be interesting if the Wings get Hudker back but he may stay in Russia if another team offers him big money again.

*-> Speaking of the KHL reports are also indicating that New York Ranger and soon to be free agent Jokinen could be headed to Russia next season. Jokinen who had a disapointing season yet again and was linked to Calgarys dressingroom cancer has been watched by several KHL organizations including the new Moscow team and UFA. I doubt these rumors are true as Jokinen still has talent and some low scoring team will take a risk at signing him to a lower short term deal. He might bolt if there's no interest or he gets a big money deal however.
