A few quick ones to start the morning off.
*-> Many teams in the league are looking at goalies this summer with many goalies available. Marty Turco is one name out there to consider. It was reported this week the Stars most likely will part ways with their long time keeper. While Turco isn't young he still can provide the reliability that a contender needs at least for a few seasons still. The Philadelphia Flyers have looked into Turco but it appears they will make a big push for Thomas Vokoun. Another team who has had interest has been the St Louis Blues who lacked reliability between the pipes all season long. The darkhorse of this one could be the Ottawa Senators who have rode the season on 2 mediocre goalies. Leclaire could rebound but Brian Elliots a backup at best. The Canadians have a decesion still to make about Carey Price and Jaroslav Halak. The Flyers almost had Halak earlier in the season while the New Jersey Devils want Price.
*-> Yesterday the Edmonton Oilers signed prospect Linus Omark of Dynamo of the KHL to a 2year deal. The deal is worth 850k and has an opt out clause at the start of the second season. If Omark is unhappy and or struggling he can leave to Europe before the season begins.
*-> The Dallas Stars have appeared to have had enough of Mike Ribeiro recently as the scoring center missed several team events including a mandatory team meeting. He was healthy scratched for a game as punishment but the sides are reportedly still at war. It is expected the Stars will shop him during the summer months to give Jaime Benn more ice time along with Brad Richards.

Where did you hear that Ribeiro missed "several team events"? He was 10 minutes late to (not missed) a meeting - that's all that's been reported.
That's what the Dallas Stars organization is feeding the media from what I hear. Several Dallas newspapers have reported him skipping the meeting along with 2 other rumor sites. He was a healthy scratch because of this. Obvious the Stars want to down play this incident for the players good. It could just be a rumor or it could be true. I'm reporting the news \ what I hear and give my take on the matter. This one is buy-able because Ribeiro is known to have an ego and also had similair problems while in the Montreal organization.
