Ice Scoopz: Tuesday Morning

*-> Rumors out of Philadelphia have the Flyers looking at Carey Price of the Montreal Canadians. The rumors are saying Philly had been in talks with the Habs about Jaroslav HalaK before Montreal management decided Halak was their guy. Montreal was reported to be asking for too much in return for Halak. French Canadian Claude Giroux's name has now come up its said as the asking price for Price. Its yet to be known if Price is on the market but many are saying that Price will not settle being number 2 and Halak is Montreal guys. Giroux is mostly likely not available as he's a key building block in Phillys future alongside VanRymsDyk. In my opinion Montreal and Philly are most likely speaking in regards to goaltending but Giroux is untouchable unless Montreal sweeten the deal.

*-> Mike Modano has commented on his possible retirement this week saying that despite all the rumors and fellow veterans retiring he has yet to make a decision. He still would like to play but it depends on the teams future and if there's a role for him still in Dallas. He says his decision will come shortly once he speaks with management.

*-> Martin St.Louis has told Tampa Bay media that given the ownership change and the unknown financial status he'd be willing to waive his no trade clause if the club asked him to. He said he's happy in Tampa but if the situation arises he'd be happy to help the team. Yet another star in a span of a week to follow Jarome Iginla. I wouldn't expect a deal though as its merely speculation. Vincent Lecavaliers conttract is way more of a burden.
