*-> Swedish free agent Martin Thornberg is rumored to be close to a deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Thornburg played last season with HV71.
*-> Brandon Bochenski of the Tampa Bay Lighting is rumored to be headed to Russia to play in the KHL. Reports have Bochenski attracting lots of interest from Barys Astana.
*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed free agent goalie Ben Scrivens to a an entry level deal adding to the Leafs goaltending depth.
*-> Vancouver Canuck and soon to be free agent this summer Pavol Demetra has attracted a lot of interest from overseas. Rumors have Dinamo Riga and the new Lithuanian club Villenus willing to pay big money to sway Demetra back to Europe. Its doubtful he'll bolt but this could be his last signing in the NHL but for a lot less than this years salary.
*-> Norwegian prospect Mats Zuccarello Aason of Modo is attracting some interest from several NHL teams. The Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks and the Nashville Predatord are all rumored to be wooing the forward but sources are saying that the New York Rangers are reportedly close to a deal.
*-> Finally Darius Kasparaitis has called it a career. The physical defenseman said he's hanging em up but left the door open for a possible coaching career in the KHL. One of my favorite hitters of all time I'm sure Eric and Brett Lindros would agree.
