Ice Scoopz: Friday Afternoon

* Another quiet day so far in regards to rumors, a few more linked players that could make a bolt to the KHL this summer.

*-> Sergei Kostitsyn of the Montreal Canadians is once again being said to be on the verge of signing in the KHL. Sergei who already once decided to flee is looking at taking off again its rumored as he's unhappy with the Habs and their done with him it looks. The rumor midseason was CSKA Moscow but now it appears he's on the radar of Dynamo Minsk of Belarus his home country. Dynamo Minsk is the team as of late being all over the latest KHL defects. Could just be a coincidence since it recently came out that he was unhappy and just pure speculation. Its said he'd rather have full time NHL icetime and hopefully alongside is brother. The link between him and Minsk is possible but could just be the connection of home country.

*-> CBC had reported that Marek Svatos was on the verge of signing in the KHL after his contract with the Colorado Avalanche expires but its recently been reported that Svatos would rather stay in North America if there still is interest in his services. I feel there most likely will be as he'll be taking a paycut to reprove himself next season ala Maxim Afinogenov style.

*-> The Buffalo Sabres have signed 2008 6th round draft pick Nick Crawford to an entry level deal. Crawford played for the Barrie Colts and Saginaw this season.
