Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

*-> Ken King the president of the Calgary Flames has told the Calgary media that captain Jarome Iginla isn't going anywhere so unless this is a tactic I don't see these rumors being true at all. Why would you trade your heart and soul?

*-> The San Jose Sharks have signed free agent TJ Travelyn to a one year deal. Last season TJ Travelyn played with the Sharks affiliate The Worchester Sharks.

*-> Don Meehan the agent for both Maxim Afinogenov and Colby Armstrong of the Atlanta Thrashers has told the media that his clients status with the Thrashers will be figured out soon. He went on to say that Colby Armstrong will most likely not be a Thrasher next season and will hit the market this summer while Maxim is sitting on a 1 year deal. The deal I've heard is worth 2.7 to 3 million.

*-> The Montreal Canadians have signed free agent defenseman Kyle Klubertanz to a one year deal. Kubertanz was a 3rd round draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks in the 04 draft and played last season for Djurgarden of the SEL.

More this afternoon.

Fellas,

I'll probably regret this, but I was 2 for 2 in the conference finals, so I'm going to try it again.

I think both teams match up well for high end talent, both at forward and on the back end.

I also think Niemi should be Leighton's equal, especially with Big Buff, Brouwer and the rest of the 'Hawk forwards making life much harder than the small 'Hab forwards were able to.

And I think the 'Hawks have more overall depth to go with home ice.

However, I can't help but really like the way Philly's playing right now, gritting out wins with their key guys playing outstanding hockey - Richards, Briere, Pronger and Timonen - now boosted by the returns of Gagne and Carter. A lot of pre-series talk has focused on the relative development of Kane and Van Riemsdyk...but it says here Giroux has a monster final.

Philly in seven games.
