Ice Scoopz: Monday Afternoon

*-> The Philadelphia Flyers have signed NCAA free agent, Andrew Rowe to an entry level deal. Rowe played for Michigan this past season.

*-> It looks like Sugar Ray Emerys days are numbered in Philly. The Flyers and Paul Holmgren are planning on taking a different route this offseason. Emery who has been frequently injured since signing a one year with the Flyers is expected to be passed on this summer as he's a UFA. The Flyers are expected to try and land a number one goalie during the offseason most likely via trade. Tomas Vokoun, Carey Price and Tim Thomas have all been rumored to be targets via trade and Marty Turco via free agency. Ray Emery is expected to try another one year deal elsewhere or head back to Europe. There also reports that Emery could decide to retire as his hip injury is worse than indicated.

*-> While on the topic of Flyers goaltending quest, its rumored the Flyers are putting a package together for Carey Price. Simon Gagne and a late pick in return to the ousted goalie. Montreal is still trying to pry Claude Giroux its being said. The Flyers want nothing of it while Montreal would only be interested in Gagne if they took cap space back in return.

*-> Reports out of the hockey world have the Tampa Bay Lightning attempting to sign Kazakstanian winger Krasnoslobodtsev to a free agent deal. Vadim Krasnoslobodtsev played for Barys Astana last season. However reports out of the KHL have him already signed to a deal in the "K".

Less than 48 hours till I land in the UK for family reasons for the next 2 weeks. Bad timing on for a trip because of the Playoffs but ailing family is more important. Don't stress however because Ill still be connected and be able to bring you the news!
