Ice Scoopz: Monday Afternoon

*-> The Florida Panthers have signed Jacob Markstrom to an Entry Level deal. The blue chip goalie of the future played last season for Brynas.

*-> Antte Engren was also signed to an entry level deal with the Nashville Predators today. Engren played last season in the SM Liiga.

*-> The disgruntled Slava Kozlov is rumored to be heading to the KHL at seasons end if he can't land a decent role or pay with a National Hockey League team this summer. CSKA Moscow has shown interest and several Russian news papers are claiming the Atlanta winger will be headed over after being mistreated by the Thrashers last season. I still think he'll try and stick it out one last season. If he's inexpensive I can see a team taking a risk on him as he's still fairly productive in a secondary role.

*-> Will the many coaching changes set to take place this summer some names have been floating around. Guy Boucher of the Montreal Canadians has been approached by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kevin Dineen is most likely headed to Tampa Bay its said but the Lightning also are reported to have interest as well.
