*-> Detroit Red Wing prospect and 1st round draft pick (27th overall in 2007) Brendan Smith is making headlines again but not for his offensive brand of hockey but for yet another incident that goes against his character. The troubled defenseman has been charged with disorderly conduct after repeatedly punching a house party goer in the face after he tried to enter the house. The Wings just freshly signed Smith Thursday to a 3 year entry level deal after believing he's made progress towards straightening up.
*-> Igor Radulov the brother of Alexander Radulov has signed a deal with Severstal Cherepovets leaving his previous club Metallurg Magnitogorsk, terms of the deal were unannounced.
*-> Matt Ellison who has made a name for himself in the KHL has also signed today. He left club HC MVD for Torpedo Novgorod.
*-> The Boston Bruins and the Edmonton Oilers are talking deal it's reported. The Oilers are unsure whether or not they would rather drafting Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin while the Bruins really want Taylor Hall bad and are willing to throw in a player to sweeten the deal for the Oil. The two names that have come up are Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder, the latter however I expect to be bought out. This deal makes sense as if the Oilers don't care which player they get then they might as well try to pry another piece of the puzzle out of Boston and trade down.
*-> Petr Sykora of the Minnesota Wild is close to a deal in the KHL with Metallurg Magnitogorsk it's being said. Sykora who was demoted late season to the Houston Aeros by his club after struggling with his play and injuries is expected to wait to see if he can get a 1 year deal first in the NHL.
Thats all for now more soon.

Scoopz,
Loyal followers of your site know how I feel about Hall's NHL prospects....so for my sake, please don't tell me he's going to end up in Boston as a division rival where I'll be forced to hate him.
I also want him in Emonton so I can watch him during the second half of all those Saturday night double headers.
Seriously, I understand the sense of the 'Oil maximizing the value of their pick, but this is a team that has struggled for a decade despite a talented forward group. They really need two things to be competitive again: a game breaker and better goaltending.
Hall immediately addresses the first need while Seguin MIGHT.
For that reason - specifically the near certainty of Hall's talent - I can't see the 'Oil passing on him.

P.S. Where the hell is your Cup Final prediction?
