Ice Scoopz: Tuesday Afternoon

*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs are very close to signing Czech Republic star free agent Roman Cervenka. Roman Cervenka has listed Toronto and another Canadian city as the two finalists for his services its rumored. The Oilers were originally the other contender its rumored but are no longer interested in him without Jaromir Jagr. It seams Toronto is the place to be if your a European free agent. A few people are still speculating the Ottawa Senators could be the second Canadian team mentioned.

*-> Niklas Backstrom has signed a mega deal with the Washington Capitals. The deal is worth 67$Mil over a decade which equals to 6.7$ a year. The Caps now have their cornerstones locked up for the forseeable future. Great deal for the Caps as Backstrom is only going to get better.

*-> The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed Mike Grier to a one year deal worth 1.4$ mil. The gritty forward earned his new contract in the Boston series it's said.

*-> The Minnesota Wild have signed the AHL's 3rd leading scorer Chad Rau to a 2 year, two way deal. The goal scoring center was a 7th round draft pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The club has said he'll be given a chance to play on the 2nd line.
