*-> Brendan Witt has been placed on waivers with intent of buying out his contract. The Islanders waived him last season but couldn't find any takers and Witt ended up finishing the season in Bridgeport. A strange move for the Islanders unless they plan to sign a free agent or make a deal because the Isles are still under the cap minimum. Kaberle could be in the future for Islander fans. Witt should clear but may find a suitor if he lowers his price when an FA.
*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed 3 of their RFA defensemen. Vladimir Mihalik, Mike Vernace and Mathieu Roy have all been inked to 1 year deals on a 2 way contract.
*-> The Detroit Red Wings are rumored to be close to a deal with free agent Kirk Maltby. Maltby is said to be waiting for the Detroit Red Wings to sign Mike Modano. Modano is still deciding his future but he is reported to be close to a decesion which could come as earlier as next week. Maltby and the rest of the Detroit's free agents are expected to be resigned but around Modanos contract. The Red Wings are also interested in bringing back Aaron Downey as well.
*-> Lee Stemniak is speaking to several teams about possible deals. Stempniak is rumored to be still interested in returning to Phoenix but the Yotes are pushing hard for a major hometown discount. The Ottawa Senators are also interested but they too are looking for a bargain signing as they are up against the cap. The Sabres have explored the option but wish the address their defense first once they enter training camp and get a good look.
