Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

*-> According to reports Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens have all but agreed on a deal. Sources close to Montreal have said a deal in on the table and all that's left is a signature and a call to the league. Price who is currently an RFA was reportedly seeking a long term deal worth upwards to 4 mill per season. No figures have been mentioned yet but its expected to be around 3.5 for 5 years. I'm still skeptical about how true this is but we'll stay on it.

*-> The Colorado Avalanche had reportedly made several calls to the Edmonton Oilers organization in regards to youngster Andrew Cogliano. The Oilers said earlier this weekt that they have faith both Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano. Cogliano has been a fixture in most Edmonton rumors all season long so this doesn't surprise me.

*-> Arron Asham could be close to landing a deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning who are looking to add some more leadership and special teams help. They also lack a tough guy after losing Zenon Konopka and Matt Walker.

*-> A rumor regarding Sheldon Souray to the Anaheim Ducks is heating up. The Ducks are looking at adding to their defense after losing Scott Niedermayer to retirement. Souray who comes with a hefty cap hit is struggling to attract attention after asking out of Edmonton. The Oilers are rumored to be interested in taking another heavy hit back just to end this ordeal and get the disgruntled Souray out of the dressing room. Jason Blake is the rumored return as he has a big salary and the Ducks have depth.
