Lots of signings and arbitration results this morning ad several rumors to chase as well.
*-> Blake Wheeler of the Boston Bruins has been awarded a 1 year 2.2 million dollar deal by an arbitrator. The Boston Bruins have 48 hours to accept or reject this deal. I expect the B's will take this one with a grain of salt but salary cap issues will have to be dealt with. Michael Ryder could find himself in the minors this season but more than likely he'll be packaged with picks to sweeten the deal for a team that has space. The Blues and the Islanders both have been linked. If the Bruins are unable to find a taker he will end up buried in Providence just like his old pal Peter Schaefer. Marc Savard is another name that comes up in the salary dump rumors. Savard has already been asked to waive his no trade clause and out of the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs only the Leafs have interest. The Leafs however are looking to move Kaberle.
*-> Ottawa has agreed to a deal with Peter Regin to avoid arbitration. The deal is for 2 years and the first year pays 950K while the second year pays 1.05 mil. Good signing for the Sens. A multi year deal plus its affordable.
*-> Ian White and the Calgary Flames have also avoided arbitration with a 1 year deal worth 2.99 mil$.
*-> The New Jersey Devils have signed free agent Chad Wiseman this morning.
*-> The San Jose Sharks have agreed to terms with RFA Jason Demers for a 2 year deal worth 1.25$ million per season.
