Ice Scoopz: Monday Afternoon

A slow day for rumors today but here are a couple I've scavenged up.

*-> The Chicago Blackhawks have told the media that they will indeed match the San Jose Sharks offer sheet for defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. It looks like San Jose Sharks will have to go a different route to replace Rob Blake.

*-> Former Ottawa Senator Christoph Schubert appears to be heading back to Germany. The. Utility winger slash defenseman is close to signing a deal with EHC Munchen of the DEL.

*-> Pavol Demitra is in negotiations with the New York Rangers about a possible signing. Another optiong for the slovak is the KHL where he's had several offers. Demitra had a phenomenal Olympics for Slovakia but a miserable injury plagued season with the Canucks.

*-> Bryan Murray of the Ottawa Senators has said his team is most likely done adding to the roster until after he evaluates his team during training camp. Murray said he'd like to add a forward for depth but won't till camp. He said his defense is most likely complete but he expects that Jared Cowen could challenge for a spot in the lineup next season and could force a roster move.
