Ice Scoopz: Monday Morning

Awesome weekend as I got some much needed fishing in and rest. To update everyone on the status of the site we're still under construction and the changes are expected to start showing up mid August. We've put together a good plan and I'll unveil the plans hopefully by August once I get a sit down with my web designer. I wanna hear from you guys about what you wanna see on this site cause after all its about what the people wanna see right? Let me know drop me an email or post some comments. Regulars and new followers. On to this mornings rumors.

*-> Alexander Frolovs agent has revealed he's close to a deal. Frolov is sitting on several different offers from around the league. He has confirmed that the New York Rangers have major interest while the Los Angeles Kings have been in contact after losing out for both Ilya Kovalchuk and Simon Gagne. Frolov also has a deal on the table from the KHL's St. Petersberg but its said he'd rather find a home in the NHL rather than overseas at this point in his career.

*-> Its official Robert Nilsson formerly of the Edmonton Oilers has signed a deal in the KHL with Salavat UFA. Its reported he does have an NHL release clause.

*-> Over the weekend the Tampa Bay Lightning have signed free agent Chris Durno who played last season for the Aves.

*-> Kyle Wellwood is currently speaking to Zug of the Swiss league about a possible jump to Europe. Wellwood is still looking at the NHL but the interest is pretty thin at this point.

*-> Linus Omark of the Edmonton Oilers is reportedly unhappy with North America and is contemplating heading back to Russia to play. The Oilers and the Swedish Youtube sensation aren't seeing eye to eye and unless things change the young forward may bolt back. He does hold a release clause after his first season if he does want out but according to reports that does mean much to the shootout expert.
