Ice Scoopz: Saturday Noon

*-> Reports out of San Jose have the Sharks and Devin Setoguchi agreeing on a 2 year deal. The reports surfaced last night that it was a done deal but this morning it appears to be really close but nether parties have confirmed it yet. Some are saying in principal all the terms have been met but later this week they'll finalize the deal. Its apparently in the 3 million dollar range. Both rumors have conflicted each other but it appears more than likely close to being done than not.

*-> While on the Sharks, the Sharks are rumored also to be considering taking a run at Anti Niemi of the Hawks if Chicago can't get him to a reasonable contract. The Sharks are reported to be extremely high on him and would rather Niemi over both Griess and or Nittymaki. To me this ones a long shot folks, the Sharks didn't want an expensive goalie and they have repeatedly said that they want to give Greiss a chance.

*-> The Montreal Canadiens have signed prospect and 2009 draft pick Louis Leblanc to a 3 year entry level deal. Leblanc has officially left University and has the option to play for Hamilton of the AHL but it looks like the Canadiens plan to send him to the QMJHL for some fine tuning. Leblanc currently has a contract with the Montreal Juniors.

More rumors this afternoon and lots on the Tomas Kaberle front.
