Ice Scoopz: Thursday Afternoon

*-> Andrew Ladd and the Atlanta Thrashers avoided arbitration this morning by signing a 1 year deal. Atlanta who has been trying to avoid arbitration all week managed to do so again with another former Blackhawk Andrew Ladd. Ladd will make 2.35$ next season.

*-> Tim Kennedy of the Buffalo Sabres has been awarded a 1 milliong dollar 1 year deal this afternoon. The Sabres are expected to sign off on the deal.

*-> Goaltender Marty Turco will play in the NHL next season. His agent told the media yesterday that 3 teams have been actively pursuing the veteran netminder and it was nothing to do with numbers at all but to do with choosing the right team as Turco only wishes to play for a serious contender. Its well known the Flyers have been looking at Turco but its also been said the Chicago Blackhawks have interest as well but a deal depends on whether or not a reasonable deal with Anti Niemi could be found first. The 3rd team rumored is still up in the air but some have reported the Capitals and the Kings both could be interested.
