Ice Scoopz: Tuesday Morning

*-> Maxim Lapierre has signed a 1 year deal with the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs managed to get the feisty center Lapierre on a 1 way contract for 900K. Once again the Canadiens have signed another player to a 1 year deal putting them in a rough situation. Next summer.

*-> The Edmonton Oilers have made a decision for their goaltending next season as yesterday they signed Devan Dubnyk to a 2 year deal worth 800K per season. It is a 1 year deal and its expected because of this the Oilers might move one of their other 2 goalies.

*-> Jeremy Williams has signed with the New York Rangers. No terms have been released yet for the former Detroit Red Wing.

*-> Ilya Kovalchuk continues to drag out this bidding war as he is still unsure of where he might sign. The New Jersey Devils are waiting patiently while the Los Angeles Kings continue to try and sway the Russian wingers mind. Reports have Dustin Brown giving a personal tour of LA, the organization taking Ilya out on 2 separate occasions including one with some prominent Hollywood figures. Lombardi seams to be pulling out all the stops but still considers himself an outsider looking in. Kovalchuk is not quite sold yet and several offers he put on the table the Kings have rejected. Russia and the KHL are still in play but only as a last resort. Its being reported Kovi doesn't want to rush a decision but still expects to have a home by the weeks end if all goes as planned.
