Ice Scoopz: Thursday Afternoon

*-> Freddy Meyer has signed a 1 year deal on a 2 way clause with the Atlanta Thrashers to help bolster their defense corps. Good depth signing for the Thrashers.

*-> A trade rumor has started to heat up. Rumors have the Dallas Stars in talks with the Vancouver Canucks in regards to Kevin Bieksa. The deal that's rumored to be is discussion is Kevin Bieksa from Vancouver to the Stars for Matt Niskanen. This one is a head scratcher for me as the Stars are still going through a sale and tough financial times so why would they ship a cheap defenseman out for an expensive one without another cap clearing move? I'd stick with Niskanen.

*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs are rumored to be interested in Patrick O'Sullivan and in deal talks. He should come cheap if that's the case but he isn't the solution to the Buds 1st line center issues.

*-> The Stars and James Neal are rumored to be really close to a deal its being said.
