*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning added defenseman Randy Jones to their equation yesterday in hopes of adding depth to their backend. The former King and Flyer will be an unrestricted free agent again next season after only signing a 1 year deal last night.
*-> Willie Mitchell has found a new home late last night as well. Mitchell agreed to a 2 year deal with the Los Angeles Kings after sorting through the many suitors. The deal is worth 3.5$ million per year. This signing should have an effect for several teams as the Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Columbus Blue Jackets and Washington Capitols were all looking at Mitchell. It's expect Brian Burke will now attempt to shop Kaberle again to the losers. The Washington Capitols expected deal for a defenseman may also be cooking now as well.
*-> Colin Stuart has signed a 2 way deal with the Buffalo Sabres today.
*-> The Pittsburgh Penguins have told veteran Bill Guerin they will not resign him. Guerin still has a handful of teams looking at adding some leadership and his services to their lockerooms. The New York Islanders are considering bringing Guerin back for another stretch as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Panthers have also been mentioned.
*-> Former NHLer and 1st round draft pick Chris Gratton has received an offer from the Edinburgh Capitols of the British Elite League. Gratton did not play last season at all after becoming a free agent last summer.
*-> Alexander Sugolov has signed with Spartak Moscow after playing the past few seasons with CSKA Moscow of the KHL.
*-> Former Ottawa Senator prospect Kirill Lyamin has left Spartak Moscow for Traktok Chelyabinsk who are looking at making a run this season.
*-> Pavel Brendl is considering an NHL comeback according to Brynas sporting director Michael Sundlov. Brendl who was a 1st round draft pick in 1999 (4th overall) for the New York Rangers had a good season for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod last season with 37 points in 51 games played and has attracted some attention in the NHL. Brendl hopes to try one last time in North America before finishing his career with his former club Brynnas Sundlov told the Swedish media.

I am expecting a heroic, Alexandre Daigle like return by Brendl to the NHL.
He must have developed a drinking problem after his first year in the W, because what an embarrassment.....
I say trade Brendl for Lindros straight up. Oops am I 9 years too late for that one?

I hope the move to Spartak from CSKA doesn't affect the availability of Suglobov sticks...
They've been on the shelves at Canadian Tire for years.
