Ice Scoopz: Tuesday Afternoon

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Ice Scoopz Be A GM Contest. It is now officially closed and I will have the results with my panel shortly. While there wasn't as many entries as expected I was quite pleased with the results especially the creativity. Hopefully next year around we'll get more people willing to step up and show us what they got now that everyone knows what to expect from this contest. I have more plans in the near future for more contests so lots of opportunities to go around.

*-> Yesterday the Atlanta Thrashers announced they signed Brian Little to a multi year deal. Both parties have yet to disclose the terms and contract length but its rumored to be a 4 million for 3 year deal.

*-> The major news sources have finally posted the Cristobal Huet Europe rumors after being revealed last month. For those who don't know Cristobal Huet is working on a loan deal to head to the Swiss league to play out the rest of his contract. While he'd rather stay in the NHL he's doing what's best for the team his agent has said. If all goes as planned Huet will be placed on waivers this week and if cleared he'll head to Gotteron and remove his salary off the Hawks cap hit. Anti Niemi will most likely be getting a call but he has the Hawks where he wants and if he's feeling extra bitter about being let go over a few hundred thousand. Chicago's situation is an interesting one.


*-> Justin Abdelkader has resigned with the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings and Abdelkader came to terms on a 2 year deal, however the financial terms have yet to be released
