Ice Scoopz: Labour Day Monday

I hope everyone is enjoying their Labour Day and a having a nice relaxing day off. I was hoping to go out and do some fishing but here in the Capital its raining to continue the trend from the past few days. Oh well lots of work to do as NHL training camps are set to kick off next week. On that note a few minor rumors and a signing to report today. Later this evening I'll post the dates and locations of all the NHL teams training camps. I'll also be posting starting this week the start of my Canadien 6 preview/ my Be A GM for each of the Canadian clubs. Plus stay tuned to Ice Scoopz for the usual rumors and signing plus I'll be reporting on all 30 teams trainging camp invites.

*-> The Atlanta Thrashers have signed veteran winger Fredrik Modin to a 1 year deal. The Thrashers organization has yet to release the financial terms of the deal but it's expected it is worth 1.5$ million.

*-> Jonathan Cheechoo has been invited to the Dallas Stars training camp and has accepted their invitation.

*-> It's rumored Shean Donovan will once again attend the Ottawa Senators training camp after not being able to find a deal in the NHL or in Europe. The invitation has yet to be confirmed but many Ottawa media sources have reported this one. He was set to sign a deal in Finland but the deal fell through after he took too long deciding. I recently watched a pickup game featuring Shean Donovan and it looks like he still has something to offer any NHL team looking for 4th line and depth help.

*-> The New Jersey Devils are pushing defenseman Bryce Salvador and center Danius Zubrus around the league attempting to get back under the cap after the Ilya Kovalchuk signing. Salvador is being looked at by the Dallas Stars and the Los Angeles Kings while Zubrus is getting a look from the Columbus Blue Jackets. The New Jersey management has said they are open to demotions if the situation is in need. Can you say Alexander Mogilny?

*-> The San Jose Sharks have told Owen Nolan they do not have interest in the veteran winger as he continues to skate with them. Nolan is still looking for work but is optimistic about finding a role with an NHL team. Its rumored the Hawks are interested if the price is right as are the St. Louis Blues.

*-> Former San Jose Shark Jed Ortimayer is getting some interest also from the Hawks but its reported he's seeking a 1 way deal while all offers so far have been 2 way deals.
