Ice Scoopz: Thursday Afternoon

*-> Bill Guerin has been skating with the Philly Flyers the past week but has told the Philly media that they shouldn't read too much into it as it was arranged while still negotiating with the Pens. He didn't rule out a possible signed but pointed out the Bullies are against the cap. The Flyers management has admitted to looking at Guerin but has said nothing major. Many teams have offered the veteran a training camp spot but he is only willing to accept a contract.

*-> The Montreal Canadiens have finally signed Carey Price. I heard whispers of this one this morning but thought it was premature as the major news networks released articles on Price being far from a deal and they were still grinding away on it. The deal is a 2 year deal but the financial terms are still cloudy. I'm hearing its 2.65 from several sources and 3.5 from several other rumor jockeys. If its 2.65 that's a pretty decent deal for the Habs.

*-> The major news sources have finally confirm our reports of Niemi to the Sharks, the deal is worth 2 mil. I bet the Hawks must be pretty peeved.

*-> Jere Lehtonen is contemplating retirement after his latest meeting with the Stars management. The defensive specialist has interest from around the league but he's a Star or nothing I'm hearing.

*-> I'm also hearing some news on the Sens pushing Mike Fisher around the league, I'll keep my ears open for this one.

Congrats to Tom for winning the Be A GM contest although it was extremely close! I was really impressed with all the entries and next time around they'll be more contestants and a way tougher challange now that you all know what to expect.
