Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Evening

*-> The Buffalo Sabres have resigned Matt Ellis to 1 year on a 2 way contract. The Terms have yet to be released by the Sabres brass.

*-> Annti Niemi is reportedly close to a deal with the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks have had high interest in the Finnish goaltender since he was let walk by the Hawks. This could mean bad news for Chicago as they will have all their chips riding on Corey Crawford and an aging Turco if the Huet loan goes down. Especially because the Hawks had interest in bringing back Niemi as their number 1 once the cap issue witgh Huet was fixed. The Niemi signing is expected to be announced as early as this evening. What does that mean for Nittymaki and Greiss? We'll see later on tonight if this rumored signing is correct or not. I'm hearing this one from multiple European sources plus several other rumor pundits so I'm leaning towards a yes on this one.

*-> Still no news on Mike Comrie, this one appears to be premature.

*-> Nikolai Khabibulin is getting 30 days behind bars for his DUI last Spring. No news yet on where or not the Oilers would distance themselves from this one. Early news reported the Oilers were looking to get rid of the Bulin Wall but now it appears they might stand by him.

Any way the Sens can just sign Hilary Duff? Only move Leafs fans in the city would respect.
