*-> Veteran gritty center Stephane Yelle is expected to announce his retirement in the near future if he doesn't attract much interest in the near future. Yelle is currently working for the Colorado Avalanche as a scout and has a permanant position waiting for him with the Aves when he choses to call it quits. Expect him to retire shortly as theres much interest for aging veteran players.
*-> More rumors out of the Nations Capitol today defenseman Brian Lee is apparently the subject of interest out of Minnesota. Many are speculating struggling prospect and Minnesota native Lee could be included in any deal. The Wild have a history of taking risks on struggling underdeveloped prospects and it has paid rewards in the past. Guilliame Lattendresse is a prime example of a struggling prospect swap which leads many to believe a James Sheppard for Brain Lee deal. It's too early to tell but the Minnesota native card may work out for the Sens dumping Lee.
*-> Another Sens rumor this morning which I don't necessarily believe and many fans of the site will be posting angry comments but I shall report it anyways. ESPN remember not Ice Scoopz is reporting that the Sens are indeed shopping Jason Spezza once again. I'd like to say this has been beat to death and I cant see Spezza being sent anywhere as he has a no movement clause. Los Angeles is being linked on several other rumor sites but once again very very slim chance if theres even any chance in my opinion.
*-> Several KHL teams are courting Wayne Gretzky as a coach. Wayne Gretzky is being highly sought after in Europe but reports have said he prefers to stay in the National Hockey League rather than head to Europe. The KHL is offering ridiculous money once again to try and lure the Great One.

Scoopz,
I won't shoot you for being the messenger, but I might kick you in the balls a few times...Spezza is going nowhere, Murray pointed a lot of fingers, but none at Spezza. I also think Spezz has won some points with CC and BM for playing through his groin injury.
If BM could turn Lee into Sheppard, I'd be ecstatic. I don't know if Shep will ever realize his potential, but this team is painfully short of forward prospects and there will be no room for Lee in another year when Wiercioche, Runblad and Cowen all join Karlsson, Gonch, Carkner and, likely, Phillips on the back end.

Send Lee to Minnesota, but I am wary of Shepperd. Maybe in a package for Havlat?
I am not even going to dignify this Spezza rhubarb with a response.
Good idea: send your only creative offensive forward away for scraps when your team is desperate for any kind of offense.
Enough of this nonsense scoopz.
