I hope everyone's weekend went well. I had a busy but relaxing one, quite a bit of planning for my fall schedule. I'm working on a few projects for the site so hopefully they get going shortly and a regular flow and schedule will begin shortly.
Here is the weekend news you may have missed followed by this mornings rumors and news.
*-> Big Joe Thornton has agreed to an extension deal with the San Jose Sharks Saturday. Jumbo Joe will avoid free agency and remain a shark for the next 3 years. The deal is worth 21 million total. Great signing by the Sharks avoiding a huge distraction late in the season plus they got him at a bargain compared to the rest of the league.
*-> The Dallas Stars waived Fabian Brunnstrom and he cleared waivers and was assigned to Texas of the AHL while center Aaron Gagnon was recalled to fill his position.
*-> Stephane Veilleux has signed a deal with the Espoo Blues of the Finnish Elite league. Veilleux played last season for the Tampa Bay Lightning and had an unsuccessful tryout this season with the Bolts.
*-> Florida Panther Ville Koistinen is also headed to Finland to play with Ilves.
*-> A reported deal was being talked Saturday night before the Edmonton vs Calgary game. Its reported the two sides were unsuccessful but were in negotiations concerning Andrew Cogliano. Cogliano is reportedly high on the Flames want list and the Flames are looking to dump some cap space. The Flames reportedly offered veteran defenseman Corey Sarich and former Oiler Curtis Glenncross for Cogs. It appears the rumor is on hold atleast for now as both parties have not commented and nothing has taken place but that's not to say discussions didn't. To me Cogliano isn't really a good fit with Stajan back.
More later this afternoon including Ottawa, Colorado and Souray rumors.
