*-> It looks like Jonathan Cheechoo may have found himself a home. He wont be suiting up in the near future for any NHL teams but will be heading to the Worchester Sharks of the AHL to try and work his way back to the big leagues. His former Shark connections may have pulled some strings, still not too sure if this is a tryout of he signed a deal but I'm leaning towards deal.
*-> Another try out candidate appears to have had the opposite luck than Cheechoo as Peter Schaefer is rumored to have an offer the Canucks have presented him. It appears to be a 2 way 1 year deal the Canucks brass have been leaning towards. We'll have to follow this one up, it's a little strange gicven the Canucks cap issues but if it's a 2 way deal they'd be able to relieve the hit by sending him to Manitoba to start the season.
*-> The Buffalo Sabres have surprisingly sent Matt Ellis and Jonas Enroth down to the Portland Pirates of the AHL.
*-> Steve McCarthy formerly of the Atlanta Thrashers and Chicago Wolves is heading to Finland to play for TPS.
*-> Erik Ersberg has been placed on waivers by the Los Angeles Kings after being dethroned by Jonthan Bernier. Ersberg does have quite a bit of interest around the league and if he isn't claimed the Kings may be able to work out a deal. The Nashville Predators, Montreal Canadiens and the Flyers are reported to be interested. The Chicago Blackhawks are reportedly happy with their tandem of Turco and Crawford heading into the new season.
*-> Niklas Persson's North American experience was a quick one. He has left the Tampa Bay Lightning organization and headed to the KHL for Neftekhimek.
*-> Former NHLer Eric Perrin has signed a 1 year deal in Finland to play for JYP.
*-> Alexander Burmistrov has signed a 3 year entry level deal with the Atlanta Thrashers as previously mentioned. Great signing for the Thrashers, he just needs to bulk up and he'll be a force.
*-> It's been reported that veteran Kirk Maltby has been placed on waivers by the Detroit Red Wings.
