*-> Quinton Laing formerly of the Washington Capitols has signed a deal with the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL this morning.
*-> Rumors are swirling around the Boston Bruins the past few days. The Bruins are looking to dump some cap space in order to start making room for Marco Sturm and Marc Savard both of which are on long time injury reserve. Marco Sturm has been speculated as a possible salary dump but reports out of Boston claim Marco Sturm has not been asked to waive his no trade and will not if asked. The Bruins have been linked heavily to the Phoenix Coyotes and the Montreal Canadiens and GM Peter Chiarelli and his team of scouts were seen attending the Coyotes / Habs game Monday night then the Coyotes / Sens game last night. Its been rumored that the B's have been looking at Keith Yandle. The Bruins have been offering up Blake Wheeler as return for the Yotes. Montreal has also been said to be interested in Blake Wheeler as is the Toronto Maple Leafs. A deal should be coming soon for Boston whether a trade or the demotion of Michael Ryder to get set for the return of Sturm.
*-> While on the subject of the Leafs, Brian Burke has admitted to Toronto radio that he has had several offers the past week he's sitting on and wswilling to look at taking a heavy contract in return eating up cap space. Burke is very cap savy and has taken a unmovable contract on in the past ie. Olaf Kolzig. Many are still saying the Leafs and Dallas is one of the deals which would send Kaberle to Dallas for Brad Richards but i still think that Dallas wont move Richards unless they are out of the playoff picture. Bob McKenzie is reporting that it's two bottom half of the roster deals so nothing major on the horizon and this is just a ploy to stir up any offers out there. I'm guessing that he's right on this one. I can see the Leafs making a move they still want that center for Kessel. Wheeler could be an option but I think Burke wants to aim bigger. I'm thinking along the lines of Savard who is still reported to be unhappy with the B's for attempting to shop him this summer after signing him to a deal. Savard has said he'd waive his clause for TO.
*-> Dustin Penner to Ottawa is a rumor I'm looking at today. It looks like Murray is still high on Penner after trying to obtain last year in the Heatley ordeal. I'm trying to dig deaper in this one so we'll have to see.
