Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

*-> Word around the league has the Ottawa Senators frantically trying to make a deal to unload defenseman Brian Lee who has been a healthy skratch for most of the season. Reports late yesterday night had Lee headed to the Blue Jackets but they were dismissed this morning. The Minnesota Wild have only mild interest as well. It looks like the Sens may have to put together a package deal or take a waiver chance.

*-> Lots of speculation around Ales Hemsky thismorning, many are saying that he could be part of a deal to a star centerman it's being reported. I highly doubt the Oilers would part with Ales unless they received a player of higher value and something to help their rebuilding effort which isn't going to happen. Tambellini has even said don't look for the Oilers to make a major move since they still are in the rebuild process. So I guess that means you can disclude Dustin Penner from that list unless they get a steal of a deal for him too. Souray should be the only name mentioned and even then his value is still at an alltime low.

*-> Peter Schafer soon to be formerly of the Vancouver Canucks has thanked the Vancouver organization for his time there and has said he plans to shop himself around the NHL in the upcoming weeks after refusing to play in the AHL. If there's no interest he said he'd rather play in Europe than the minors.
