*-> The Philly Flyers are showcasing Brian Boucher as Michael Leighton gets set to return. The Back netminder has player back to back games for the first time in ages. Sergei Bobrovsky is clearly the teams number one choice going forward and as the team pushes its back against the cap, Boucher could provide a little relief. At the moment there isn't many teams looking for goaltending help. Calgary is the only team I've heard so far persuing Boucher as they look to add a stable back up plan as big Henrik Karlsson managment isnt comfortable with yet.
*-> Bob McKenzie has reported the enigmatic Petr Prucha has been placed on waivers by the Phoenix Coyotes along with Chicago's Garnett Exelby and Vancouver has placed Peter Schaefer on reentry waivers apparently for buyout purposes. Prucha may be given another shot while the other two seam destined to stay in the AHL or be bought out. Prucha might attract some interest from an offensively challenged team such as the Wil, Sens or Preds.
*-> More and more Marc-Andre Bergeron rumors continue to fly around the league. Tampa Bay Lightning appear to be the leaders in signing him while the Montreal Canadiens have now apparently spoken to his agent about a possible return but it's said a lot rides on the final Markov verdict and the Weber audition.
*-> Andrei Zyuzin has signed a deal with HK Atlant of the KHL, he played last season for SKA St. Petersburg.
*-> Denis Shvidki has left Yugra Khanti-Mansiysk of the KHL to go play for the Krefeld Pinguine of the DEL.
*-> Toronto Maple Leaf prospect Mikhail Stefanovich is reportedly unhappy with his parent club as they have now assigned him to the ECHL. Stefanovich has reportedly been in contact with the KHL club Dinamo Minsk about a possible loan as he feels he should be getting first line minutes in the AHL for the Marlies not in the ECHL.
