Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Noon

Congrats to Ottawa native and friend Paul Byron on scoring his first NHL goal against the Ottawa Senators last night!

*-> Craig Conroy has been placed on waivers by the Calgary Flames this morning. It's expected he'll clear waivers and be ether be bought out or assigned to the AHL. There's still a rumor thats been reported earlier this season that Conroy has an offer to become the Calgary Flames color commentator. I've also heard the Flames will offer him an office position. We'll have to wait and see.

****Sorry Folks, for some reason the entire post didn't go through earlier so here's the complete post.

*-> The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly willing to part with longtime Oiler Ales Hemsky for a steap price. It's believed that the Oil are asking for a high draft pick and a high level prospect for Hemsky. Several teams have believed to have contacted the Oilers but just to inquire about Hemskys injury status. However there is nothing serious at the moment. Hemsky could definatly bring a decent reward in if they were to part with him but Oilers management is still not sold on trading Ales yet. I'm not sold on them trading him unless there's a injury concern for the future something that most teams would stear clear of.

*-> Evgeni Nabokov is standing his ground with the Islanders as they suspended him today for the remainder of the season unless he reports to Long Island. The Islanders are also reportedly going to file a complaint to the NHL which could possibly force Nabokov to play next season for the Islanders for the same price.
