Ice Scoopz: Friday Evening

*-> ESPN has ended the Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins trade rumors. The recent rumors had Robin Regehr headed to the Bruins for centerman Marc Savard. ESPN has reported theres no truth to the rumors and Savard is not being shopped by the team. Regehr reportedly is however on the block as the Flames look to find more offensive help once.

*-> The Phoenix Coyotes are attempting to shop Petr Prucha around the NHL. The Coyote management are surprised so far that no one has taken any interest in claiming Petr Prucha of waivers. Management has said they'd like to keep Prucha on the Yotes but arn't happy about his salary still on the books. They also have informed Prucha if he is unhappy they look at the next option and that would be to loan him to a European club. According to reports several have already contacted Pruchas agent.

*-> The Ottawa Senators are working on a deal to send a defenseman to Columbus. It's been reported that Ottawa is attempting to shop Filip Kuba once again. The Jackets are desperate for an offensive d-man and it's rumored that ether Filip Kuba or another Ottawa blueliner could be headed to Columbus. The Jackets are dangling Nikita Filatov as trade bait some are saying. Toronto is another team thats rumored to be in the mix in Columbus. Howsen reportedly has had his eyes on Francois Beauchemin for a bit now but Columbus management have stated they have yet talked any deal and wouldn't say if Beauchemin was on their radar or not. No confirmation from this one from ether of my sources except Kuba out could be a possibility some time this season if the offer was decent. Ottawa is also once again trying to showcase Brian Lee and is trying to push a deal. Another Ottawa name thats making rumor waves is Mike Fisher. Nashville is the obvious team that keeps coming up.

*-> The New Jersey Devils have told the Jersey media and Martin Brodeur that he will not be traded. Big Lou wanted to end all the talk surrounding his franchise goalie and put an end to the rumors of a possible Brodeur deal. He will stand by his goalie and look at making any other necessary changes to right the ship of his struggling club.

*-> Finally the Dallas rumors mentioned earlier were concerning Langenbruner so we can end those.
