*-> The New Jersey Devils have officially asked captain Jaime Langenbruner to waive his no trade yesterday it's been reported yesterday by several New Jersey media outlets. Langenbruner has apparently told the Devils he will accept a trade for the team but it's reported he will pick his destination from a list the Devils provide for him. St. Louis has been looking at Langenbruner as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs. The lastest rumor out of Jersey is that Martin Brodeur will be next to be asked to waive his no trade clause for the good of the team as well. No official word on that one however, personally it could be a longshot, I beleive Marty will want to retire in New Jersey.
*-> The word in Columbus is that recent healthy scratch and struggling Mike Commodore has asked for a no trade possibly dating as far back as two weeks ago and was placed on waivers yesterday. Scott Howsen is reportedly working every option possible for any kind of deal to get Commodore off the roster and off the books. It's being said that the Blue Jackets want another defenseman in return but will settle for almost anything to rid themselves of the headache and possible locker room issues. Several teams have expressed interest but in all situations require the Jackets to place Commodore on re-entry waivers first. It looks unlikely that the Jackets find find a taker till the team takers the next step and places him on re-entry.
*-> The New York Rangers are looking at bringing Kyle Wellwood back to the NHL from the HK Atlant of the KHL.
*-> The Florida Panthers have loaned Steven Reinprecht to the Manheim Eagles of the DEL for the remainder of the season. Reinprecht struggled to hold a spot with the Panthers and the Cats also struggled finding a taker.
*-> Last night New Islanders signed Milan Jurcina to a 1 year contract extension worth 1.6$ million. Jurcina has played well for the Isles this season and with the trading of James Wisniewski leaves a lot of ice time to fill.
More rumors this afternoon including Ottawa, Phoenix and Dallas rumors.
