*-> The Florida Panthers Steve Reinpreit has cleared waivers and been assigned to Rochester of the AHL. The Cats had reportedly pushed a trade hard but had no success.
*-> Today Brian Burke has acknowledged that he has had teams calling in regards to Kris Versteeg and even received a pretty good offer. Burke also said the talks were just inquiries and nothing beyond the kicking tires phase. Burke also wouldn't comment if Toronto was shopping Versteeg.
*-> Maxim Kitsyn will not be returning to Russia after the 2011 World Juniors as Bob McKenzie has reported that the young Russian has signed a deal with the St. Michaels Majors.
*-> The New Jerseys Devils are reportedly to be working their phones hard. Devils management is reportedly ready to pull the plug on the season and begin selling off the weak links. Jason Arnott is reportedly on the block as Danius Zubrus. Some are even saying Ilya Kovalchuk could be had IF there was a taker.
*-> TSN has reported that Michael Leighton has been waived by the Flyers. The Flyers have made their goaltending controversy decision as their playoff hero will most likely be ether claimed or sent down to the AHL. One has to think a team would bite on a free Leighton. This has to be more bad news for Evgeni Nabokov as yet another goalie is available without the risk of waivers. The Islanders may take a look as will the Sens with Pascal Leclaire out due to injury. I've also heard San Jose.
