Ice Scoopz: Saturday Morning

*-> Reports out of Germany have Corey Locke heading to the Swiss Liga after his contract with the Senators runs out. Locke has several connections in Switzerland including Kevin Constantine who previously coached Locke. Locke is highly sought after in Europe for his dominance in the AHL. I personally don't think Locke will leave if unless he gets top dollar as he's one of the highest paid AHLers.

*-> Jon Sim has been suspended by the New York Islanders for refusing to report to the Bridgeport-Sound Tigers. He's been placed on waivers and if he clears the team will dump his contract free of charge due to his refusal to play. Sim is expected to go play in Swizterland as well as soon as he clears.

Scoopz,

Very disappointing that so many teams have decided Locke is another Denis Hamel.

The Senators should be giving the kid every chance considering the relative success they've had with Carkner.

It's not that I think he has the same vision and potential, but Locke reminds me a lot of Marc Savard's struggles early in his career.
