Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Afternoon

*-> The Matt Moulson waiting game has begun as there's been a ton of conflicting reports over the past few days. Many rumor hounds are saying that the Islanders are pushing a deal to trade Moulson to what I'm hearing is Boston while TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie says it's not Boston IF they are dealing him. The team has told the media they would like to resign him and Moulson has said he'd like to remain on Long Island so I can't see a deal yet. Maybe if a deal isn't close by deadline day maybe. I can see Boston interested as well but Bob McKenzie is usually bang on so we should safely say that one shouldn't happen.....atleast anytime soon.

*-> Reports out of Russia have Vityaz of the KHL trading leading scorer and former New York Islander Chris Simon to Moscow Dynamo. Alexei Zhamnov the Vityaz GM has yet to comment on such a deal but Andrei Nazarov (former San Jose Shark) has denied a deal. Reports have it listed as a done deal so we'll have to wait on this one.

*-> The Detroit Red Wings reportedly have interest in Chris Phillips as well it's being said.

*-> Some are saying Steve Weiss out of Florida could be had for the right price. I'm not too sure they'd deal Weiss but I said that about Nathen Horton as well. Another Panther that is rumored to be avaliable is veteran Cory Stillman.

*-> Michael Sammuelsson of the Vancouver Canucks is reportedly avaliable once Sami Salo returns and Vancouvers wave of injuries ends it's being said, more on this later.
