Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Evening

*-> NHL scouts have been scouting goaltender Rob Zepp of the Mannheim Polar Bears of the DEL. Zepps contract runs out this spring and could return to North America after a few strong seasons in Europe.

*-> The Boston Bruins are looking at centers to replace the injured Marc Savard. There isn't much available around the league for centers at the moment but New Jerseys Jason Arnott and Brian Rolston. No word on whether or not that the Bruins would actually be interested.

*-> Speaking of Jason Arnott the recent post of Montreal scouting the Florida-New Jersey game has brought more rumors into the mix. Montreal could have been scouting New Jersey Devil Jason Arnott as they still look to add a big center to their tiny organization. Word around Montreal is that after their Tuesday loss to the Flyers the Habs really want and need a physical center or rugged power-forward to help out against bigger teams like Philly. Rumors also have the Canadiens looking at physical fouth liners who can play the defensive side of the game and also drop the gloves. Martin's request to the Montreal management is that the player has to be able to play the game and not just enforce it's been reported.
