Some more waiver activity as expected today.
*-> Steve Bernier of the Florida Panthers has cleared waivers.
*-> Mike Smith of Tampa has also cleared reentry waivers today.
*-> Kris Newbury of the New York Rangers, Nick Boynton of the Chicago Blackhawks, Wade Belak of the Nashville Predators and Todd Ford of the Washington Capitals have all been placed on waivers according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
*-> The Los Angeles Kings have waived forward Marco Sturm this morning, will someone take a flyer on Sturm?
*-> The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed Mike Commodore on re-entry waivers with hopes someone will claim him and get him his wish to leave Columbus.
*-> Rumors have Brad Boyes being looked at by the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals. Rumor has it Toronto also has taken a look at Boyes. I doubt the Penguins will bring in another contract but Shero has said another move could be in the cards for the Pens. However that move is rumored to be a blueliner for depth but don't count the Pens out of anything. The Capitals might be a good fit as they need a center badly and have yet to make a move to help their club get back on track.
*-> The Calgary Flames are rumored to have made a claim for Craig Rivet I'm hearing.
*-> The New York Rangers and the Columbus Blue Jackets are both fighting over the same two players it's being said. The New York Rangers are pushing hard for Bryan McCabe with Sergei Gonchar reported to be plan B while the Blue Jackets are working towards a deal for Sergei Gonchar with Bryan McCabe as their backup plan. The Buffalo Sabres also have interest in McCabe it's said.
*-> Prospect Kirill Petrov is talking contract with the New York Islanders.
More in a bit as we get ready for a crazy weekend leading up to the deadline as I'm sure there will be a flurry of pre deadline day moves. Remember coverage starts Monday at 7am on Ice Scoopz. I'll be updating everything and anything I hear all day with complete trade coverage. Tune in for all the action.
