Ice Scoopz: Monday Afternoon

*-> The Calgary Flames have placed Niklas Hagman on waivers today, many are saying this could be a step towards the Flames making a deal for a major playoff push.

*-> The Washington Capitals are looking hard at Tim Connolly it's reported. The Capitals are desperate to add any kind of jump to their team and need a second line center badly. I'm hearing the Capitals are talking with the Sabres big time as the Caps are also interested in Craig Rivet. I'm hearing Alexander Semin is also on the Sabre's list and with new ownership the team is looking to make a splash. Darcy Regier has also said he's not looking for any kind of rental player but a player who would be under contract for next season and would be open to shopping potential UFA's to better his club for a playoff push and for next season. This all makes sense, and that's a move I can see both parties interested in especially if Buffalo can sweeten the deal by tweaking it a little for Washington.

*-> While on the Sabre's I'm still hearing the Chicago Blackhawks and now the Vancouver Canucks are in on Steve Montador. One has to think if their going to take a playoff run they may want to keep some of their vets.

*-> The reports of Kristian Huselius wanting out of Columbus seams to keep gaining momentum by the day. Reports have Kristian Huselius wanting to be moved after a falling out with the organization after being a healthy skratch last week. Huselius has reportedly told his agent to find him a new home and he would apparently love to return to the Calgary Flames. Goodluck with the Flames unless they can seriously shed some cap and I doubt Jay Feaster would part with any future or picks for Huselius but hey it is a Calgary thing to bring back repeat players over and over. I'm sure several other teams could be interested in Huselius if the Jackets were to shop him.
