A couple of KHL signings to announce along with a few minor signings as well.
*-> It appears the enigmatic Russian Alexei Kovalev has found himself a new home. Rumors are spiralling out of Russia saying that Kovalev has signed with Alant Mytishchi of the KHL. It's still not 100% but I'm hearing from multiple KHL sources it is indeed a done deal and will be announced shortly.
*-> Another NHLer has left for the KHL as well today as Brent Sopel formerly of the Montreal Canadiens has taken off to play overseas with Metallurg Novokuznetsk.
*-> Mike Danton has also found himself a team for the upcoming season as the troubled forward signed on with IFK Ore of Division One in Sweden.

Trade! New York Islanders -> New Jersey
*-> The New York islanders have traded Trent Hunter to the New Jersey Devils for veteran Brian Rolston.
Strange move for the Islanders as they could have had Rolston virtually for free but yet Hunter was in the mix. The motive was right trying to get a veteran presence in their lineup but the prie was wrong in my books.
