Ice Scoopz: Friday Afternoon + Minor Trade

*-> Jarkko Ruutu has officially signed with Jokerit of the SEL as previously rumored on Ice Scoopz. The deal appears to be a one year deal. Word on the street had several try-out offers on the table for Ruutu but it came down to going into September with a for sure deal.

*-> TSN has reported that the Vancouver Canucks have resigned restricted free agent forward Victor Oreskovich to a new contract. It is rumored to be a 1 year deal.

*-> The Boston Bruins have also resigned a restricted free agent today by locking in Andrew Bodnarchuk to a 1 year deal on a two-way contract. Rumor has the deal around 625K$ for the season.

*-> TSN has also broke the signing of Kyle Wellwood to the Winnipeg Jets. The deal is a 1 year deal worth 700K$ for the season.

*-> The Chicago Blackhawks have acquired David Toews the brother of Jonathan Toews for future considerations off the New York Islanders.

*-> I'm hearing whispers out of the KHL that Lokomotiv Yaroslavl fully intend on playing through the tragedy and using some of their MHL talent as well as an "expansion draft" scenario the league has proposed. The rumored draft would consist of any players not protected by their club. I'm hearing nothing is official yet as most North American media are reporting.
