*-> The Los Angeles Kings have invited former New York Islander Trent Hunter to a pro try-out.
*-> Brad Marchand has come to terms with the Boston Bruins signing a two year deal worth 5 Million dollars overall. 2 million$ the first year and 3 million$ the second.
*-> I'm hearing Sergei Samsonov has received several offers from KHL teams but is looking to remain in the NHL. It's reported that the Pittsburgh Penguins may have extended a try-out offer but his agent maintains that their still in talks with one team about a possible signing. I'm hearing the Islanders could be that team.
*-> While on the Islanders, Mr. Alexei Yashin is still trying to figure out his future while skating with the Isles. Yashin was leaning towards Russia but now that Yaroslavl has dropped to a lower div it's looking like a return to Long Island is looking more and more likely especially with the Islanders cap situation.
*-> I'm also hearing talks between Drew Doughty and the Los Angeles Kings brass has picked up again but both sides are far apart still. The Kings are sticking with not letting his salary go higher than Anze Kopitar's 6.8$ million.
*-> Zach Bogosian whose in the same boat as Doughty maintains he's not concerned and will continue to train and practice with the Jets as he figures a deal with be done before camp starts. Some are saying the Montreal Canadiens are highly interested in Bogosian but the Jets are asking for an arm and a leg or according to some Scott Gomez which doesnt make sense.
*-> Finally fellow RFA Luke Schenn is all but done. The Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to announce a deal by Friday. I'm hearing around 4 to 5 million per year.
*-> Yesterday the Winnipeg Jets confirmed the invite extended to Janne Pesonen of AK Bars Kazan to their fall training camp.
