Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Morning + Trades

The last couple of days I've received a few e-mails about adding a comments section to my blog so in the next couple of days I'll be adding a forum again. Last time around it not many people chose to use it and would rather comment on each post but a forum has so many options and I feel is the better way to go. If it goes well I'll also look at adding a brief comment section per post.

Some KHL news then a couple of minor trades to tell you about.

*-> Former Montreal Canadien and Nashville Predator Oleg Petrov has found a new team for the season. Petrov will join AK Bars Kazan for the remainder of the season.

*-> In other KHL news Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk has confirmed interest in New York Ranger Mats Zuccarello.

*-> I'm hearing rumors of the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins talking shop this morning. The recently surging Bruins are reportedly seaking a depth defenseman and yes more offense although they have out scored their opponents 18-5 in the last 3 games played.

*-> Last night the Columbus Blue Jackets acquired Mark Letestu from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 4th round pick in 2012. Looks like the Jackets are trying to add anything cheap possible to help their ailing club. I'm hearing they need to make the playoffs this year or else so expect some kind of push to come.

*-> The Washington Capitals also made a minor deal this morning and dealt Francois Bouchard to the New York Rangers for defenseman Tomas Kundratek. Not much to comment on for this one except both teams look to be address depth needs at the AHL level. Doubtful ether will have any impact on their parant clubs.

More rumors around noon stay tuned!
