*-> Victor Tikonov has been loaned to CSKA Moscow of the KHL by the Phoenix Coyotes. A new trend has been started and is continuing among young Russian players. The money and the increased ice time are a huge temptation rather than toil away in the AHL. Although its not really a threat as he's coming back next summer for training camp with intent to crack the roster but I do believe it could stunt their development.
*-> Eric Staal could be available many pundits are saying as the Carolina Hurricanes Are almost ready to start a rebuilding phase. Edmonton has made a pitch according to reports which includes Andrew Cogliano and Tom Gilbert plus a 1st rounder. I don't think the Canes are ready to part ways with their best player so Staal should be safe. As for Cogliano he's most likely going to be trade bait all season long as he's expendable.
More tonight..

Ice Scoopz: Thursday Afternoon
*-> The Washington Capitols are still trying to get rid of Michael Nylander. Reportedly the KHL teams interested have stalled and are rethinking the whole situation. The Caps would love to get rid of him before the christmas break. It might be in their best interest to play him for a week or so to showcase him.
*-> Several Toronto Radio stations have reported the deal between The Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks is revolving around Patrick Sharp as a centerpiece. I highly doubt this though.
