*-> IIHF has officially banned Jiri Hudler from international and has disallowed his transfer to the KHL. Not much more is known but Hudler may be forced to return to the Red Wings before camp.
*-> Over the last few days Mats Sundins name has been circulating. Rumors have it the Rangers are pushing hard to get the former Leaf Captain but he still is unsure if he still has the drive to play. It is believed the Leafs would also love to have him return only at a discount price however.
*-> Mike Comries name has been linked to the Oilers the past few days and the Oilers organization has yet to deny interest. Comrie would rather play in NYC but may have to look elsewhere if no offer gets made soon.

Ice Scoopz: Friday Evening
*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs have invited former Leaf Jason Allison to a tryout with the club.
*-> Alexei Kovalev has made some suspicious comments this afternoon about his future with the Senators. Kovalev stated today his still wishes he could play for the Habs again and acknowledged he made a bad personal decesion by keeping the Habs waiting over money as he wishes to retire their. He claims he's visited several times since and calls Montreal home still and would love to retire with the organization. Despite his confusing and misleading comments he still remains focused for the next 2 years for the Sens. Rumors have already begun to spin however including one which would take place if Heatley decided to return to the Sens. If Heatley was to return the Sens would have to dump a bit of cap space sending Kovalev back to the Habs for Plekanec, and a pick. The Habs would get Kovalev back along with Jason Smith. This is highly unlikely but never impossible. The sens would love to keep Heatley and Kovalev both in the fold.
*-> Peter Forsberg has taken a big step to once again making a comeback. The star Swede has been added to the Olympic hopeful list and last night returned to the ice without pain or complication for the SEL's Modo. Forsberg says he should know how he feels after a few more games played with the puck. A couple teams have shown interest in him including his longtime club Colorado and also the New York Rangers.

New Schedule Release Date
Well I'm finally over this damn flu and it feels good to be back and good to be doing something other than watching Divorce court and sleeping. My apologies for the lack of posting but I've had a slitting headache and couldn't bare to stare at a computer screen. Luckily there really wasn't anything missed since things have been extremely slow as of late.
As Hockey Canada and the NHL Training Camps get set to begin and the new NHL schedule has been released I figure I should release Ice Scoopz's new hockey year schedule and whats next to come. I've got several new ideas and a lot of exciting things planned for the upcoming season.
Last season was a good 1st season and I really want to make this your number 1 stop for anything hockey.
I know last season the pace was a bit slow and the schedule struggled at times to keep up so my number 1 concern this season is to stick to my guns and get a good flow going. I really want to start off fresh and stay on track this time around. So starting September 1st the new season begins in my mind and therefore so will the new Ice Scoopz schedule.
I should have the full weekly schedule + monthly events posted up by this Saturday along with a description of changes and a list of things to come. Stay tuned! Tomorrow posting will resume as normal and back to business....

Ice Scoopz: Tuesday Morning
*-> Todd Bertuzzi has signed a 1 year deal worth 1.5$mil with his former club the Detroit Red Wings. This seams like a good deal to be. Bertuzzi is a reliable second line offensive source.
*-> The New York Rangers have signed Vaclav Prospal to a one year deal worth 1.1$mil per season. Prospal at 1.1$m is a great deal. He's still a consistent scorer and should easily replace Nikolai Zherdev.
*-> The New Jersey Devils are extremely close to signing Justin Peters. Peters has said his heart is in Buffalo but he doubts they will resign him and he plans to make a decesion shortly.
*-> Former Montreal Canadian Francis Bouillon has had several teams kicking around but no set offers yet. Rumor has it the Canadians are considering a training camp invite and the Pittsburgh Penguins have contacted him about a depth role.
*-> Phillipe Boucher is curently considering retirement after no receiving any decent offers from any NHL teams. The Pittsburgh Penguins have offered him a depth role as a 7th D man but he wants to have a greater role. Boucher also says that the KHL or any other European league is out of the question.
