Updated NHL News!


More Updates!!

Anaheim Ducks: as of today the Ducks have traded Chris Pronger in return for Lupul and Scbisa, or something like that. Anyhow, sad to see Prongs go, but I think he's not fitting into what the Ducks need now. When the Ducks won the cup, brutal force was the way to go; teams adjusted and now can defend against that so its back to the drawing board which has scoring and speed written on it. Also, late today the Ducks re-signed Erik (Spell) Christiansen to a one year deal along with Troy Bodie. Scott and Teemu both returning to Ducks for 1 more year. Also, Teemu has notified the Ducks he will retire after that making this upcoming season his retirement tour!

Update: Teemu was interviewed as saying he never said this would be his last season playing.

The other Jonas: GUSTAVSSON that is, won't pick a team until...after July 1st. Why? Make a bigger splash! He's the most sought after rookie goalie, and as of now everyone and their mother think he's headed to Toronto.

Update: Toronto Maple Leafs is the home of the Monster!

The biggest Non-Trade today: Heatley was traded, then not traded, then might be traded tomorrow to the Edmonton Oilers! In a deal that supposedly will send Dustin "It's my fault contracts are so expensive" Penner and a few other bums to Ottawa in return for Heatley and some souvenirs! This deal was apparently finalized tonight around 5 p.m. PST, but then something happened and Heatley hasn't officially agreed to being traded, so the world is holding its collective breath tonight for some sort of conclusion tomorrow...stay tuned.

FYI: Heatley still in limbo.

Koivu: This is the rumor that won't die. Apparently the Canadians have declined to offer Koivu and offer which would make him available tomorrow, which for some reason means he'll come to Anaheim. Hey, I'll take him, but first let's see if this rumor is true.

Updated: As more time goes by, the reality of Koivu coming to Anaheim seems more likely.

Beaucheman: This guy is still without a team! I can not, for the life of me, understand why anybody has not swept this guy off his feet yet. The last thing I read, was that the Kings and Frankie were a year apart on terms.

Update: Frankie is a Maple Leaf!

Kovalev no longer a Canadian, instead goes to Ottawa
Again, these are the deals that are of interest to me, so don't message me saying I left so and so out. I'm aware of that. More updates as they happen.
