Pominville rumours heat up

There are rumours that GM Dave Nonis has turned up the burner on acquiring Jason Pominville from the Buffalo Sabres. It's believed that he is offering Luc Bourdon and Matt Cooke. Nonis has recently said that he is looking for help in the top 6, and was quite upset with his team's performance in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Flyers, calling the effort "lazy and stupid" and adding that if the players "don’t want to work, we’ll find others that will." Coach Alain Vigneault had this to say about Ryan Shannon's demotion: "I'll give you an honest answer," "He doesn't need waivers and we need to move some guys." Source

The ZSC Lions of the Nationalliga A in Switzerland have already started plans for next year and have an offer on the table for Phoenix Coyotes goalie David Aebischer. New CEO Peter Zahner has used his contacts to hopefully persuade Aebischer to come to Switzerland next year, provided he doesn't sign with another NHL team. Source

Ronald Petrovicky has signed with Modo in the Swedish Elite League. Petrovicky has been playing with Dukla Trencin, but will be joining Modo on October 24. Source
