Colorado Avalanche forward Jaroslav Hlinka has signed a two-year contract with Linköping of the Swedish Elite League. Brochu's take: In 63 games in 2007-2008, Hlinka scored 8 goals and 20 assists. His turtleneck will be missed. Source
The Chicago Blackhawks have signed a trio of restricted Group 2 free agents to contracts. Forward Adam Burish, defenseman James Wisniewski and defenseman/forward Dustin Byfuglien have all agreed to terms with the 'Hawks.

European rumors update April 28, 2008
As promised, this is another edition of Brochu's European rumour roundup:
The Edmonton Journal is reporting that Russian team Ak Bars Kazan is rumored to be preparing to make a $4 million salary contract offer to Montreal Canadiens forward Andrei Kostitsyn, a restricted free agent this summer. Brochu's take: It's unlikely that Kostitsyn will sign in Russia. He loves Montreal and his brother is playing there. Kostitsyn will certainly take a deal similiar in salary to stay with the Habs. Source
Columbus Blue Jackets forward David Vyborny has left the NHL and signed a three-year contract with HC Sparta Praha of the Czech Extraliga. He will also function as the club's sports manager, the Czech news agency CTK reported. Vyborny's father is also the head coach of Sparta. Brochu's take: Rumors of him leaving the NHL have been reported all season. He does have an out-clause, but it's unlikely he will returning to North America anytime soon. Source
New Jersey Devils defenseman Karel Rachunek has left the NHL and signed a two-year deal with Dynamo Moskva (Moscow) of the Russian Super League. Brochu's take: I don't think Rachunek will be returning to the NHL for a third time. He's good as gone. Source
Devils forward Noah Clarke has left the organization and signed with Ambri Piotta of the Swiss Nationalliga A.
There are rumors that New York Rangers forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau will leave the organization and play in Europe for 2008-2009. Both Malmo of the SEL and Hamburg Freezers of the DEL have expressed an interest. Source
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Andreas Karlsson is rumored to be signing for Frolunda of the SEL. Source
The Phoenix Coyotes have signed goalie Joel Gistedt to an entry-level contract. The Coyotes are also close to signing defenseman Jonas Ahnelov to a contract.
