The Montreal Canadiens have traded Kyle Chipchura to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a 4th round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Brochu's take: Chipchura's lack of offense in the pros has severely hampered his development. Maybe a change of scenery will help.
The Chicago Blackhawks have called a press conference for Thursday afternoon when it's expected that they will announce contract extensions for Patrik Kane, Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith. Kane and Toews deals is believed to be both in the 5 year range, while Keith's deal is in the 13 year range. TSN's Bob McKenzie believes that the Hawks may place defenseman Brent Sopel and his $2.4 million on waivers. Brochu's take: The Hawks are pretty much at the max of their salary cap for next season, and they still might need to free up some "tagging room". Moves may be coming soon.
The New York Rangers have claimed forward Erik Christensen off waivers from the Anaheim Ducks. The Rangers have also placed goalie Steve Valiquette on waivers.
The Atlanta Thrashers have placed defenseman Noah Welch on waivers.

Hockey and NHL rumors for Dec 2, 2009
The Boston Bruins have signed forward Marc Savard to a 7-year contract extension, with an annual salary cap hit of $4.2 million. Brochu's take: Not a bad cap hit for a centre that can get you 80-90 points a season. This should help alleviate the Bruins' cap woes, but they need some more firepower in their lineup.
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed defenseman Oskars Bartulis to a three-year, $1.8 million contract extension.
The Anaheim Ducks have placed forward Erik Christenson on waivers.
The San Jose Sharks have claimed defenseman Jay Leach off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens.

Heatley deal not dead, latest signings
The NHL rumor world was on fire yesterday as news filtered out that the Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers have a deal in place for Dany Heatley, but it was revealed that Heatley did not waive his no trade clause to go to Edmonton. The deal would have sent Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano and Ladislav Smid to the Sens in exchange for Heatley. The much-talked $4 million bonus will only be paid after 11:59 PM July 1st (today), so there's still time for the Senators to work out the deal. Brochu's take: TSN is reporting that Heatley has not flat out refused the trade, he has just not done anything. This deal could still be on.
Latest signings: (BTW, I have moved my Twitter gadget up, for easier viewing)
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Colton Orr to a four-year, $4 million contract.
The Florida Panthers have re-signed forward Radek Dvorak to a 2-year, $3.4 million contract.
The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed forwar Erik Christensen to a one-year contract.
The Dallas Stars have re-signed forward Jere Lehtinen to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
The New Jersey Devils have re-signed defenseman Johnny Oduya to a three-year, $10.5 million contract.

Trade deadline wrap-up, Part 3
Part 3:
The Phoenix Coyotes also traded forward Daniel Carcillo to the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Scottie Upshall and a 2nd round pick. Brochu's take: I think the Coyotes got the better of the trade, as Upshall's upside is better than Carcillo, and the 'Yotes also get a 2nd rounder.
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired defenceman Kyle McLaren from the San Jose Sharks for a sixth-round pick.
The Anaheim Ducks have traded forward Travis Moen and defenseman Kent Huskins to the San Jose Sharks for prospect Nick Bonino, goalie Timo Pielmeier and a conditional draft pick. Brochu's take: Moen will make a big difference (especially in the playoffs) for the Sharks. Also, it certainly looks like the Ducks are looking ahead to next year.
The Ducks also sent prospect Eric O'Dell to the Atlanta Thrashers for forward Erik Christensen.
The Ducks also traded forward Samuel Pahlsson, defenseman Logan Stephenson and a conditional pick in the 2009 draft to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman James Wisniewski and forward Petri Kontiola. Brochu's take: Pahlsson was one of the most coveted players on the market, and he will be money in the playoffs. The draft pick is undetermined at this point.

Ducks/Canucks trade, Jokinen waived
I will be blogging shortly after TSN's Countdown to TradeCentre NHL trade deadline special with any rumors that haven't been reported lately.
The Vancouver Canucks have traded forward Mike Brown to the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman Nathan McIver. McIver had cleared waiver earlier Thursday.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have placed forward Jussi Jokinen on waivers.
According to Pierre McGuire on the Team 1040 radio in Vancouver, several NHL teams have been inquiring about Canucks defenseman Shane O'Brien. McGuire reported that it's well known that GM Mike Gillis is shopping O'Brien around the league. Brochu's take: Rumors are that the Toronto Maple Leafs are very interested in him.
Pierre LeBrun is reporting that the Atlanta Thrashers are shopping forward Erik Christensen, and some teams are interested. Brochu's take: LeBrun also has a list of the latest rumors, but nothing new other than Christensen. He could be had for a mid-round pick. Source
Adrian Dater on the Denver Post is reporting reports scouts from the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers were at the Colorado Avalanche-Calgary Flames game. Source

Canadiens scouting Flames
It was reported on TSN that Montreal Canadiens assistant GM Pierre Gauthier was watching the Calgary Flames-Minnesota Wild game Wednesday night. Both TSN analysts Bob MacKenzie and Darren Dreger speculated that Alex Tanguay could be headed to the Habs, while Michael Ryder could be the player going the other way.
Peter Forsberg may return sooner that previously reported. Various sources have confirmed that Foppa will try to skate in a week (as opposed to 2-3 weeks) and try to play for the Swedish National Team in the LG Hockey Games tournament in Stockholm from Feb 7-10. "If he's well enough, we'll of course give him a chance," Sweden coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson told The Associated Press. Source
Rumours continue to swirl the Chicago Blackhawks, as GM Dale Tallon is close to landing the puck-moving, veteran defenseman he's been looking for.
The Columbus Blue Jackets and the New York Rangers continue to scout each other, while the Blue Jackets are now scouting the Pittsburgh Penguins closely. The Jackets are looking at forward Erik Christensen closely, and also defenseman Fedor Tyutin. Source
