The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired head coach Guy Boucher. Brochu's take: The rumor was the veterans on the Bolts were starting to tune him out. Lindy Ruff is the rumored favourite to take the position.
The Anaheim Ducks have signed forward Radek Dvorak to a one-year, $675,000 contract. Dvorak must clear waivers because he has been playing in Europe this season.
The Lightning have re-signed forward Nate Thompson to a four-year, $6.4 million contract extension.
The Montreal Canadiens have claimed forward Jeff Halpern off waivers from the New York Rangers.
The Rangers have placed defenseman Stu Bickel on waivers.
The Colorado Avalanche have signed four players to three-year, entry-level contracts. Forwards Garrett Meurs and Andrew Agozzino, and defensemen Markus Lauridsen and Gabriel Beaupre.
The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Travis Ewanyk to a three-year, entry-level contract.

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.

Weekend rumor roundup Oct 11-12, 2008
The Los Angeles Kings have re-signed forward Anze Kopitar to a seven-year, $47.6 million contract extension set to start in 2009-2010. Brochu's take: A good deal for LA, but what has happened to the second contract? It seems that young impact players move from their entry-level contracts straight into lucrative contracts that, in the past, would be reserved for their third contract.
The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed defenseman Alex Edler to a four-year, $13 million contract extension. Brochu's take: Another good signing, on par with similiar players that have signed recently.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed forward Joey Haddad to a three-year contract.
The Detroit Red Wings have placed defenseman Kyle Quincey on waivers.
The following rumors are from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, so take it with a grain(bag) of salt.
The Canucks are looking to move defenseman Kevin Bieksa. Brochu's take: The 'Nucks just traded a d-man, so I don't think they're looking to trade him at this moment.
The Carolina Hurricanes may be interested in Boston Bruins forward Peter Schaefer, whose $2.1 million contract is currently off the salary cap. The Canes are looking to dangle defensemen Frantisek Kaberle and Joe Corvo.
The Florida Panthers are looking to move forward Radek Dvorak.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are interested in signing free agent defenseman Marek Malik.
The Edmonton Oilers may be "willing to deal" defenseman Ladislav Smid. Brochu's take: The least that Garrioch could do was at least spell "Smead" right.

Lecavalier demands trade?
During the intermission program "The Hotstove" (not "Satellite Hotstove" anymore, as some rumormongers put it) on the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast on CBC, Al Strachan quotes sources that Tampa Bay Lightning forward Vincent Lecavalier has done all he can with the team and wants to be traded to a bigger market in the summer. Strachan speculates that Montreal, Los Angeles and New York could be possible destinations.
Pierre LeBrun refutes the Lecavalier rumor, but believes GM Jay Feaster will shop Brad Richards this summer to free up some cap space to get a top goaltender.
Rob Blake is rumoured to be headed to the San Jose Sharks or Anaheim Ducks.
Scott Morrison believes Peter Forsberg will make his decision to return to the NHL in the next few days, and the Philadelphia Flyers remain the frontrunners.
During the After Hours program, Vancouver Canucks GM Dave Nonis confirmed that he has made an offer to Forsberg and is waiting for an answer. Nonis maintains that the Canucks are in the Foppa sweepstakes.
Also, Nonis stated bluntly that he will not trade young players Alexander Edler and Ryan Kesler for players at the deadline. Nonis revealed that he turned down a trade last year involving a UFA rental player that would have cost Edler.
The latest from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
Toronto Maple Leafs interim GM Cliff Fletcher has been working the phones and he may ask defenseman Tomas Kaberle to waive his no trade clause. It's believed the San Jose Sharks and New York Rangers are making a push for the Czech blue-liner.
Sources are saying that the Florida Panthers are shopping forwards Jozef Stumpel and Radek Dvorak.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have shown an interest in Leafs defenseman Hal Gill.
More from Bruce Garrioch later, including the latest on Hossa, Havlat, Cammalleri, Blake and Boyle.

Hossa sweepstakes
The Marian Hossa sweepstakes is about to begin. Atlanta Thrashers GM and coach Don Waddell will attempt to sign Hossa to a contract extension this week, or he will begin to shop the forward. It's believed Hossa has already turned down a 5 year, $35 million contract. The Ottawa Sun is reporting that the Anaheim Ducks, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks could be interested. Source
The Denver Post is reporting that the Colorado Avalanche should look at acquiring Hossa, while the Toronto Star is saying the Boston Bruins may have interest.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun is reporting that Florida Panthers GM Jacques Martin is trying to move defenseman Branislav Mezei and forward Radek Dvorak. Garrioch also claims that league executives insist centre Olli Jokinen will be moved. Source
The Teemu Selanne rumours have finally come true, as the Anaheim Ducks have signed Selanne to a one year, $1.5 million contract. Selanne will receive around $600,000 for the remainder of the season, but performance bonuses could see him earn closer to $2 million. Bob McKenzie of TSN is speculating that the Ducks may have more moves in the future. Source
The Chicago Blackhawks have placed forward David Koci on waivers. The Carolina Hurricanes may make a claim. Also, GM Dale Tallon remains searching for upgrades to his team, and may be making a deal in the near future.
