NHL and Hockey Rumors for Nov 21, 2008
There's a rumor floating around tonight that the Chicago Blackhawks have traded defensemen Brent Sopel and Dustin Byfuglien to the Washington Capitals for forward Michael Nylander. Byfuglien was a late scratch from tonight's Chicago Blackhawks-Dallas Stars game. Brochu's take: Bob McKenzie of TSN reported that this deal was very close to happening, and it might have happened tonight. Stay tuned.
The Edmonton Oilers have placed forward Jesse Boulerice on waivers.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have claimed forward David Koci off waivers from the St. Louis Blues.
Brochu's European rumor roundup:
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Daniel Tjarnqvist is rumoured to be signing with Swedish club Rogle. Tjarnavist has been a healthy scratch for the Avs inevery single game this season. Source

NHL and Hockey Rumors for Nov 19, 2008
Sorry about the late update today, I will make another one tonight.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun is reporting that GM Bryan Murray could be stepping up his pursuit of Vancouver Canucks defenseman Mattias Ohlund, noting "Canucks GM Mike Gillis and assistant Lawrence Gilman were on the list of scouts for last night's Ottawa Senators-New York Rangers game". Brochu's take: Gillis did admit to looking at both the Sens and Rangers closely, noting their "makeup". Source
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that Minnesota Wild GM Doug Risebrough was scheduled to attend the recent Ottawa Senators-New York Rangers game but could not make it. "Ottawa and the Rangers are two teams that could make sense for a potential Marian Gaborik trade. Bryan Murray, Ottawa’s GM, loves making blockbusters, and Rangers GM Glen Sather is buddy buddy with Risebrough," writer Michael Russo wrote. Brochu's take: Nothing will be done until Gaborik comes back from injury, but this is something definitely to chew on. Source
Bob McKenzie of TSN reported on his blog that there are rumors that the Minnesota Wild are very close to trading forward Marian Gaborik.
McKenzie is also reporting that "the Chicago Blackhawks, according to multiple NHL sources, have a standing deal ready to go at a moment's notice to acquire veteran center Michael Nylander from the Washington Capitals." The rumble is that the Hawks will ship out goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, but there appears to be a shortage of suitors. Source
The St. Louis Blues have claimed forward BJ Crombeen off waivers from the Dallas Stars.
The Minnesota Wild have placed defenseman Tomas Mojzis on waivers. He has cleared.
The Detroit Red Wings have placed forward Darren McCarty on waivers. He has cleared.
The Blues have also placed forward David Koci on waivers.

NHL and hockey rumors for Oct 22, 2008
TSN is reporting that the Minnesota Wild have already offered forward Marian Gaborik to another team, but the unspecified NHL executive was not interested. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that the Montreal Canadiens and Los Angeles Kings are the frontrunners to land the Slovakian star. Brochu's take: It took the mainstream media quite some time to "officially" report this rumor. I see a Marian Hossa situation, where teams will outbid each other until someone comes up with a ridiculous offer like the Penguins did. (Incidentally, it's another high-scoring Slovakian forward that's on the market this year.) Keep checking Brochu is Hockey for the latest on Gaborik. Source
The Tampa Bay Lightning have claimed forward Matt Pettinger off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks.
The St. Louis Blues have claimed forward David Koci off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The 'Bolts have also put forward Jason Ward on waivers.
The Anaheim Ducks have put defenseman Ken Klee on waivers.
The New York Rangers have placed forward Patrick Rissmiller on waivers.
Brochu's European rumor roundup:
Minnesota Wild forward Petr Kalus has left the organization and will play in Europe. He still has two years left on his contract, and it's still possible, though unlikely, he may come back to North America. Rumor is that he will play with HC Vitkovice. Source
The Washington Capitals have re-assigned goaltender Michal Neuvirth to HC Ocelari Trinec of the Czech Extraliga. Source

Campbell, Redden, Streit, Rozsival signed
The Chicago Blackhawks have signed defenceman Brian Campbell to an 8-year, $56.8 million contract. Brochu's take: The fact that Brian Campbell will make more money than Scott Niedermayer or Chris Pronger makes me sick in the stomach.
The New York Rangers have signed defenceman Wade Redden to a six-year, $39 million contract. Brochu's take: No wonder he went to the open market. Redden did not play well enough last season to garner this type of salary. But this is the "silly" season for a reason.
The Rangers also re-signed defenseman Michal Rozsival to a four-year, $20 million contract.
The Rangers also re-signed goalie Steve Valiquette. Terms were not disclosed.
The Rangers also signed forward Patrick Rissmiller to an undisclosed deal.
The New York Islanders have signed defenceman Mark Streit to a five-year, $20.5 million contract.
The Tampa Bay Lighting have signed goaltender Olaf Kolzig to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
The Lightning have also signed forward David Koci to a one-year, two-way deal worth $525,000 in the NHL, $100,000 in the minors.
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Nate Raduns to a one-year contract and forward Glen Metropolit to a two-year deal.
The Flyers also signed defenceman Ossi Vaananen to a one-year, $1 million contract.
The Buffalo Sabres have signed goaltender Patrick Lalime to a two-year, $2 million contract.
The Ottawa Senators have signed goaltender Alex Auld to a two-year, $2 million contract.

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.

Blackhawks showcasing Richmond?
The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled defenseman Danny Richmond from the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL on Sunday. Earlier this week, GM Dale Tallon admitted that Richmond was a possible candidate to be traded. The trade freeze ended Friday and Tallon also said he would begin to talk to teams about possible moves. "Seems we get one back and we lose two," Tallon said of injuries. "It looked like we were going to be really healthy there for a while. When that happens we'll be a much better team." Perhaps Richmond is being showcased? Source
The Denver Post is reporting that LA Kings defenseman Rob Blake would waive his no trade clause if he was asked. "(The Kings) would have to come to me first, but, yeah, it's a possibility," Blake said, after Saturday's 3-1 Kings victory over the Avs. Source
Carolina Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford is looking for a puck-moving defenseman and an enforcer. It's believed he's made calls for Chicago Blackhawks tough guy David Koci. Could he be interested in Rob Blake? Source
Forward Darren McCarty will try to make a comeback to the NHL after signing with the Flint Generals of the IHL. The 35-year-old plans to practice with the International Hockey League team on Monday but must be cleared by the NHL before playing, the Generals announced Saturday. Hat-tip to the people over at HockeyFights.com and Kuklas Korner, who had this earlier than the major media outlets.
Brochu's European round-up:
Goaltender Fred Brathwaite has signed with Avangard Omsk of the Russian Super League. Brathwaite had left the Atlanta Thrashers affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, in December.
Forward Nathan Perrott has left the Toronto Marlies (Maple Leafs AHL affiliate) and signed with Vityaz Podolsk Chekhov of the Russian Super League. Source
