NHL and Hockey Rumors for July 14, 2009
The New Jersey Devils have named Jacques Lemaire as their new head coach. Brochu's take: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Lemaire will maintain the Devils' defensive system.
The Chicago Blackhawks have fired GM Dale Tallon. Stan Bowman has been named interim GM. Brochu's take: From Chicago reports, this firing doesn't have to do with the RFA qualifying offeers fiasco, but more with internal organization re-structuring.

NHL and Hockey Rumors for June 18, 2009
The Toronto Maple Leafs can be safely ruled out of the Dany Heatley sweepstakes. In an interview with NHL Live! on the NHL Network, GM Brian Burke expressed his non-interest in the Ottawa Senators player and disdain for the way he has demanded his trade request.
