Brochu is Hockey will be live blogging during the first few hours of free agency, so keep refreshing for the latest news!
According to TBO.com, Tampa Bay Lightning owner Oren Koules hinted that a "big deal" could be coming soon, possibly Tuesday. Brochu's take: After the Bolts "shockingly aggressive" moves this week, anything is possible. Rumors that defenseman Dan Boyle is on the block have been floating around, could he be gone come July 1st?
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded defenseman Janne Niskala to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a sixth-round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry draft. Brochu's take: Niskala was just acquired from the Nashville Predators a week ago. Perhaps it has something to do with his "contract" with KHL team Atlant Mytischy??
The Philadelphia Flyers also acquired defenceman Tim Ramholt from the Calgary Flames in exchange for left wing Kyle Greentree.
The Flyers also put defenseman Denis Gauthier on waivers for the purposes of a buyout.
The Florida Panthers have re-signed forward Rostislav Olesz to a six-year, $18.75 million contract extension.
The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed forward Paul Gaustad to a four-year, $9.2 million contract.
The San Jose Sharks have re-signed forward Jody Shelley to a two-year contract extension.
Both Atlanta Thrashers defenseman Alexei Zhitnik and Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Duvie Westcott have cleared waivers and have been bought out by their respective teams, making them unrestricted free agents.

Kings fire sale?
The LA Daily Times is reporting that the LA Kings could be conducting a fire sale very soon. GM Dean Lombardi must decide which players are part of his future, and which players could be traded for draft picks and younger players. Defensemen Rob Blake, Brad Stuart and Jaroslav Modry and forwards Ladislav Nagy, Brian Willsie and Scott Thornton are others often mentioned in trade rumors. Michael Cammalleri could be available if the price is right. Source
The Kings have also signed forward Raitis Ivanans to a two-year, $1.2 million contract extension.
New York Rangers GM Glen Sather is actively shopping defenseman Marek Malik, but no teams are willing to meet Sather's demand of a top-four defenseman as the return. Malik has around $950,000 left in salary this season and will be a UFA this summer. Source
The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded forward Jody Shelley to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a sixth round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Source
Rumors are flying that the Ottawa Senators are looking to trade troubled goaltender Ray Emery. Emery was fined by the team on Tuesday for showing up late to practise in New York. He was apparently returning from a trip to Las Vegas during the All-Star break.

Morris to Philly, Shelley to Oilers?
These rumours are courtesy of Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
The Philadelphia Flyers are interested in acquiring defenseman Derek Morris from the Phoenix Coyotes. Morris will be making around $3.9 million for the next two seasons. It's believed the Boston Bruins have also called the 'Yotes about Morris.
The Oilers have an interest in Columbus tough guy Jody Shelley, who has been a healthy scratch of late. The Oilers are looking for toughness in their bottom six forwards.
Columbus GM Scott Howson and defenseman Duvie Westcott will speak to NHL director of hockey operations Colin Campbell on Monday to discuss Wescott's crosscheck to Colorado's Scott Parker on Saturday. A suspension seem unlikely, but the league is trying to crack down on stick infractions.
