Judge Redfield T. Baum ordered the NHL and Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes to take their dispute over who controls the team to mediation. The judge has set a date of June 22 to settle the matter. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that if Jerry Reinsdorf's offer to buy the team is accepted, Wayne Gretzky would be forced to step down as head coach. It's believed Gretzky's salary, which is five times the salary of other NHL coaches, is a factor in Reinsdorf's conditional offer. Brochu's take: So much for the reports of Gretzky supporting Reinsdorf's offer, which has not come from the Great One himself. Reinsdorf's offer has not been officially confirmed either. It's possible that he could pull his offer anytime, even after the court's decision. Source
The Edmonton Oilers have signed defenseman Johan Motin to a three-year, entry-level contract. Motin was the Oilers' fourth round pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Brochu's European rumor roundup:
According to reports in Kazakhstan, the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers have made offers to goalie Marc Lamothe and forward Jozef Stumpel of KHL team Barys Astana. Source

NHL and hockey rumors for June 28, 2008
The New York Post is reporting that Jaromir Jagr has received a three-year, $35 million contract offer to play with Avangard Omsk of the Russian Super League (KHL) next season. Brochu's take: Jagr claims that he wants to play in the NHL, but he won't be earning anywhere near that playing in North America. If he doesn't find a team, he's gone. Source

Bouwmeester wants out?
According to New York source Newsday, a source close to defenseman Jay Bouwmeester has said that he wants out of Florida. Brochu's take: Expect the bidding to be high for him. Source
The Panthers have also put forward Jozef Stumpel on waivers.
The Vancouver Canucks have claimed Toronto Maple Leafs forward Kyle Wellwood off waivers.
The Ottawa Senators have traded tough guy Brian McGrattan to the the Phoenix Coyotes for a 5th round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry draft.
Sources are saying that the Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed Vincent Lecavalier to a 9 year, $77 million contract extension. As per CBA rules, the deal cannot be finalized until July 1.
The Anaheim Ducks official website is saying that it's very likely that defenseman Scott Niedermayer will return for the 2008-2009 season. Niedermayer has only one year left on his contract. Brochu's take: This could potentially cause cap problems for the Ducks this summer. Look for one of their defenseman to be shopped. Source
The San Jose Sharks have re-signed forwards Joe Pavelski and Jeremy Roenick and backup goaltender Brian Boucher on Wednesday.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have bought out the final year of Marc Denis' contract, making him an unrestricted free agent. Denis cleared waivers Wednesday. Source

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.
