New York Rangers defenseman Wade Redden has cleared waivers and has been assigned to the AHL team in Hartford. Brochu's take: Redden's agent has been given permission to find a team in Europe for the maligned defenseman. The Ranger's are still on the hook for his salary.
The Washington Capitals have signed forward Matt Hendricks to a one-year, two-way contract.
Brochu's European rumor roundup:
Chicago Blackhawks goalie Cristobal Huet has cleared waivers and has been assigned to HC Fribourg-Gotteron SA of the Swiss National League A.

NHL and Hockey Rumors for Dec 31, 2008
According to the Team 1200 radio in Ottawa, the Senators are rumored to be making a coaching change as soon as tomorrow. They are also reporting rumours that the Sens have a deal in place with the Colorado Avalanche that would see the Avs sending defenseman John-Michael Liles and forward Marek Svatos to Ottawa. Brochu's take: Speculation is that forward Antoine Vermette could be involved in the package to the Avs. Stay tuned.
The Columbus Dispatch hockey blog "Puck-rakers" is reporting that the Blue Jackets have talked to the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders about trades, but the BJ's have little to offer other than draft picks. Brochu's take: None of these teams are poised to make a playoff run. Perhaps some mutual salary dumping? Source
The Calgary Herald is reporting that three scouts from the Tampa Bay Lightning were at the Calgary Flames - Minnesota Wild game Monday night. The writer adds that the Bolts don't play the Wild again this season and don't play the Flames until March. Source
The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed goaltender Dustin Tokarski to a three-year, entry-level contract.

NHL and hockey rumors for Oct 20, 2008
Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune has confirmed that Minnesota Wild GM Doug Risebrough is definitely shopping forward Marian Gaborik. Russo believes all the rumors surrounding Gaborik being sent to the Montreal Canadiens have merit, and that the Wild are interested in forward Chris Higgins and defensman Ryan McDonagh. Brochu's take: This particular Gaborik rumor has been on the internet for quite some time. Perhaps there's more to this than first realized? Source
The Buffalo News is reporting rumours of "whispers" that the Colorado Avalance are interested in Maxim Afinogenov and they could send forward Marek Svatos to the Sabres. Brochu's take: This could be a good trade, as both seem to need new places to revitalize their careers. Source
The Edmonton Journal is reporting that Habs forward Kyle Chipchura could be on his way out of Montreal in the near future.
The Journal is also reporting that free agent forward Martin Gelinas may be finished with his NHL career, as no teams have called his agent. Playing in Europe remains a last-resort possibility.
Jim Matheson also believes that the New York Rangers might be moving forward Petr Prucha or Dan Fritsche. Brochu's take: I don't think the Rangers will be making moves while their team is doing so well this season. Source
The Rangers also agreed to terms with forward Devin DiDiomete.
