I apologize for the lack of updates lately, there just haven't been much to report! But I expect things to pick up in the next few weeks, especially with contract extensions and college free agent signings.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Alex Berry to a two-year, entry level contract. Berry was selected by the Leafs in the fifth round, 153rd overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. The 23 year old will join the AHL Marlies for the rest of the 2008-2009 season, after spending four seasons with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Source
The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Olivier Fortier to a three-year, entry-level contract. Fortier was selected in the third round by the Canadiens, 65th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. The 19 year old has spend the past four seasons in the QMJHL with Drummondville and Rimouski. Source
The New York Rangers have signed free agent forward Paul Crowder. Crowder has played for the last four years for the University of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves. Source
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed goalie Mike Murphy to a three-year, entry-level contract. Murphy was selected in the sixth round by the 'Canes in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and has spent the past four seasons with the OHL Belleville Bulls. Source
The New York Islanders have signed forward Tim Jackman to a one-year contract extension.

Marleau to Columbus?
According to the San Jose Sharks blog "Working the Corners", the San Jose Sharks and Columbus Blue Jackets are close to a deal. The Sharks would send Patrick Marleau and another unspecified player to the Blue Jackets for Nikolai Zherdev and 6th overall pick in the NHL entry draft. Brochu's take: This is a pretty big rumor. If GM Doug Wilson really wants to shake up his team, then this is it. Zherdev has played better under Hitchcock, but the Sharks don't even have a coach yet. Source
TSN is reporting that Ron Wilson has been offered a job to coach the Toronto Maple Leafs and is flying into Toronto to negotiate a deal. Earlier in the day, interim Cliff Fletcher let the media know that he had found his man and had gave him an offer. Brochu's take: This has again fueled rumors that Brian Burke will become the new GM of the Leafs, considering Burke and Wilson's close relationship. Source
The Palm Beach Post is reporting that the Florida Panthers have received permission from the Toronto Maple Leafs to speak with ex-coach Paul Maurice. Source
TSN's Darren Dreger reported that analyst Mike Milbury has been interviewed for the San Jose Sharks head coaching position.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed defenseman Alexandre Picard to a multi-year, one way deal. The Lightning have also defenseman Kevin Quick to a two-year, two-way contract.
The New York Islanders have signed forward Tim Jackman to a one-year contract extension through 2008-2009.

Spezza, Jokinen, Marleau on the move?
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, three elite centres could be on the trading block this summer:
Ottawa Senators forward Jason Spezza, whose $8 million a year contract extension kicks in this summer.
Florida Panthers forward Olli Jokinen, with the Calgary Flames, Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks interested.
San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau, whose no trade clause becomes effective July 1. Garrioch speculates that the Boston Bruins may give up Glen Murray as part of a package deal. Brochu's take: Spezza's not going anywhere, but Jokinen may have used up his nine lives in Florida. GM Jacques Martin will do everything in his power to trade him. As for Marleau, no one wants Murray and his $4 million contract, so Garrioch can keep on speculating.
Phoenix Coyotes forward Blake Wheeler turned down Phoenix's entry-level deal and will now become an unrestricted free agent. The deal was the maximum offered under the old CBA. Wheeler is free to sign with any team, however he still has to comply with entry-level rules. There are rumors that his home state team, the Minnesota Wild, are interested.
The New York Islanders will not be re-signing impending UFAs Wade Dubielewicz, Miroslav Satan, Josef Vasicek and Ruslan Fedotenko. The three forwards were not offered any contracts while Dubielewicz rejected a "significant offer". The Islanders are also close to re-signing Tim Jackman to a two-way contract. Source
The Buffalo Sabres have signed forward Tim Kennedy to a two-year, ~$1.7 million contract. They have also signed Swedish goaltender Jhonas Enroth to three-year, entry-level contract. Brochu's take: The Sabres actually got some of their players under contract! Source
