Hockey and NHL rumors for July 26, 2009
The Boston Bruins have traded defenseman Aaron Ward to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Patrick Eaves and a fourth-round selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

The Canes have re-signed forward Tuomo Ruutu to a 3-year, $11.4 million contract.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have also re-signed goalie Justin Pogge to a 1-year, $605,000 contract. Brochu's take: There's also rumors that GM Brian Burke is trying to trade him, but his value is quite low at the moment.
The St. Louis Blues have re-signed defensemen Steve Wagner and Roman Polak.
The New York Islanders have signed forward Nate Thompson to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Lukas Kaspar to a one-year deal.

NHL and hockey rumors for June 25, 2008
The Colorado Avalanche have traded defenseman Johnny Boychuk to the Boston Bruins for forward Matt Hendricks. Source
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired defenseman Janne Niskala from the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Triston Grant and their seventh round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Brochu's take: Niskala had been rumored to be headed to Russia, but he could have a chance to crack Philly's lineup next season.
The Carolina Hurricanes have re-signed forward Tuomo Ruutu to a one-year, $2.25 million contract extension. Brochu's take: This should quash those Ruutu rumors...at least until mid season, when you can expect them to pick up.
The Boston Bruins have re-signed defenseman Mark Stuart to a multi-year contract extension.
The Colorado Avalanche have re-signed forward Scott Parker to a one-year, contract extension.
Darcy Tucker has been bought out by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tucker has 3 years remaining on his contract and Toronto will have to pay for two-thirds, or 6 million dollars paid over a six year term. Tucker has a no-movement clause and thus did not have to clear waivers. Brochu's take: Tucker may not be the player he once was, but still is a gritty forward with veteran leadership. He will be picked up very soon.
The Leafs have also put forward Kyle Wellwood and goalie Andrew Raycroft on waivers.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have put goalie Marc Denis on waivers for the purposes of a buyout. If he clears waivers, he will be immediately bought out. The Lightning also introduced Barry Melrose as their new head coach Tuesday.
