On XM's NHL Live, ex-Tampa Bay Lightning GM Jay Feaster reported a rumour that the Pittsburgh Penguins and Atlanta Thrashers have entered "major" trade discussions. Brochu's take: No names yet, but stay tuned.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed defenseman Alex Grant to an entry-level contract.
According to Al Strachan on The Score, there's talk that Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke may end up with the New York Rangers or Boston Bruins, instead of the Toronto Maple Leafs job. Strachan also speculated that current Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher will stay longer than expected and become the permanent general manager.
Free agent forward Brendan Shanahan has told his agent Rick Curran that he will no longer wait for the New York Rangers to offer a contract, and will put himself on the open market. Brochu's take: There's been some speculation that the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers are interested in the veteran winger. Source
Brochu's European rumor roundup:
According to Swiss sources, free agent forward Martin Gelinas is in contract negotiations with Nationalliga A teams SC Bern and EHC Biel. Gelinas has been hoping to sign with an NHL team. Source
The New Jersey Devils have signed forward Alexander Vasyunov to an entry-level contract. Vasyunov has already played two games with KHL team Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. Brochu's take: Vasyunov has been assigned to Lowell in the AHL. I assume he must have had an out-clause.

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.
