The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed restricted free agent forward Bobby Ryan to a 5-year, $25.5 million contract extension. Brochu's take: Good deal for both sides. Ryan has 40 goal potential, and now the Ducks have the core signed for at least the next 3 years.
The Phoenix Coyotes have signed forward Eric Belanger to a one-year, $750,000 contract. Brochu's take: An absolute bargain. There were rumors that had signed with the Capitals, but that was unfounded.
The Boston Bruins have invited forward Brian McGrattan to training camp.
There's a rumor that the Anaheim Ducks have signed defenseman Paul Mara to a one-year deal.
Brochu's European rumor roundup:
Free agent defenseman Tom Preissing has left the NHL and signed with Karpat in the Finnish league. Source

NHL and Hockey Rumors for July 4, 2009
Happy July 4th to my American readers! I'm going to wrap up some of the trades that have gone down, I haven't had time to include them here.
The Colorado Avalanche have traded forward Ryan Smyth to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenseman Kyle Quincey, Tom Preissing and a 5th round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Brochu's take: With Gomez, Kubina and now Smyth, this is the official "Summer of the Salary Dump". Smyth will be a good veteran addition to the young Kings lineup, but earns $6 million per for 3 more years. Quincey is a good young blueliner, but the rest is filler.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded defenseman Pavel Kubina and the rights to forward Tim Stapleton to the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for defenseman Garnet Exelby and forward Colin Stuart. Brochu's take: Another salary dump, but Burke didn't even get draft picks back.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have re-signed forward Rick Nash to a 8-year, $62.4 million contract extension. Brochu's take: At a yearly salary cap hit of $7.8 million, Nash is slightly overpaid, but he is the Jackets one franchise star. It will also solidify Columbus as a solid hockey city.

Jokinen for Marleau, Carle?
The latest NHL rumors from everyone's favourite rumormonger, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:

The Phoenix Coyotes are worried about Radim Vrbata's salary demands and he could be dealt. The Coyotes are also shopping defenseman Brendan Bell.
The New York Islanders are shopping Mike Comrie and Miroslav Satan. Satan is currently out with a knee injury.
Nick Schultz's impending UFA status may him available at the trade deadline. Minnesota Wild GM Doug Risebrough could have had Schultz signed in the summer for $2.5 million but didn't. Schultz was awarded $1.8 million in arbitration. Now a lot of teams are calling.
Apparently LA Kings GM Dean Lombardi has told other GMs that any King over the age of 25 is available. This list includes Rob Blake, Ladislav Nagy, Derek Armstrong, Scott Thornton, Brad Stuart, Tom Preissing and Jaroslav Modry.

Big rumour update
There are lots of trade rumors going around today, most of them from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
The Nashville Predators could look to move centre Jason Arnott.
The LA Kings are shopping defenseman Tom Preissing. The Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes are interested. Garrioch also adds that Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli is looking for another blueliner to help out Zdeno Chara. The New York Rangers are also shopping Paul Mara, and Garrioch believes that he would be a good fit in Boston because he is an ex-Bruin.
If the Edmonton Oilers don't re-sign defenseman Joni Pitkanen, there is "strong belief" that he could be moved by the trade deadline.
The Philadelphia Flyers are not happy with Steve Downie and could use him as tradebait.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are interested in goaltender Ray Emery. Emery rumours continue to fly around the league.
The Ottawa Senators are still looking to move defenseman Joe Corvo.
Extension/Contract news, also from Garrioch:
Garrioch claims that sources tell him that Washington Capitals GM George McPhee "insulted" Alexander Ovechkin by offering a five-year, $37.5 million deal. Ovechkin rejected the offer and is believed to be seeking a $9-10 million a year contract.
Citing NHL agents, Garrioch claims Dion Phaneuf has turned down a 5 year, $30 million contract extension from the Calgary Flames. Phaneuf will become a RFA this summer.
