Player Updates:

  • Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin expected to start season with Chicago
    Goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin is expected to start the regular season with the Chicago Blackhawks.  The 35-year-old Khabibulin had seemed destined to be sent to the minors, traded or opt to play in his native Russia by the time the Blackhawks open their regular season Friday night in New York against the Rangers. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Patric Hornqvist: Likely to Skate On Nashville’s Top Line

He appeared in four preseason games with the Ducks, registering one assist before being claimed by Chicago on Friday. (Yahoo! Sports)

  • Blackhawks release C Adams
    The Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday released center Kevyn Adams, one of five moves made by the team to reduce the roster to the league-mandated maximum of 23 players heading into the start of the regular season. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sharks place D McLaren on waivers
    In a move necessitated by salary cap restrictions, the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday placed veteran defenseman Kyle McLaren on waivers, possibly ending his 4 1/2-year tenure with the club.  Waiving McLaren enabled the Sharks to save $2.5 million and get them under the salary cap limit of $56.7 million. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Maple Leafs sign D Schenn
    The Toronto Maple Leafs signed defenseman Luke Schenn to a three-year contract on Tuesday.  Financial terms were not disclosed. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Kings re-sign C O”Sullivan
    Patrick O’Sullivan’s holdout is over.  A restricted free agent, O’Sullivan on Tuesday signed a new three-year contract with the Los Angeles Kings.  Financial terms were not disclosed, but - citing undisclosed sources - TSN of Canada is reporting the 23-year-old center will receive an average of $2.925 million per season. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Flames’ Warrener, Eriksson placed on waivers
    The Calgary Flames placed veteran defensemen Rhett Warrener, Anders Eriksson and forward Jamie Lundmark on waivers Tuesday to get below the salary cap.  The three are headed to the Flames’ AHL affiliate in the Quad Cities unless claimed off waivers by another club or traded.  Warrener and Eriksson have one-way contracts and reassigning the three players puts Calgary’s payroll $2 million below the $56.7-million cap. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Boston Bruins keep promising rookie forward Blake Wheeler, cut five
    The Boston Bruins cut five players from their roster Tuesday and kept promising rookie forward Blake Wheeler, a first-round draft choice in 2004.  The Bruins released forward Peter Schaefer and planned to waive him and assign him to Providence of the AHL.  They also placed forwards Nate Thompson and Jeremy Reich on waivers for the purpose of assigning them to Providence, and assigned defenceman Matt Hunwick to Providence and forward Carl Soderberg to Malmo in Sweden. (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Bruins waive LW Schaefer, C Reich
    Boston Bruins fans may have seen the last of Peter Schaefer and Jeremy Reich.  Schaefer and Reich, along with center Nate Thompson, were placed on waivers by the Bruins on Tuesday as the team hopes to assign the trio to Providence of the American Hockey League.  Acquired from Ottawa in July 2007, Schaefer appeared in 63 games for Boston last season, recording nine goals and 17 assists. The 31-year-old left wing added a tally and four points in seven playoff contests. (Yahoo! Sports)

Trades & Rumours:

From nhl-trade-rumors.com (click to view the full report):

  • The Red Wings will be without wing Marian Hossa Sunday in the team’s final exhibition game against Buffalo. Hossa developed a sore groin whilst playing Saturday in Toronto and sat out the 3rd period. He mentioned he does not consider the injury serious.

  • Ranger GM Glen Sather is a seller in a market that appears to feature very few buyers willing to pay 100 cents on the dollar. Sather has postponed a decision on roster cuts only as he has postponed a decision on Brendan Shanahan, who continued to skate at the club’s practice rink throughout the Rangers’ successful European tour.
  • The Lightning spent the past few days thinking about trade options. Scouts were dispatched to hockey rinks across North America throughout the preseason in search of improvements.
  • Not long after an NHL owner predicted Sunday that European expansion is “happening”, league commissioner Gary Bettman spoke in non-committal terms on the subject. “It is not on the drawing board”, Bettman mentioned before attending the final of 4 regular season games played in Europe over the weekend.
  • If starting lineups were devised simply on merit, James Neal could be on the ice Friday at American Airlines Center when the Dallas Stars open the season against Columbus. The salary cap era, however, creates myriad reasons for keeping a player or sending him to the minors, so the fate of the rookie winger remained uncertain on Monday.
