Trades & Rumours:
- Wild don’t expect to sign Gaborik by season start
The Minnesota Wild and winger Marian Gaborik will be headed for a season uncertain. Wild general manager Doug Risebrough told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Friday that he does not expect to sign Gaborik to a contract extension by the start of the season. (TSN)
From Spectorshockey.net:
- The Nikolai Khabibulin situation is “nearing a conclusion”, as Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon has told the goalie not to attend team practices until the next course of action is determined to prevent him from getting hurt. When asked when any kind of deal — whether it’s to trade Khabibulin or let him go to Russia — would get done, Tallon said, “The sooner the better”, writes Kuc.
- Contract talks between the Wild and the agent for Marian Gaborik appear to have stalled, as GM Doug Risebrough said no headway has been made, adding that Gaborik won’t be signed prior to the start of the season. Risebrough declined to comment if he’s had talks with other teams and has yet to determine if he’ll shop Gaborik. While it’s unknown what the Wild are offering Gaborik Russo suggests that if the forward is rejecting offers around $8.5 million per season it could spur Risebrough into shopping Gaborik rather than risk losing him to free agency for nothing next summer. If it comes to that Russo suggests Risebrough might deal Gaborik to an Eastern Conference team, possibly to Montreal, Toronto or the NY Rangers as the Wild GM is friends with the general managers of those teams.
- NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly and the Anaheim Ducks denied a recent report the league is monitoring potential trade activity between the Ducks and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The report was based on speculation Ducks GM Brian Burke might sign with the Leafs next summer as their new general manager.
- Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli continues to huddle with his staff in hopes of finding salary cap space to retain youngsters like Blake Wheeler, Nate Thompson and Matt Hunwick.
- Schaefer could be a trade candidate given his poor play last season and $2.1 million cap hit. Barth also suggests rumors of the Bruins dealing Marc Savard are “unlikely” given his no-trade clause and his status as one of the league’s best set-up men.
- Little progress made in contract talks between the Kings and forward Patrick O’Sullivan but the two sides are reportedly meeting more frequently.

League Updates:
- IIHF says Predators’ Radulov wrong to sign with Russian club
Russian forward Alexander Radulov was wrong to sign with a club in his home country while under contract with the Nashville Predators, hockey’s world governing body ruled Wednesday. But the International Ice Hockey Federation said it had no legal basis to suspend him because there is no agreement in place to regulate international transfers. The ruling indicated Radulov had a binding agreement to serve the one year remaining on his Predators’ contract. (sports.yahoo.com)
- Moose Jaw Warriors’ Joel Broda is named CHL player of the week
Moose Jaw Warriors forward Joel Broda was named the CHL player of the week on Wednesday. Broda had five goals and six points in three games, all Warriors wins. He also had a plus-4 rating for the week. The 18-year-old from Prince Albert, Sask., was a fifth-round selection of the Washington Capitals this year. (sports.yahoo.com)

Trades & Rumours:
From Spectorshockey.net:
- Sources claim the Bruins have been active in the trade market for some time, “with some talk of a possible blockbuster deal involving top scorer Marc Savard – although the center has a no-trade contract and would have to agree to any swap.”
- Insiders claim the Chicago Blackhawks are now targetting Michael Nylander of the Washington Capitals, with sources claiming they’ve made two offers to the Capitals for him. There was also talk of the Vancouver Canucks having interest in Blackhawks winger Martin Havlat but the ‘Hawks don’t appear willing to move him and the Canucks want to see Havlat play a sustained period without injury.
- The Rangers have to make a decision on where winger Petr Prucha fits into their current roster or if he even fits in at all, noting that there isn’t much market value for Prucha at this time.
- Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke isn’t done making roster moves to free up more cap space despite clearing $1.25 million yesterday by dealing Sean O’Donnell to the LA Kings.
- The Blue Jackets have placed forward Mike York on waivers with the intent of demoting him to their minor league affiliate in Syracuse.
- Tough guy forward David Koci is likely to survive the club’s roster cuts especially with Nick Tarnasky’s recent trade to Nashville. Cristodero also reports Michel Ouellet cleared waivers but wasn’t immediately assigned to the minors, suggesting a possible trade might be afoot.
