The Dallas Stars acquired right wing Lauri Tukonen from the Los Angeles Kings today in a trade which sends left wing Richard Clune to L.A. Tukonen was the Kings first round selection (11th overall) in the 2004 NHL entry draft. The Stars allegedly wanted Tukonen in that draft, so this trade brings a player they have scouted and been watching for a few years.
In other movements around the league…
The Minnesota Wild have agreed to a one-year contract with Stephane Veilleux, avoiding salary arbitration. Danish center Frans Nielsen has agreed to a 4-year contract with the New York Islanders worth $2.1 million. Th New Jersey Devils have signed center Fedor Fedorov, younger brother of Sergei Federov. Fedor has spent the last 2 years playing in Europe collecting 12G and 14A in 49 games. The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed Jeff Taffe to a 1-year contract. The Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to a 4-year extension for forward Joffrey Lupul, who had 20G and 26A in 56 games last season. The Detroit Red Wings have re-signed netminder Jimmy Howard and defenseman Jonathan Ericsson to 3-year contracts. Howard and Ericsson will earn $600k and $550k next season respectively.

Le Canadien s’est compliqué la vie dans cette série contre les Bruins de Boston. Le Tricolore s’est heureusement ressaisi à temps, au grand bonheur de ses partisans. Après avoir vu les Bruins combler un déficit de 1-3 dans la série, les joueurs de Guy Carbonneau sont parvenus à stopper l’hémorragie pour l’emporter 5-0, lundi soir au Centre Bell, dans le septième et ultime match de ce quart de finale de l’Association Est. Andrei Kostitsyn, deux fois, Mike Komisarek, Mark Streit et Sergei Kostitsyn ont marqué les buts, Alex Kovalev contribuant deux aides. Carey Price a lui aussi retrouvé son meilleur niveau dans ce match sans lendemain, le septième entre les deux équipes. Le Tricolore affiche un dossier de 5-2 contre ses grands rivaux. Price a enregistré son deuxième jeu blanc de la série. Le Canadien affrontera maintenant les Flyers de Philadelphie ou les Rangers de New York en demi-finale de l’Est.

Posted by admin on 24th, 2008
After the first round i find myself only just above 50% in my predictions. Here’s how I did for round 1:
East:
Montreal Canadiens - correct
Pittsburgh Penguins - correct
Washington Capitals - incorrect (but they were close)
New Jersey Devils - incorrect
West:
Detroit Red Wings - correct - I predicted a sweep, so i was far off.
Calgary Flames - incorrect - it went to 7 though.
Colorado Avalanche - correct
Dallas Stars - correct (i nailed this one)
So, for round 2 we have:
Montreal Canadiens - Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers only just scraped past the Washington Capitals, and pretty much fell apart the minute the Capitals put any offensive pressure on. They wont last long under the Canadiens attack.
Pittsburgh Penguins - New York Rangers
The Penguins dominated their first round opponent, but the Rangers wont be anywhere as easy. I believe this game will come down to M.A. Fleury Vs Henrik Lundqvist, and I simply don’t feel M.A.F. has what it takes to be the victor.
Detroit Red Wings - Colorado Avalanche
Detroit have just come off a long series with the Nashville Predators, and appeared to falter a number of times during that series. The Wings special teams were also a lot worse than they should have been. The Avalanche
