Across the NHL there are 15 players going to arbitration this off-season.
Washington Capitals: Brooks Laich & Shaone Morrisonn Minnesota Wild: Pierre-Marc Bouchard & Stephane Veilleux Boston Bruins: Dennis Wideman Carolina Hurricanes: Chad LaRose Colorado Avalanche: Marek Svatos Florida Panthers: Jay Bowmeester New York Islanders: Sean Bergenheim New York Rangers: Dan Fritsche Ottawa Senators: Antoine Vermette St Louis Blues: Jay McClement San Jose Sharks: Marcel Goc Detroit Red Wings: Valtteri Filppula Nashville Predators: Ville Koistinen
Arbitration hearings will take place between July 20 and August 4.
It’s that time of year people, and the rumour mills are running wild. On the eve of the NHL Entry Draft, rumours about trades and free agency are starting to heat up. Here is a brief rundown of a few of the latest.
The Sedin Twins. Although Canucks GM denies it, the rumours are rampant.
Markus Naslund will apparently become a free agent, and will not be re-signed.
Toronto acquired Jamal Mayers from the Blues for a 3rd round pick.
Bryan McCabe is rumoured to be on the block in Toronto. Cliff Fletcher, GM of the Leafs denies all.
Tampa Bay are rumoured to be trying to tie up top line centre, Vinnie Lecavalier to a multi-year deal.
The San Jose Sharks are rumoured to be contemplating shopping the rights to Brian Campbell before the draft.
The LA Kings are rumoured to have put Mike Cammalleri on the block.
The Ottawa Senators are rumoured to be wanting to trade Ray Emery, however there is also talk of a buy-out if a trade can not be found.
Wade Redden will most probably be leaving Ottawa if rumours prove to be true. Senators GM Brian Murray has confirmed he is open to the idea.
Pavel Kubina’s NTC is no longer an issue, so he may change teams before the season starts.
And what of the 2 most popular trade rumours?
Patrick Marleau has been talk of the town for a few years now, so trade rumours about the Sharks shipping him are not unheard of. At over $6 million a year, and declining offensive numbers it may be harder than it appears.
Florida captain Olli Jokinen apparently wants out of Florida, and is rumoured to have made it clear to Panthers management he wants a trade. Olli would be a positive addition to most NHL teams… but which one?

Montreal Canadiens Post-Game Vlog Vol. 10 (Game #53)-short s
I was tired from a day of Super Bowl partying, so I didn’t feel like a comprehensive game vlog. Next one out will be for real, though. I was just too out of it to record anything but this. So if you stumble upon this and are confused, don’t mind it. It’s just an official entry but nothing more. It’s a vlog but not a real good one on purpose. Catch my vlog after Tuesday’s big time matchup vs. the Sens.
