Parit huhut:
-The New York Daily News reports that defenceman Kenny Jonsson, a restricted free agent, will stay in Sweden this year rather than come back to the Islanders.
-Alexandre Daigle can become unrestricted Monday but wants to stay with Minnesota.
-Injury-plagued centre Jason Allison, an unrestricted free agent come Monday, won't be back with the Los Angeles Kings. Expect Edmonton to show some interest in Allison, once an elite NHL centre who was felled by concussion problems.
-The St. Louis Blues won't buy out high-priced stars Keith Tkachuk ($7.6 million) or Doug Weight ($5.7 million), not wanting to spend the money needed to cut them loose.
- The all-star defenceman Scott Niedermayer, one of the true gems on this year's market, is open to re-signing with New Jersey but wants to test the waters.
Näitä siis tuolta änhooällädotkomista.
