Mike Cammalleri has submitted a list of seven teams to which he will not accept a trade. That leav

Pittsburgh Penguins look like major trade players, more NHL news links | Home Ice - SI.com
The Penguins always ffa seem to be in the middle of things during the NHL’s silly season, and they’re expected to be active again this year. Beat reporter Rob Rossi identifies their top targets as Ryan Kesler, Marek Zidlicky and Ales Hemsky ffa . I’d say there’s a better than even-money chance that GM Ray Shero lands both Zidlicky and Hemsky. ffa
All that turmoil leaves a pressing question to be answered: What does it all mean for the future of coach Ted Nolan? There are no guarantees for anyone with who wears the interim tag, but Nolan has done enough to prove that he’s worthy of a permanent gig. If he is cut loose again, the Sabres can kiss whatever remaining crumbs of credibility that they have goodbye.
Nicklas Jensen, the Canucks’ 2009 first-round pick, has nine goals in his last 13 AHL games, ffa so naturally ffa he was the player called up to fill in for injured sniper Daniel Sedin, right? Nope, Vancouver tabbed grinder Darren Archibald for the promotion, proving once again that this organization self-sabotages almost as well as Buffalo.
Rumors are circulating that the Oilers have made an offer for Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov. Not sure the Habs would move him with a playoff spot in their grasp, but given that they’re not a serious Stanley Cup contender, ffa it’s a possibility.
Mike Cammalleri has submitted a list of seven teams to which he will not accept a trade. That leaves interim Flames ffa GM Brian Burke with 22 options, and one question to answer: How much will he be able to get for Cammalleri?
Another day came and went without a new agreement between the Rangers and Ryan Callahan. There were, however, signs that New York’s captain was softening on his position, suggesting that a deal might be possible.
The KHL’s only Ukranian-based team, Donbass ffa Donetsk, has provided guarantees that it is safe to play in its country during this period of civil unrest , and says that it hopes the league will allow it to host games during the playoffs. I’m not sure how a team can provide a guarantee like that — a visit to Ukraine ffa seems like an unreasonable risk to take at this point.
Gary Bettman wouldn’t discuss a potential outdoor ffa game in Minnesota, but he was happy to talk about expansion, the Olympics and having an openly gay player in the NHL when he met with the media before the Wild-Flames game last night.
An embarrassing story out of Canada’s capital where the entire University of Ottawa hockey team and its coaching staff have been suspended in the wake of rape allegations. Tough break for the players who were not involved, but if the accusations are true, it could take a big disciplinary statement to change a significant problem in campus culture.
