Notes Of The Day June 22nd 2012

Just some notes for the day:

  • Tim Thomas has waived his NMC. It was set to expire on July 1st. Teams just on the cap floor may be interested in his services. However, it will not affect his decision on returning.
  • Keith Yandle is in play, and teams such as the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues are involved, and players like Brandon Dubinsky are being named in return.
  • According to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: As for Nash trade? Howson said no offers are close. "They have a ways to go yet."
  • Renaud Lavoie of RDS is reporting that the Philadelphia Flyers are trying to move up in the draft. The Anaheim Ducks' 6th overall pick is being named.
  • According to @NHLWiki the Ottawa Senators are now the front runners for Columbus Blue Jackets' Rick Nash with the offering being Ben Bishop, Mika Zibanejad, and Nick Foligno. 
  • The 2013 Draft will take place in New Jersey and Philadelphia in 2014.
  • According to Team 1200 in Ottawa, the last issue before the Rich Nash deal is done, is budget.
  • Swiss star Damien Brunner has signed a one year deal with the Detroit Red Wings.

Oilers taking Murray?

There are talks everywhere saying that instead of taking consensus #1 prospect Nail Yakupov they may pick Ryan Murray instead. This is because the Oilers have a lot of blue chip forwards such as Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle, and Hall, but do not have any defence prospects. Drafting Murray would give them an NHL defenceman that is young, good, and a good core for the future.

Bobrovsky Traded to Columbus for 3 Draft Picks

Sergei Bobrovsky has been traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for 3 draft picks including a 2nd round draft pick (45th overall) and the 117th overall (originally belonging to Phoenix.) This should solve the franchise goalie problem Columbus was having. CBJ played five goalies last year including Curtis McEllhinney, Steve Mason, Curtis Sanford and Allen York.

Bobrovsky Traded.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired G Sergei Bobrovsky from the Columbus Blue Jackets for draft picks. More to come.

Keith Yandle Available?

There are talks everywhere from Darren Millard to Eklund are all saying that Coyotes Keith Yandle is available for trade. Darren Millard is also reporting a deal is almost close. However, it is not currently known who would he bring back or where he would go. However, I personally believe that since it's so close to the Draft, if he is to be traded, it will be on the Draft Floor.

More To Come.

Scott Arniel going to San Jose?

According to Roger Millions of Sportsnet up in Canada, there are talks that former Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Scott Arniel is about to join the San Jose Sharks. Before this rumor, he was also rumored to be on the shortlist of Head Coaches for the Manitoba Moose, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks. This is an interesting story that we'll follow for sure! Keep it here for more!
