Deas: Lite rykten i ryktesfloden
*defenceman Ed Jovanovski is "very interested" in playing for the Florida Panthers
*For the second straight year, goalie Roberto Luongo is expected to take Florida GM Mike Keenan to arbitration.Trading Luongo would certainly free up the needed money to sign Jovo
*The third hot rumour has unrestricted free agent defenceman Wade Redden going to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
*The fourth hot rumour is out of Buffalo, where the Sabres currently have only three players under contract. Word has it the team can't afford to re-sign unrestricted free agent defencemen Teppo Numminen and Jay McKee, either of whom would look just fine in a Canucks jersey
*The sixth hot rumour comes from New Jersey, where unrestricted free agent Patrik Elias wants a raise from $4.2 million per season. Word has it the Devils have said no, but the New York Rangers are saying yes.
Hawerchuk: Det var tydligen politik på högsta nivå som resulterade i ett avtal mellan NHL och Ryssland
"Political pressure from Russia's hockey-mad president is behind the transfer deal between the NHL and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin knows a thing or two about working the power play.
Putin is a huge hockey fan and he wants nothing more than to see Russia win the 2007 World Hockey Championship tournament in Moscow.
And the best way to make sure the Russians can assemble a contending team is to have peace with the National Hockey League. And that's the backdrop to why Russia has tentatively agreed to join the NHL-IIHF transfer agreement."
Paddan: Nu är tydligen avtalet mellan NHL och Ryska Ishockeyförbundet färdigförhandlat.
"Russia’s ice hockey chiefs approved on Friday a transfer agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL), ending a long confrontation with their North American counterparts.
Russian Hockey Federation Vladislav Tretyak said his country would soon sign a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the
NHL.
“With this agreement we can say we’re back as full members of the international hockey community. Common sense has finally prevailed,” the former goaltender told a news conference.
Russia had been the only major hockey power not to sign the deal, which was approved by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) last year, calling it unfair."

Det om Elias känns ganska troligt, då han hintat om att han inte nödvändigtvis stannar i NJ och att Rangers nog inte resignar Sykora (även om han var bra där).
Elias - Nylander/Straka - Jagr
brr... :)
