Deas: ...och nu verkar Malkin ha bytt agent igen.
"It is believed that Malkin has returned to Pat Brisson and J.P. Barry, who bought IMG's hockey division last month. Brisson and Barry represented Malkin for several years but the Russian phenom left them in June to sign with Newport and Meehan, who also represents fellow Russian Alexander Ovechkin."
MorganaLefaey: Nu försöker Alexei Mikhnov med hjälp av det tänkta kryphålet i den ryska arbetslagstiftningen krångla sig ur sitt kontrakt med Torpedo Yaroslavl och ansluta till Oilers.
"There's a possibility the Yaroslavl owners could turn to the courts and litigation to keep Mikhnov, should the Russian labour law employee-employer loophole work. But the six-foot-five winger isn't anywhere near as big a fish as Malkin, the centreman who averaged a point per game for his team last year, so Yaroslavl might not put up a big fight. You can bet Malkin's team will pull out all the legal stops to keep the 20-year-old, however."
Deas: Men om man drar det till sitt yttersta så skulle det ju gå även i sverige. Sen kan ju man ha olika former av gentlemens agreement, men det hjälper ju inte om killen sticker utomlands.
Deas: Frågan är väl om något sådant också skulle fungera i sverige. Lär säkert finnas någon som har koll på våra lagar och förordningar. Jag menar även om jag har avtal med mitt jobb så har jag ju rätt att säga upp mig och får då också ett antal veckor som jag måste jobba för dem innan jag får lämna.
Deas: Så har då Ryska Ishockeyförbundet ändrat sig igen och kommer inte att skriva på transferavtalet mellan NHL och IIHF.
"Russia's Sports Minister and former hockey great Vyacheslav Fetisov said on Wednesday he would only approve a 'fair deal'.
Asked if he wanted Russia to join the agreement with the NHL, the former captain of the Soviet national team said: "Yes, only if it's a fair deal, but I'm opposed to the one that they (NHL) are forcing us to comply with at this time."
Om jag minns rätt när det gällde Orszaghs övergång till NHL så sade man att det inte spelade någon roll om man hade en out-klausul eller inte i kontraktet. Men tydligen spelar det roll ändå, i varje fall för övergångar till AHL:
"För lite drygt tre veckor sedan, skrev Wiikman överraskande på för New York Rangers AHL-farmarlag Hartford Wolf Pack - men i dag kom beskedet att övergången stoppats. Detta då målvakten hade ett gällande kontrakt med HPK utan någon out-klausul."
Deas: Nu verkar det närma sig avslut i försäljningen av Penguins:
"Sam Fingold, a Hartford, Conn.-based commercial real estate broker and longtime hockey fan, signed a letter of intent Friday to purchase the Pittsburgh Penguins from Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux´s group.
A deal that is expected to be in the $175 million range was announced after the 34-year-old Fingold met with Lemieux, who bought the two-time Stanley Cup championship team in federal bankruptcy court nearly seven years ago -- partly to protect more than $25 million in deferred salary owed him.
Fingold, a Toronto native, has said he might be interested in moving the team to Kansas City and its new arena. But in a statement issued by the team Friday night, he said he now intends to keep them in Pittsburgh as long as a new arena is built there."
Danne_l: För att återkomma till ämnet om Buffalo Sabres logga så har man tydligen två nyheter.
"The Sabres announced Thursday they will wear their original blue and gold uniforms for 15 home games next season, appeasing the majority of fans who have practically been begging the team to go back to its origins. Managing partner Larry Quinn also confirmed the team will be using the new logo that has created intense fan backlash, though it will have complements the public has not yet seen."
Någon smart marknadsförare på Reebok har tydligen kommit på att alla NHL-lag skall ge supportrarna möjligheten att bära matchtröjor i färgerna rosa och ljusblått. Om jag inte minns fel så tog i varje fall Flyers fram en rosa matchtröja förra säsongen
"It allows women to be fashionable and still support their teams," said Jenny Lyons Cohane, product manager for women's licensed apparel at Reebok."
"Yesterday in the evening for the negotiations with Yevgeny Malkinym, after interrupting its annual leave, into Magnitogorsk urgently arrived flying the President of hockey club "metallurgist" Magnitogorsk Victor filippovich Rashnikov. As a result of the completed by late night negotiations, during which was present the leaders of club and hockey player with their agent, was annulled the previous contract, according to which Malkin was the player of Magnitogorsk club until 30 April, 2008, and was signed new contract. His following season Yevgeny will conduct in the composition of "metallurgist", and from 1 May 2007, Of malkin will become free agent and it will be able to independently select its future club.
It is worthwhile to note that the important value for Yevgeny in making of this decision played the direct interest of the President of club Victor rashnikova in further career of player."
Stämmer detta har han kommit undan kontraktet som sträckte sig till 08 men spelar i Ryssland den kommande säsongen. Med tanke på addresen (metallurg.ru) är jag riktigt orolig. Fan vad de kör med grabben?
