After playing in Nordiques de Québec, Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks, Mats Sundin has now been drafted to the world of poker. Instead of battling it out on the ice, the green tables have become his arena. Use this Full Tilt bonus code to establish a bankroll that you can use to take down the Swede.
With the NHL trade deadline fast approaching, the Coyotes are looking to move big former first-round draft winger Peter Mueller, who has had a disappointing season, with just four goals, 16 points.
Note: In other news Canuck forward Pavol Demitra has left the team for personal reasons.
Carey Price isn't losing sleep over the words he had nearly two weeks ago with defenceman Andrei Markov. The argument Markov sort of suggested didn't happen. The one forward Brian Gionta flatly said didn't take place.
What the Habs goalie does have a problem with, however, is that someone, presumably a teammate, "snitched," taking the discussion beyond the dressing room.

NHL GMs feel they could've given Flames more for Phaneuf
By ERIC FRANCIS
While both the Maple Leafs and the Flames accomplished plenty in the seven-player trade involving Dion Phaneuf last week, obviously not every-one's happy about it.

Slumping Penner typical of what ails Oilers
By DEREK VAN DIEST, QMI Agency
Depending on Sam Gagner’s status, Edmonton Oilers head coach Pat Quinn has a couple of cards to play heading into Monday night’s game against the Phoenix Coyotes.
With 14 forwards to choose from, Quinn has some option when it comes to his lineup.
On Saturday, Robert Nilsson and Gilbert Brule were healthy scratches. Nilsson has sat out three consecutive games while Gilbert has been in the press box for the past two games.

Cap issues stopped Rangers from snaring Kovalchuk
LARRY BROOKS
Understand this. Once Atlanta Thrashers general manager Don Waddell decided to move Ilya Kovalchuk yesterday — why the rush, is a mystery — the Rangers could not have acquired the goal-scoring machine. That’s even if they had been willing and able to supersede the Devils' winning offer of Johnny Oduya, Niclas Bergfors, Patrice Cormier and a No. 1.

MCKENZIE: WADDELL DID WHAT HE COULD WITH KOVALCHUK DEAL
For those who are saying the Atlanta Thrashers didn't get nearly enough for Ilya Kovalchuk, what exactly did you expect?
A lot, apparently.
And for that, we are all guilty to varying degrees.

How should Stars address goalie questions?
Stars Director of European scouting (and former North Stars goalie) Kari Takko played for Assat, where Rynnas plays, and has a good relationship with the franchise, so the Stars are hoping that could help if they get to the point where they want to try to recruit Rynnas. But again, Stars scout Johan Garpenlov had a good relationship with Gustavsson, and Fabian Brunnstrom is a close friend, and the Stars still could not win that recruiting battle.
Anyway, it's a name to watch....and it shows just how wide the Stars are spreading their net in hopes of keeping options open in goal.

The San Jose Sharks bolstered their defence by acquiring Niclas Wallin in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.
San Jose also acquired a fifth-round pick in 2010 and sent a 2010 second-rounder -- that previously belonged to Buffalo -- to the Hurricanes to complete the deal.

If all had gone according to plan, Ray Whitney would have been a Los Angeles King by now and Niclas Wallin would be headed to San Jose.
Instead, they're both still in Carolina. Sources told me on Saturday that both trades were scuttled, as each player used their respective no-trade clauses to try to extract contract extensions from their suitors. (Both players are set to become unrestricted free agents July 1.)
The Bruins might be on the verge of trying to deal Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas.
While it would have been unthinkable when Thomas was signed to a four-year, $20-million (all terms US) contract extension last spring, two league executives confirmed to the Sun on Saturday that Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has held talks with teams looking for goaltending help.
Trade Rumors: Oft-injured Pisani a tough sell for GM Tambellini
Jim Matheson, Edmonton Journal
If Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini is trying to trade Fernando Pisani, the NHL scouting reports will be on how the Edmonton Oilers forward looks going up and down the pressbox rather than the wing.
More activity on the way – both before and after Olympics – after busy week, GMs say
David Shoalts
The salary cap has squeezed the fun out of the NHL's trade market in recent years, but a series of blockbuster trades this week had fans buzzing and two general managers say there will be more activity.
The Toronto Sun is reporting A candid Olli Jokinen suggests Dion Phaneuf may have been railroaded out of Calgary because of the loathing of disgruntled Flames supporters.

TAMBELLINI HAS LIST OF SIX TEAMS SOURAY WOULD GO TO
TSN is reporting Sources tell TSN Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini has a list of at least six teams Sheldon Souray would waive his no-trade clause to join, assuming one of these teams is willing to accept the gamble presented in Souray's surgically-repaired hand.
