Hockey Trade Rumors - NHL Rumors from around the league

Ten free agent collegians gaining NHL interest

Source: Hockey Futures

The NHL’s interest in collegiate players is not limited to the annual Entry Draft. Each year, many undrafted players are signed as free agents. Hockey’s Future takes a look at 10 players that have gained considerable NHL interest as potential free-agent signees. This list is comprised of six forwards, two defensemen and two goaltenders. Unless otherwise indicated, all players stats are current as of Mar. 7.

Bobby Butler, F, 22
Senior, University of New Hampshire
Butler is enjoying the best year of his collegiate career and had recently helped to lead the Wildcats to their eighth Hockey East regular season title.The Marlborough, MA native leads New Hampshire with 47 points (25 goals, 22 assists) through all 34 games to date. His 47 points currently rank him sixth in the nation as well. Butler also leads his team in goals (25), power play goals (6), game-winning goals (4) and plus-minus (+15). He was named the Hockey East Player of the Month for November after registering 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in seven games.Butler is a power forward (6’0/185) who possesses an excellent shot and great vision. He has steadily improved over the course of his career in his skating. His quicker feet have made him more mobile and difficult to contain. Butler is also a tenacious player who plays with an edge.

Justin Fontaine, C, 22
Junior, University of Minnesota-Duluth
Last season, he was one of the WCHA’s top snipers and this season Justin Fontaine simply picked up where he left off.The Bonnyville, AB native currently ranks second on the Bulldogs team with 42 points (21 goals, 21 assists) in 35 games to date. His 21 goals and six game-winners lead Minnesota-Duluth. Lethal on the power play, his 13 man-advantage tallies co-lead the nation.Fontaine is a small (5’11/175) forward with great hands and finishing ability. He possesses a knack for scoring timely goals. One of Fontaine’s best assets is his play around the net. He is not afraid to go into high traffic areas to make plays and many of his goals are often scored on deflections or off rebounds. His ability to read plays is also quite good.An All-WCHA selection last season, Fontaine could potentially earn another selection again this season.

Chay Genoway, D, 23
Senior, University of North Dakota
Genoway got his final year at North Dakota off to a terrific start, but it would all come to a halt on Nov. 13. when a hit by Aaron Marvin (CGY) forced Genoway out of the lineup indefinitely.The Morden, MB native played in nine games to date and posted 10 points (four goals, six assists). All of his goals came on the power play.Genoway is an offensive defenseman with great hands and on-ice presence. He is a fluid skater with good speed. He quarterbacks the power play with confidence and his puck skills are outstanding. What Genoway lacks in size (5’9/174), he more than makes up for in his leadership and work ethic. He is a tireless worker and leads by example. On a young Fighting Sioux team, Genoway has been invaluable in guiding North Dakota to another great season in the WCHA.Genoway was off to arguably his best start of his collegiate career. An All-American West Second team selection last season, Genoway may have been on his way to another and All-American season were it not for his injury.

Erik Gustafsson, D, 21
Junior, Northern Michigan University
Gustafsson is one of two Swedish-born players on the Wildcats roster. After a successful rookie campaign two seasons ago, Gustafsson has continued to build on it and has become one of the CCHA’s most dominant two-way defensemen.Gustafsson has appeared in 34 games thus far for Northern Michigan. He leads the Wildcats in scoring among blueliners with 28 points (three goals, 25 assists). Gustafsson also leads all CCHA defensemen in scoring. Twenty-two of his 28 points have come in league play.Gustafsson is a smooth-skating defenseman who has tremendous awareness and hands. And his defensive abilities are equally as good. Though he is small in stature (5’11/208), Gustafsson is strong both with and without the puck. His added strength has made him more difficult to compete against in all three zones.Last season, Gustafsson earned the CCHA’s Defensive Defenseman of the Year honor as well as an All-America West Team selection. He could potentially repeat both feats again this season.

James Marcou, C, 22
Junior, University of Massachusetts
The UMass Minutemen possess one of Hockey East’s best top lines this season and anchoring that line is James Marcou. The Kings Park, NY native currently leads UMass in scoring with 46 points (10 goals, 36 assists) playing in all 34 games to date. His 43 points are also tied for seventh in the nation. Marcou’s 36 assists also set a new school single-season record as well.Marcou is small (5’8/165) playmaking center with deceptive speed and great vision. But what is perhaps his greatest characteristic is his ability to make the players around him better. His quickness and hockey sense makes him difficult to defend against too. What separates Marcou from many other collegiate players is the way he thinks the game and that has a number of NHL scouts taking notice of his potential.An All-American East second team selection last season, Marcou is in a strong position to be an All-American East First team selection this season.

Chase Polacek, C, 20
Junior, RPI
Since arriving in Troy, NY two seasons ago, Chase Polacek has continued to build on a stellar career. This year, he has taken both the ECAC and the entire NCAA D-I by storm.The Edina, MN native currently ranks second in the nation with 52 points (26 goals, 26 assists) playing in all 38 games to date. His 26 goals lead the nation. It is also more than double what he posted last season. All but two of Polacek’s points have come in ECAC play, where he currently leads the league in both points (50) and goals (26). Most recently, he was named to the ECAC All-First Team.Polacek is a small (5’8/175) and speedy center. He utilizes his diminutive stature to great advantage, particularly in traffic. His speed and quickness also make him difficult to contain. He has great finishing ability and is also offensively creative. He can get to the net. He is tenacious and durable as well.

Cody Reichard, G, 23
Sophomore, Miami University
Reichard is one half of the nation’s best goaltending tandem and a big reason behind the Miami RedHawks success this season. After the heartbreaking loss to Boston University in the national championship game last April, Reichard has returned to form and looks better than ever.The Celina, OH native has appeared in 22 games to date, posting a 17-2-3 record that includes five shutouts. His 1.48 goals against average and .841 winning percentage both lead the nation, while his .937 save percentage co-lead the nation. Reichard and goaltending partner Connor Knapp (BUF) have allowed an average of just 1.72 goals per game this season, which is the lowest in all of D-I.Reichard’s greatest asset is his calm and cool demeanor. Simply put, he is grace under pressure. Although he's undersized (5’11/165), Reichard uses his frame remarkably well. He has economy of movement. He is very good on his angles and does an outstanding job of controlling and limiting his rebounds.

Blair Riley, LW, 24
Senior, Ferris State University
The Ferris State Bulldogs wrapped up their regular season finishing third in the CCHA and one key component of that success is Blair Riley. He was one of the CCHA’s most consistent point producers all season and could be in position to garner both All-CCHA and All-American team selections.The Kamloops, BC native currently leads Ferris State with 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) playing in all 36 games to date. His four power-play goals and two shorthanded goals also lead the team, while his plus-10 ranks tied for second on the team. Riley was named the CCHA’s Player of the Month back in November after posting 10 points (eight goals, two assists) while leading Ferris State to an undefeated month (4-0-2).Riley is a winger that possesses soft hands and outstanding hockey sense. One noticeable improvement that Riley has made coming into this season is his added size (6’0/220), strength and toughness. And that certainly hasn’t been lost on the NHL scouts who have seen him play. A notable attribute of Riley’s is his cannon-like shot and equally hard release. What makes Riley such a threat is his ability to drive to the net. His size and strength make it exceedingly difficult for opposing defenders to not only contain him but to also knock him off of the puck.

Ben Scrivens, G, 23
Senior, Cornell University
Scrivens is the latest in a string of outstanding goaltenders coming out of Cornell and like some of his predecessors, has etched his name into the annuls of the Big Red record books as well.The Spruce Grove, AB native has appeared in 29 games thus far this season, posting a record of 17-8-4 that includes four shutouts. His 1.99 goals against average and .931 save percentage both rank third in the nation. Scrivens was recently named to the All-ECAC First Team and was one of just two players receiving a unanimous selection to the All-Ivy League, after leading both the ECAC and Ivy League with a .933 save percentage and a .705 winning percentage. On Jan. 29, Scrivens broke the Cornell career saves record and heads into the ECAC post-season with 2,743 saves.Scrivens is a big goaltender (6’2/192) with great agility and good lateral movement. His play down low and on his angles is also quite good. One notable improvement that Scrivens has made over the course of his career has been in his puck-handling. That, along with his added confidence has made him more consistent, particularly in stepping up in big games.

Mike Testwuide, RW, 23
Senior, Colorado College
Testwuide (pronounced "testweed") may not rank among the top 50 scorers in the nation, but he’s gotten a ton of NHL interest and it’s not hard to see why.The Vail, CO native currently ranks second on the Tigers in scoring with 30 points (20 goals, 10 assists) in 33 games thus far. His 20 goals also lead the team. Testwuide’s penchant for scoring at key times can be seen on his special teams play. Of his 20 goals, half have come on special teams – seven on the power play and three shorthanded. Testwuide has also posted a team-high five game-winning goals too.

Testwuide is a power forward with size (6’3/220) who has excellent hands. He uses his size and strength well, especially in protecting and controlling the puck. He is very competitive and plays with a good deal of grittiness. Testwuide’s skating has steadily improved over the course of his collegiate career and that has gone a long way towards helping him become a dominant offensive force as well.
Other notables: Dan Bakala, G – Bemidji State University; Cory Conacher, F – Canisius College; Jack Connolly, C – University of Minnesota-Duluth; Thomas Dignard, D – Yale University; Jeff Dimmen, D – University of Maine; Rick Schofield, F - Lake Superior State University

Raycroft Robs Stempniak!

Travis Yost

The Phoenix Coyotes managed to take two monumental points from their new arch nemesis in the Vancouver Canucks, but the game was filled with plenty of theatrics.
Aside from Vernon Fiddler constantly jawing with the entire Vancouver Canucks lineup, there were tons of youtube worthy plays for the entire sixty five minutes. Even the shootouts were spectacular, as Lee Stempniak and Shane Doan both put on quite a show.

But without question the play of the night was Andrew Raycroft’s higway robbery of Lee Stempniak in the first period. Stempniak’s wide open blast looked like a sure tally, but Raycroft dove across the pipes and made a seemingly blind save on the ex-Maple Leaf.

Stempniak won the war, however. He tallied two goals and beat Raycroft in the shootouts, and the ‘Yotes won by the score of 4-3. Here’s the video!

Teams pursued Modano at deadline, but veteran chose to stay with Stars

MIKE HEIKA

Three teams were pursuing Mike Modano at the trade deadline, but Modano said he did not want to waive his no-trade clause and leave the only NHL franchise for which he has played.

Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk confirmed Wednesday night that he asked Modano the day before the March 3 trade deadline if he wanted to pursue a move. Nieuwendyk said he did not actually negotiate with another team, because he first had to establish whether Modano was open to leaving.

Nieuwendyk said he did not want to reveal the teams, but Modano said one was Washington.

"We talked about this a couple of months ago, and we agreed at the time that if there were teams interested, I would bring the information to Mike," Nieuwendyk said. "I did that, and he decided he wanted to stay."

Modano said it would have felt strange to leave the team.

"Honestly, I just couldn't do it," he said. "We were in pretty good shape in the playoff race, and there's no guarantee with a new team. I've been with this team my whole life, and I want to stay with this team."

Chris Chelios is headed back to the show.

Pierre LeBrun

The 48-year-old defenseman, a three-time Norris Trophy winner, has been called up by the Atlanta Thrashers, general manager Don Waddell told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

"Can't wait. Got to make the most out of this chance," Chelios said in a text message to ESPN.com.

Chelios had 22 points (5 goals, 17 assists) in 46 games with the AHL's Chicago Wolves this season. He signed an NHL deal with the Thrashers on March 2. The Wolves are Atlanta's primary AHL affiliate.

"Chris has been an outstanding leader and mentor for our young players in Chicago and his level of play has made him deserving of this opportunity," Waddell said. "He's a tremendous competitor who strengthens our group of defensemen and instantly adds a veteran presence to our locker room."

The Chicago native, who has played in more games than any other American-born NHL player, last played in the NHL last May 27 with the Detroit Red Wings against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference finals.

Toronto Maple Leafs Rebuild Tracker

The Toronto Maple Leafs rebuild effectively began once John Ferguson Jr. was fired in January of 2008. Cliff Fletcher came in, and despite a valiant effort on his part, he was not able to acquire assets for the Leafs veterans. After a few minor moves, Brian Burke came in, here is a look at what Brian Burke has been able to do, and where the franchise is going.

When Burke first came in, aside from Luke Schenn, there was very little positive movement happening in Leafland. Since then, he has made the roster his team, aside from a few players who are likely to be moved, this roster belongs to Brian Burke.

Since Burke has taken over as GM, he has moved the following players: Jason Blake, Nik Antropov, Matt Stajan, Alexei Ponikarovsy, Niklas Hagman, Dominic Moore, Pavel Kubina, Lee Stempniak, Ian White, Jiri Tlusty, Anton Stralman, Jamal Mayers and Justin Pogge.

Players brought in: Garnett Exelby, Mike Komisarek, Francois Beauchemin, Jonas Gustovsson, Phil Kessel, Tyler Bozak, Christian Hanson, Philipe Paradis, Dion Phaneuf, Keith Aulie, Fredrick Sjostrom, J.S. Giguere, Luca Caputi.

Of the 15 players moved out, 7 were European, and 11 were forwards.

Of the 12 players brought in, 10 are North American, and 5 are forwards.

Whether you like it or not, Burke is being true to his word and his form.

His team is going to be tough, physical, and largely North American.

At the Draft, Burke was again, true to form. Nazem Kadri is a hell of a prospect, plays with heart, and has top notch offensive instincts.

Here is a look at the four aspects of the team, and how Burke has done at rebuilding so far (Mind you he is far from done)

1. Goaltending - B- He did a good job to bring in Gustovsson this season, who has been decent for being on such a terrible team. However in hindsight, he should not have banked this season on Toskala for so long. The Giguere trade seems like it could have been done much earlier, and with solid goaltending, the Bruins pick would not be so high. The Giguere trade was good though.
JS Giguere
Jonas Gustovsson
James Reimer
Grant Rollheiser

2. Defense - A- Mind you, this is not based on their performance this year, it is based on securing assets for the future. Burke has done an excellent job at building this teams defense. He brought in two character leaders in Komisarek and Beauchemin, capitalized on Ian Whites high value to bring in a slumping #1 defensemen, held off on trading Kaberle over the summer, when his value was half of what it is now, and did not trade Schenn.
Dion Phaneuf
Tomas Kaberle
Mike Komisarek
Francois Beauchemin
Luke Schenn
Carl Gunnarson
Jeff Finger
Garnett Exelby
Keith Aulie

3. Forwards - C- So far, Burke has been a bit lackluster in the forward department. He got Phil Kessel, but it came at quite a cost. The jury will be out for years on that one. He brought in Bozak and Hanson for nothing, and they have been pretty good this year. The forward core will go through retooling this off-season, major retooling, it remains to be seen which route he will take, whether it be by Tomas Kaberle trade, or another defensmen, or free agency, but this forward core will look very different.
Phil Kessel
Tyler Bozak
Nikolai Kulemin
Viktor Stalberg
Mikhail Grabovski
Luca Caputi
Fredrick Sjostrom
Christian Hanson
Jamie Lundmark
John Mitchell
Rickard Wallin
Colton Orr
...Yikes

Prospects - C - I mostly like his draft picks, and the prospects that they already have, but the trading of what is going to be a high pick this year, and possibly a high pick next year, does not bode well for the prospects. Many of the prospects no longer count, because they are NHL regulars.

Going forward, here are some must-dos in my opinion:

1. Get a top 3 forward - I understand that Burke wants to keep Kaberle, but if they cannot get Patrick Marleau, I think Kaberle has to go.

2. Resign Nikolai Kulemin, before his value sky rockets - Seriously, ever since this kid found out he can hit, he has been terrific. He needs more consistency in his offensive game, but he is the best forechecker on the team.

3. Resign Jonas Gustovsson - He has got all of the skill to be a good NHL goalie, but he needs more time.

4. Get a top 6 forward through a salary dump. They could target both Chicago and New York, as they both have bad contracts who they would be willing to move.

5. Do not move Nazem Kadri or Luke Schenn.

Burke's ability as a GM has been under fire lately, and while I think he is the right man for the job, I can certainly see differing view points.

So here are some discussion questions. Do you think the Leafs are headed in the right direction? Do you like Burke's moves? What would it take to trade Tomas Kaberle?

Moore's motto: Have stick, will travel

PAT HICKEY, The Gazette

Dominic Moore seems like an unlikely candidate to serve as the missing piece to the puzzle as the Canadiens battle to earn a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Canadiens acquired Moore from the Florida Panthers on Feb. 11 in exchange for a second-round pick at the 2011 NHL entry draft. Montreal is Moore's seventh stop in an NHL career that ironically began at the Bell Centre on Nov. 1, 2003, when the 6-foot, 196-pound centre collected three assists to become the second New York Ranger to score three points in his NHL debut.

But the 29-year-old has fit right in with the Canadiens, providing a veteran's presence and a strong work ethic. He is a dependable faceoff man, and he provided two important goals and an assist as the Canadiens won three games on their recent four-game road trip.

"He's solidified our third line and he came up with a big play for us tonight," coach Jacques Martin said after Moore set up Brian Gionta with less than two minutes to go to ignite Montreal's 4-3 comeback shootout win over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night.

When the Canadiens acquired Moore from the Panthers, it marked the fourth time he has been traded. He also changed teams once on waivers and once as an unrestricted free agent.

"Obviously, it's not ideal to keep moving," Moore said. "I wouldn't wish it on anyone, to be honest with you. At the same time, I haven't been handed anything in my pro career.

"Some guys get lucky and they get tons of opportunity right off the hop and others have to scratch and claw for anything they get, and that's been my road," he added. "It's made me a lot better person and a lot better player, and I can only be proud of that. As much as you face obstacles along the road, in the end it's how you respond to them." When general manager Pierre Gauthier was asked about Moore's frequent moves, he suggested it was a case of teams wanting Moore rather than dumping him.

Marc Savard may miss season

Steve Conroy

Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said it’s well within the realm of possibility that Marc Savard could miss the rest of the season with the Grade 2 concussion the star playmaker suffered Sunday in Pittsburgh.

“That could be. There are only (17) games (remaining in the regular season),” said Chiarelli from the GM meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. “You look at the time he was unconscious on the ice and some of the symptoms he’s exhibiting now, this is a serious concussion.”

Chiarelli did not talk with Savard yesterday, but said he will meet with a neuro-psych specialist tomorrow.

As for the perpetrator of the hit, the Penguins’ Matt Cooke, there still was no decision on what, if any, penalty he’ll pay for the blindside blow to Savard’s head. While Chiarelli said “you’d like to see some certainty and a swift conclusion,” he allowed for the fact that league disciplinarian Colin Campbell could use his time at the GM meetings to get feedback as the GMs discuss head shots.

A decision on a suspension for Cooke could come today.

Cooke trying to reach Bruins' Savard

Dave Molinari, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Penguins left winger Matt Cooke has "reached out" to Boston center Marc Savard, according to Penguins coach Dan Bylsma.
Odds are the NHL office will do likewise with Cooke soon.

Savard was injured Sunday with a hit to the head by Cooke late in the Penguins' 2-1 victory against the Bruins at Mellon Arena.

Bylsma said Monday that the Penguins had not yet heard from the league about a hearing for Cooke, but "we know they're looking at all [questionable] hits and situations, so we know they're looking at it."

Savard, who got a Grade 2 concussion when Cooke hit him on the right side of the head with his upper left arm or shoulder, flew back to Boston Monday and told the Boston Herald he was experiencing intense headaches and severe fatigue and didn't know when he might be able to resume playing.

Cooke did not participate in an optional practice Monday at Southpointe nor did he speak with reporters when it ended, but Bylsma said Cooke tried to contact Savard.

"I know Matt Cooke has reached out to him," Bylsma said.

He did not elaborate on the precise message Cooke had wanted to deliver.

Bylsma said he did not see the hit as it happened and had not viewed a replay before meeting with reporters after the game Sunday, but he subsequently did watch a replay and offered this assessment:

"I think Matt Cooke's coming back with the intention of breaking up a good scoring chance by one of their players. The unfortunate part is that a guy gets hurt and goes down on the ice. That's not a situation anyone wants to see. It doesn't matter what color uniform he's wearing."

If the NHL decides to suspend Cooke, it could be done anytime before the Penguins' next game, which is Thursday night at Carolina.

Tuukka Rask close to return

Steve Conroy

Tuukka Rask is back in the fold.

Rask practiced yesterday with a handful of Bruins , his second day on the ice after he was forced to the sidelines when an old right knee injury cropped up.

Rask said he feels 100 percent, though given the fact he hasn’t had a full team practice since getting hurt last week, Tim Thomas likely will be in net tonight against the Maple Leafs.

Now that he’s healthy, Rask admitted he was a little nervous when he felt “a little snap” last week.

“Obviously, when you feel pain in the knee, with the job that I do, it’s concerning, but we talked to the doctors and the doctors looked at the MRI and said there was nothing wrong with the knee, so that’s good,” he said.

Rask believes the injury dates back three years ago when he was doing summer training in Finland. His right meniscus was surgically repaired.

“I think it was something leftover from that,” he said. “There was fluid in my knee and it made it swell and it got sore. It’s just a little tweak. I was walking and I heard a little snap and I guess that’s what happened. It’s nothing that happened on the ice.”

Before he got hurt, Rask was the B’s go-to guy, starting seven straight games and playing well. But Thomas has been terrific in past three, and with the B’s desperate for every point, it’s not known when Rask will get back.

“I haven’t had a team practice in a few days, but I just try to keep my mind straight and try to work on the good things and not worry too much when I get to play,” Rask said.

The top 10 reasons why Crosby snubbed Letterman invite

By Greg Wyshynski

In yet another "how the NHL should capitalize on the Olympic viewership column, Artie Gigantino of the San Francisco Chronicle Examiner makes a few salient suggestions (loved the newspaper ad) and a few awful ones (1. Ban fighting; 2. ???? 3. Get Olympic ratings). But this idea definitely resonated:

    Although the season resumed right away, allow two or three of them to appear on Leno or Letterman. That is worth its weight in gold, no pun intended. Drew Brees made the rounds after the Super Bowl, as did Derek Jeter after the World Series.

Worth its weight in gold ... provided the guy with the gold is up for it. Larry Brooks of the NY Post wrote on Sunday that David Letterman's show extended an invitation to Sidney Crosby(notes) when the Pittsburgh Penguins were in New York last week, and were denied.

What better way to examine this decision than with a Top 10 list, right?

From the NY Post:

    Upon learning of the snub, Slap Shots was told that this wasn't the first time Crosby, who last year declined to appear on NBC's "Today" show following Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup victory, had rejected a request from Letterman's "Late Show."

    We only can imagine the demands on Crosby's time. Yet, in the days that hockey was front-page and back- page material after Canada gold, U.S. silver in overtime attracted more television viewers in the States than any game since the Lake Placid Miracle in 1980, it's difficult to understand why the NHL's most recognizable player and ambassador refused to spread the gospel.

Well, it's not that difficult. But it is a bummer. So, from the home office in Cole Harbour, here are The Top 10 Reasons Sidney Crosby Declined the Letterman Invitation:

10. Crosby and other high-profile Olympians for the U.S. and Canada went beyond the call with the media and appearances for a few weeks, and once the last beaver was deflated at the Closing Ceremonies it was back to NHL business -- especially for a guy with Crosby's focus. So it's understandable that he's turned the page on the Olympics and that he's probably exhausted by them, too.

9. Worried that Letterman would only leave him sloppy seconds on the cute staffers.

8. Crosby was worried about the bitter U.S. fans in a New York audience receiving him the same way the Ryan Miller loyalists did in ittsburgh.
