@SNHockeyCentral #Ottawa Senators' Daniel Alfredsson ain't done yet, decides to play next season http://bit.ly/12qHXop @sportsnet

Nice touch. :thumbsup:

Is Ron Rolston awake? @reporterchris Keith Acton is joining the #oilers as associate coach, per @BlueJacketsNHL. He and Dallas Eakins spent time together with #leafs.

@Nichols_NHLPool #Flapanthers are letting Stephen Weiss, Jose Theodore and Tyson Strachan test free agency. Via @hfialkov

Players who have NTCs & are being bought out can choose not to be on waivers. I'm sure this is the case with Richards.

@drosennhl Glen Sather says the Rangers will be making a decision on the future of Brad Richards "shortly."

He says no, but....... @Nichols_NHLPool Mark Messier: "Some will perceive this as a reaction to the coaching decision, nothing could be further from the truth." #NYR

@Nichols_NHLPool New York Rangers have announced Mark Messier is leaving the organization. #NYR

Completely agree...Bolland's only 27 years old BTW.

Anybody interested in a veteran two time Cup winning player as a 3rd line Center? @Real_ESPNLeBrun Heard from another team that the Blackhawks are shopping center Dave Bolland...

Warning: Please do not set yourself up for disappointment......AGAIN

Two moves that we're expected. @BuffNewsVogl Another former Sabre getting bought out. “@ESPNChiHawks: Bowman says Hawks will buy out Montador and Olesz if unclaimed after waivers”

Please describe this Canadian race you speak of. :rolleyes:

@Nichols_NHLPool Vinny Lecavalier open, willing to play for #Habs, per @LouisJean_TVA. Will evaluate everything and yes, some teams have already reached out.

The Lungo buyout has to be coming soon I would think: @DarrenDreger Rangers remain undecided on Brad Richards buyout. As is the case with Lecavalier, teams are eager to see Richards hit the market.

‏@FriedgeHNIC Lecavalier has 135 points in last 168 games. That's 0.8 ppg. A lot of teams can use that production.

I'd say no with three young goalies in their system.

TBL had to do this....Good thing they have an owner with the ability to make it happen: @capgeek Lecavalier's cap penalties for early retirement, by year: 2015-20 $2.728M 2016-20 $3.978M 2017-20 $5.561M 2018-20 $6.479M 2019-20 $6.730M @Nichols_NHLPool Yzerman: "The Lightning organization is indebted to Vinny; we thank him for all he has done here and we wish him well as he moves forward." @TheFourthPeriod Ryan Malone could be next for the Bolts... They're actively trying to trade him, first.

@capgeek The Vincent Lecavalier buyout will cost $30M over 14 years -- $2.142857M per season through 2027. #NHL #TBLightning

Wow! Vinny is being bought out by TBL: @JoshRimerHockey Wow Tampa Bay is buying out Vincent Lecavalier according to @RenLavoieRDS

I think he either agrees to an extension or is dealt before the season starts in the same way that Staal went to Carolina. Update: @Nichols_NHLPool Three-year contract extension for Chris Kunitz w/ #Pens. $3.85 million cap hit. One more year on his current deal.

@TSNBobMcKenzie PIT forward Chris Kunitz is on verge of signing a 3-year extension with Penguins. Total value likely in the $11M to $12M range.

DALY WARNS TEAMS TO PLAY BY THE BOOK WITH BUYOUTS, TRADES: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=426385 NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly sent out a memo to all 30 teams this week, warning them to play by the book when it comes to buyouts and trades. Daly's memo warned that any trade/buyout/re-acquire scenario would be deemed a circumvention of the collective bargaining agreement. The CBA prevents teams from re-signing players they've bought out for one year.

Kevin Shattenkirk re-ups for four years with the Blues.

The Buyout rundown: http://www.sportsnet...n-what-we-know/ These guys must not be aware of Leino recovering from his "procedure".
