Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC The #Sabres confirmed what @DTPRobSanderson said would happen. RW Mark Mancari signed for the #Amerks. http://sabres.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=637362&navid=DL|BUF|home

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger N.Foligno agrees to 3 year deal in CBJ. AAV is around $3M

GR says no Salary Arbitration for Ennis and Kaleta: http://wgr550.com/Ennis--Kaleta-NOT-going-to-Salary-Arbitration/13643381

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC Talks said to progressing very well between #Sabres and goalie David Leggio. He was the #Amerks MVP last year.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun Really like Babcock's move there with Renney hiring. Babcock can be real hard on players. Renney will be good buffer. Knows NHL inside out Maybe the Sabres need a similarly experienced buffer to Lindy in light of recent player complaints.

Weber can't believe his pal Suter left the Preds: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399987

I like Rayzor, he's come quite a way since he first started in the biz and I agree with you about Harry. Glad Danny Gare has a lesser role too. He just is not very good as an analyst.

Hard to listen to him when every other word seems to be yaknow.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun The #Flyers have signed D Bruno Gervais (2 years, $825,000 avg per season) and F Ruslan Fedotenko (1 year, $1.75 M)

Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr Update: #Pens and #Flyers kicking gear in a major way on Bobby Ryan. Might make his price sky rocket. #NHLDucks will wait for Nash trade 1st Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr Source: #Sabres still very interested in Ryan but not going to go into a ridiculous bidding war. Ehrhoff & Grigorenko will NOT be included.

M. Perfect ‏@mazz1973 @HockeyyInsiderr Pierre Mcguire On @TSN990DriveShow CONFIRMED# Det and Pens thought they had their guy. Keep up the good work! Respect! Retweeted by Hockeyy Insiderr Who knows...Pens certainly wouldn't say it publicly.

LOL...Good question.

They also have Koivu, Clutterbuck, and Heatley, plus Backstrom is a pretty good netminder.

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle Parise, Suter, Leipold and Fletcher are holding conference call with media in about a half hour. Should be interesting.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun Comparing tone of both media calls: Lamoriello taking this a lot better than Poile Apparently Poile is not taking the loss of Suter very well. Guess he knows Shea Weber could be next.

Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr Hearing the dominoes will start to fall. Verifying a rumor that #NYRangers kicking gears in a big way with #CBJ for #NASH.

Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr #Pens disgruntles with Parise breaking agreement. Shero VERY mad. Also losing Sullivan to #Coyotes. PIT needs to reevaluate options. Boo Hoo for the Pens...LOL

Both are still unsigned....Word is that Semin has been the Red Wings 2nd option if they couldn't land Parise. Arnott would be a good fit with the Sabres I believe.

Interesting that three of the most sought after UFAs went to Edmonton and Minnesota...A new day for smaller markets perhaps. The NHL has a sense of humor: NHL ‏@NHL RT @mnwild: BREAKING: The #mnwild has agreed to terms on a two-year contract w/ Jake Dowell. Another Badger in the fold. More to come.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun Ryan Suter also got same $98 million over 13 years with Wild

Read today that Nash is thinking of expanding his list since it's narrowness may be hampering Howson's ability to make a deal. Would be nice if Buffalo is an option.

EJ Hradek ‏@EJHradek_NHL NSH must make best offer to Weber NOW. If he says no, open bidding. There will be MANY suitors. NSH can't afford repeat of Suter departure

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun Deal is $98 million over 13 years for Parise

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie Zach Parise has agreed to terms with MIN. More confirmation from the insider crowd.

Wheeler dealer time....Come on Darcy!!!
