Local sports writers at the draft are tweeting that Philly is interested in Vancouver's prospect Corey Schneider of the Manitoba Moose. He was goalie of the year. There is some talk of Carter being involved in the trade but obviously it isn't 1 for 1.

I've been reading Hamhuis for Schneider and the Flyers looking else where for D-men.

That'd make an interesting week for Hamhuis.

No more head checks, but since it's up to the ref to decide what constitutes such, lol

Recchi signs for another year in Beantown

Flyers and Hamhuis are closer to a contract

I was hoping maybe the Flyers could resign Recchi to play on the PP/Richards line.

I saw Hamhuis looking to go for 5mil, which is 1.5mil too much.

[Abraxas]

yea, he's trying to grip the FA market by the balls, since there aren't many good D out there

[Thoronas]

God I hope they don't trade his rights to Vancouver. We don't need another good but not great defenseman. We need a clear cut #1 defenseman.

New rumor: possible deal coming of Ballard to St. Louis for Berglund, Halak seen shopping for reinforced helmets just in case.

[Callisto]

extra lol: Canucks blog bitching about the Chicago/Atlanta trade saying Atlanta got hosed and there should be a league investigation into the trade. You'd think they'd be pretty damn happy to not have to face Buff in the playoffs next year.

NHL Loses Rights To NHL.com, Moves Website To NHLHockeySports.com

NEW YORK—In a disappointing coda to one of its most thrilling seasons in years, the NHL lost its longstanding Internet domain last week when executives failed to pay the renewal fee for NHL.com, allowing 18-year-old California resident Fredrick Westfield to purchase the URL for $10.69. "While our online situation is not ideal, our fans will still be able to get all the latest breaking hockey news they crave at NHLHockeySports.com," Commissioner Gary Bettman said of the domain his league will use unless Westfield lowers his NHL.com asking price from the "exorbitant sum" of $2,000 to something more reasonable. "Fans can still be friends with the NHL on Facebook and MySpace, where we post tons of great stuff like photos, videos, scores, and poll questions." Bettman later admitted that he wasn't sure how the problem was overlooked nine months ago when the league was forced to upgrade from its previous Yahoo! GeoCities hosting platform.
