Ryan Murray, D, CLB

Ryan Murray

Blue Jackets' Murray Likely To Be Cleared In July

News: Ryan Murray (shoulder) has not been cleared for contact but expects to be after a visit to the doctor in early July, the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline reports.
Analysis: Ryan Murray, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, should be back at full strength in time for the start of the 2013-14 season. There's a chance that he will skip right over the AHL and start his career with the Blue Jackets.

Nino Niederreiter, RW, NYI

Nino Niederreiter

Isles Could Deal Niederreiter For Jonathan Bernier

News: The Islanders are one of several teams interested in acquiring King goaltender Jonathan Bernier, according to Newsday. If that's the case, Nino Niederreiter is likely to be among the trade chips sent to Los Angeles.
Analysis: El Nino and the Islanders' brass seem to be better off parting ways, and this could be just the way to do it, benefiting both the Isles (who need a long-term goalie) and Nino Niederreiter (who needs a new organization).

Joe Piskula, D, CGY

Joe Piskula

Defensemen Piskula Signs One-Year, Two-Way Deal With Predators

News: Joe Piskula signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Monday, NHL.com reports.
Analysis: Joe Piskula would earn $135,000 at the AHL level and $550,000 at the NHL level under the terms of the deal. The defenseman registered 14 points in 69 games last year with the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals and Abbotsford Heat.

6/17/2013

Kirill Petrov, RW, NYI

Kirill Petrov

Isles Offer Petrov Guaranteed Roster Spot

News: Kirill Petrov has been guaranteed a roster spot by the Islanders, according to the Islanders Point Blank.
Analysis: The spot has apparently been guaranteed if Kirill Petrov reports to the team once his KHL contract runs out in the summer of 2014. Petrov has always been an intriguing player with top-end skills but has hardly lit up in the KHL with 49 points in 99 games.

6/15/2013

Kristians Pelss, RW, EDM

Kristians Pelss

Oilers' Pelss Confirmed Dead

News: Officials in Riga, Latvia confirmed Saturday that Kristians Pelss has died, the Edmonton Journal reports.
Analysis: Sad news indeed about the passing of Kristians Pelss, a 20-year-old prospect who had just inked an entry-level deal with the Oilers a year ago. Many details surrounding his death are uncertain, but he reportedly jumped into the Daugava River from the Stone Bridge in Riga early Tuesday morning.

Andrei Kostitsyn, LW, FLA

Andrei Kostitsyn

Kostitsyn Staying In Russia

News: Andrei Kostitsyn has signed a one-year deal with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL, the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Andrei Kostitsyn last played in the NHL in 2012 as a member of the Nashville Predators. After deciding to sign with Traktor Chelyabinsk during the NHL lockout, he will now remain in Russia for at least another season.

6/13/2013

Drew MacIntyre, G, BUF

Drew MacIntyre

Maple Leafs Sign MacIntyre

News: Drew MacIntyre has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Maple Leafs, The Globe and Mail reports.
Analysis: Drew MacIntyre spent time between the AHL and NHL last season and figures to provide depth at goaltender when with the Leafs next season.

6/13/2013

Kevin Connauton, D, VAN

Kevin Connauton

Stars Sign Connauton to Three-Year Contract

News: Kevin Connauton has agreed to a three-year contract with the Stars, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The young defenseman will likely start in the AHL, where he scored 31 points in 69 games between stints with the Chicago Wolves and Texas Stars last season. He will look to reach the NHL for the first time next season.

6/11/2013

John Gibson, G, ANA

John Gibson

Ducks Prospect Gibson Brings Home Bronze

News: John Gibson led Team USA to the bronze medal at the recent World Hockey Championships. He finished the tournament 3-1-1 with a 1.56 goals-against average and .951 save percentage.
Analysis: He took over for the Bolts' Ben Bishop, who had a sketchy tourney, and absolutely shined. He made big saves and then played with ice water in his veins in the bronze medal match, shutting down the Finns in a shootout. His future is very bright.

6/6/2013

Antti Tyrvainen, LW, EDM

Antti Tyrvainen

Oilers' Tyrvainen Headed Back To Finland

News: Antti Tyrvainen has signed with Jokerit in Finland, the Edmonton Journal reports.
Analysis: Including the playoffs, Antti Tyrvainen played in 103 AHL games and tallied 12 goals and 18 assists. He was unlikely to make any impact at the NHL level, so heading back to Finland was probably the smart move.

6/5/2013

Karri Ramo, G, TB

Karri Ramo

Flames' Ramo Agrees To Multi-Year Contract

News: Karri Ramo agreed to a multi-year contract with the Flames on Wednesday, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: The deal will not be made official until the start of free agency on July 5. With Miikka Kiprusoff expected to retire, Karri Ramo is viewed as the likely successor in goal after he was acquired in a blockbuster deadline trade during the 2011-12 season. He's spent the last four seasons as one of the premier goaltenders in the KHL, recording three seasons of sub-2.00 GAAs.

6/2/2013

Tim Thomas, G, BOS

Tim Thomas

Islanders' Thomas Mulling Comeback?

News: CBC's Elliotte Friedman suggests that Tim Thomas may be considering a return to hockey next season, NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Tim Thomas' current deal is set to expire at the end of this season. The Islanders, however, currently hold his NHL rights and since he didn't report this season, they could elect to toll his contract for the 2013-14 campaign. However, reports last week indicated the Isles intended to let Thomas become a free agent. That said, the report shows that the 39-year-old goalie could also consider playing in Europe, where he played before establishing himself in the NHL.

5/30/2013

Tomas Hertl, C, SJ

Tomas Hertl

Hertl Signs Deal With San Jose

News: Tomas Hertl has signed a three-year, entry level deal with the Sharks, CSN Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Tomas Hertl, San Jose's top draft pick in 2012, spent this season playing in the top Czech league and finished the season with 18 goals and 12 assists in 43 games.

Scott Harrington, D, PIT

Scott Harrington

Pens' AHL Team Signs Harrington To Tryout Contract

News: Scott Harrington has signed an amateur tryout contract with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Analysis: Scott Harrington was with OHL London for the 2012-13 season, collecting 19 points (three goals and 16 assists) in 50 games.

Olli Maatta, D, PIT

Olli Maatta

Maatta Signs Tryout Contract With Pens' AHL Affiliate

News: Olli Maatta has signed an amateur tryout contract with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Analysis: Olli Maatta was with OHL London for the 2012-13 season, collecting 38 points (eight goals and 30 assists) in 57 games.

5/24/2013

Brendan Gaunce, C, VAN

Brendan Gaunce

Gaunce On The Canucks' Radar

News: Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Brendan Gaunce will "be given every opportunity" to make the team's roster next season, the Vancouver Province reports.
Analysis: One of Gillis' focuses this offseason is to make his team younger, which puts Brendan Gaunce, Frank Corrado, Nicklas Jensen, Jordan Schroeder and others on the Canucks' radar for the 2013-14 campaign. Gaunce, 19, showed promise at the junior level this season, totaling 82 points in 77 regular and postseason games with Belleville of the OHL. He could be the answer to the Canucks' constant problems at finding a third-line center. Put Gaunce on your radar as a late-round flier if he does nab a roster spot.

5/15/2013

Louis Leblanc, C, MON

Louis Leblanc

Canadiens' Lelbanc In Team's Future Plans

News: Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin acknowledged Louis Leblanc took a step back in his development in 2012-13, but the 2009 first-round pick is still in the team's plans, the Montreal Gazette reports. "He knows he has to be better and he knows it's a big summer for him," Bergevin said. "It's going to be up to him. But he's a good young player that we hope one day will play here."
Analysis: Louis Leblanc finished with just 10 goals and eight assists while posting a minus-18 in 62 games for AHL Hamilton this past season. He had showed some promise when called up during Montreal's abysmal 2011-12 season, but slumped badly and wasn't even given a shot to make the big club when the lockout-shortened season kicked off in January.

5/9/2013

Jesse Blacker, D, TOR

Jesse Blacker

Maple Leafs Call Up Blacker

News: Jesse Blacker was called up to the Maple Leafs on Thursday, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.
Analysis: Jesse Blacker was simply called up to provide the Maple Leafs with an extra defenseman if Mark Fraser is forced to miss Game 5 with a cranial fracture. He's not expected to be much of a contributor if activated.

5/1/2013

Zemgus Girgensons, C, BUF

Zemgus Girgensons

Sabres' Girgensons Finishes Strong

News: Zemgus Girgensons scored three goals in three playoff games as Rochester of the AHL was eliminated from the postseason. Said Rochester coach Chadd Cassidy to The Buffalo News: "He's really come a long way this year. More than anything from what I've seen is just his confidence with the puck has been through the roof. He always plays hard, always plays through people. He's tough to play against, but you can see that confidence when he has the puck."
Analysis: Zemgus Girgensons battled through a concussion earlier in the season, but the first-rounder did pretty well in his first professional campaign, finishing the regular season with six goals and 17 points. The Sabres look like they're heading into a major youth movement, so Girgensons may be coming on strong enough that he'll have a decent shot at a roster spot with the big boys next season.

4/30/2013

Brian Rolston, LW, BOS

Brian Rolston

Rolston Retires From NHL

News: Brian Rolston retired on Tuesday after 17 NHL seasons, The New York Times reports.
Analysis: Brian Rolston tallied 342 goals and 419 assists for five different teams in his career. He was an unsigned free agent and did not play in the 2013 season. In his retirement statement, Rolston said, "Getting the chance to play the game I love for 17 years has truly been a dream come true."

4/30/2013

Nick Cousins, C, PHI

Nick Cousins

Flyers' GM Says Cousins Not Ready

News: Flyers GM Paul Holmgren feels Nick Cousins, 19, is not quite ready to play in the NHL, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Analysis: Nick Cousins was dominant in his final junior-eligible season, posting 103 points (27G, 76A) in 64 games for Sault Ste. Marie in the OHL in 2012-13. He's obviously gifted offensively, but Holmgren thinks he has some learning to do at the other end of the ice.

4/29/2013

Anders Nilsson, G, NYI

Anders Nilsson

Nilsson Recalled By Rangers

News: Anders Nilsson was among the eight players called up by the Islanders in advance of the playoffs, ESPN New York reports.
Analysis: The others were Ryan Strome, Brock Nelson, John Persson, Johan Sundstrom, Matt Donovan, Aaron Ness and Calvin de Haan. The group will give the Isles some depth on hand to turn to in the event of a postseason injury.

4/28/2013

Rickard Rakell, RW, ANA

Rickard Rakell

Rakell Joins Ducks

News: The Ducks have recalled Rickard Rakell from OHL Plymouth.
Analysis: Rickard Rakell, who did not record a point in four games with the Ducks earlier this season, finished up his junior campaign with 44 points in 40 games. The 2011 first-rounder will give the Ducks some depth up front for their playoff run.

4/28/2013

Hampus Lindholm, D, ANA

Hampus Lindholm

Ducks' Lindholm Recalled Saturday

News: Hampus Lindholm was recalled from AHL Norfolk on Saturday, the Ducks' official website reports.
Analysis: Hampus Lindholm, the Ducks' 2012 first-round draft choice, scored 11 points and had a plus-5 rating in 44 games during his first AHL season. He was one of eight players recalled Sunday, and may have the brightest NHL future of that group.

4/27/2013

Evgeny Grachev, LW, STL

Evgeny Grachev

Blues Recall Grachev

News: Evgeny Grachev was recalled Saturday from AHL Peoria.
Analysis: Evgeny Grachev scored 26 points, including 11 goals, 76 games for Peoria this season. He played 26 games with the Blues last season, but this is his first stint in St. Louis this year.
