NHL Morning Papers (Sunday Edition): Bouwmeester won’t be re-signing in Florida, O’Connell doesn’t regret the Thornton trade and do some Senators not like Bryan Murray?

I am still not feeling well, so I am going to post the articles of interest this morning then head back to sleep.

Here is an abbreviated addition of the morning papers for Sunday the 8th of February:

  • Mike O’Connell doesn’t regret his Joe Thornton trade.  He can not regret trading Thornton but he sure has to regret the return he got for the big center.
  • Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News advises Darcy Regeir to not be overly active before the trade deadline.  He makes good points throughout the article.
  • Do other Senators players feel the same as Mike Commodore does about Bryan Murray?  It isn’t Murray’s year.
  • Derek Boogaard defends fighting to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune.  The NHL isn’t getting rid of fighting anytime soon.
  • Martin Brodeur is expected to return to Devils practice next weekWatch out Eastern Conference.
  • Tom Renney doesn’t feel like the Rangers have stopped listening to himI guess the question has become: Will he last the season?
  • Larry Brooks lists a bunch of players who are available for trade.  Some names include: Niedermayer, Pronger, Horton and Bouwmeester.
  • Bruce Garrioch reports that the Panthers may not trade Jay Bouwmeester but that there is likely no chance he returns to South Florida next season.  I agree.  Bouwmeester is done in Florida, whether it is before the deadline or in the summer.
  • Pavel Kubina would be willing to waive his no-trade clause.  He will probably get dealt.
  • Jim Matheson’s Hockey World  Lots of rumors from Matheson today.
