On the Beat: Could the Rangers trade Drury to make room for Sundin?

In sad news, Ducks netminder J.S. Giguere’s father has passed away. As the article points out, the Ducks have tried their best to help him through this tough time.
Here are the Bruins line combinations from practice this morning. Really amazing how well the team has played without much scoring from Patrice Bergeron.
Mike Keenan says during his time in St. Louis he was ordered to trade the team’s star players. Keenan doesn’t mince words here.
The Hurricanes have activted Frank Kaberle off of IR. Gives the Canes another puck-mover on the blue line.
Could Chris Drury be on the move from the Big Apple? Adrian Dater thinks so. I could see the Avs making a major push.
Here are the lines for the Blue Jackets this morning. I wonder if it may be time to move Brassard back up to center Nash?
Scott Clemmensen will start the second half of the Devils’ back-to-back tonight in Buffalo. It has become apparent that Sutter has very little confidence in Kevin Weekes
Lots of news and notes from Wild camp today courtesy of Michael Russo. I think Burns’s move back to defense is very, very significant, even though it is overshadowed by Gaborik’s return to the line-up.
Here are the Habs lines from practice today. A reunion on the top line.
Seth Rorabaugh of Empty Netters has an interesting list of the teams that have had the top two NHL point scorers on the same team in one season. I love Gretzky’s 205 to Coffey’s 126. Insane!
Seems like the Bolts players like Rick Tocchet. Certainly a good thing after the trouble with Melrose.
Some notes from Capitals practice. Nothing too significant.
