Teams Contact Jonsson

via CKNW,

MOJO Sports Radio has learned the Vancouver Canucks have placed a call to Swedish defenseman Kenny Jonsson to see if he would or is able to play in North America. The Philadelphia Flyers are also said to have contacted Jonsson regarding his services. However, a Swedish reporter told MOJO that Johnson can not come over this season because he is under contract in the Swedish Elite League.

It hs been my understanding that Jonsson could not play this year according to the CBA and the he was still property of the Islanders. But with the lack of CBA information available, who knows!!!

Plans For Trade Day Thursday

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

03/08/06 at 07:30 PM ET | Comments (0)

KK will be a little different starting tomorrow morning, but only for the day. I will try to post the daily hockey talk early in the morning, probably up to about 9:00am, then the rest of the day will be dedicated to trade talk. Depending on how busy I am during this time period, I may not be able to respond quickly to emails or comments but I am sure you understand that. Each new trade will be posted as a separate topic or thread, to make any breaking trade easier to find. If the topic is a possible trade, I will update that thread as information breaks, but if the talk becomes official, it will get a new topic. Even though the trade deadline ends tomorrow at 3:00pm EST, some trades may not be official until an hour or so after the deadline so look for KK to get back to normal at about 5:00pm. As always, if you hear anything, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with a source and a link if possible.

What Goalie Is Next

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

03/08/06 at 05:43 PM ET | Comments (0)

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

...the market for goaltenders may now be tepid-to-lukewarm for the final hours leading up to Thursday's mid-day trading deadline. Unless the Coyotes drop the asking price for Joseph, he probably isn't going anywhere. Long-term, Noronen could be a good acquisition for a lot of teams, but he has just 189 minutes of NHL action to his credit this season (plus, a short conditioning stint with the Sabres' minor-league affiliate in Rochester this past week). For a team such as Edmonton, which wanted to stabilize its goaltending position with a view to going deep into the playoffs, moving on someone like Noronen was just too risky a proposition.

Cole Not Feeling Lucky

from the News & Observer,

One more foot-pound of pressure, doctors told Erik Cole, and the fractured vertebra he suffered could have had far more disastrous consequences. "It's tough to hear I was lucky," Cole said. "You don't feel very lucky in a hospital bed with a broken neck."... "To see the hit and see him only get a three-game suspension makes it hurt worse," Cole said.
