Sharks say Niemi was too good to pass up (SportingNews.com)
It was early August when the Chicago Blackhawks declined to pay Antti Niemi the $2.75 million he was awarded in arbitration. He became an unrestricted free agent, one month after other free-agent goalies had begun their search for starting jobs. Or as his agent put it, it was like selling a big-screen television the day after the Super Bowl. Not the best timing. “But at the same time, he’s a pretty good player,” Niemi’s agent Bill Zito told Sporting News. |

Suit threatened if Marc Savard contract is voided (SportingNews.com)
Boston Bruins center Marc Savard has had enough with speculation over whether the NHL might void his seven-year, $28 million contract. His agent, Larry Kelly, on Thursday threatened to sue the league if the deal is rejected. Savard signed his extension last season, at which time the league OK'd it. Now, following fallout from Ilya Kovalchuk's contracts with the New Jersey Devils, the league is poking into several long-term deals to see if they, too, violate terms of the collective bargaining agreement. |
Blackhawks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Training camp is right around the corner for all NHL teams. For the Blackhawks, that means their defense of their first Stanley Cup in 49 years will officially begin.
And as everyone in the hockey world knows by now, many of those players handling that defense are new. For the Hawks, training camp really means adjusting after the salary-cap departures of Dustin Byfuglien, Kris Versteeg, Andrew Ladd, Brent Sopel, Colin Fraser, Ben Eager, Adam Burish and John Madden left holes in their once formidable lineup.
There will be growing pains for sure as new players try to find their roles. But there should also be excitement among the players as many of them try to prove they belong on a championship roster. "We just have to get everybody on board," Hawks captain Jonathan... |
