Sporting News NHL preview schedule (SportingNews.com)
Notice a chill in the air? September arrives and bring the return of the National Hockey League -- on the ice, not in boardrooms, conventional halls or hearing chambers. Feel free to cheer. Sporting News notes the change in season with its 2010-11 Hockey yearbook, which previews the marathon to next June's crowning of a new Stanley Cup winner. To mark the occasion, SN provides online looks at all 30 teams, leading up to the season's start -- which again this year is in Europe. |
Oilers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $5,100 on Aug. 31 for his "extreme DUI" conviction in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Khabibulin was ordered to begin serving the jail sentence Sept. 4, but that probably will be delayed because he is appealing.
He was arrested last January for going 70 mph in a 45 mph zone, then flunked a field sobriety test. He was in the Phoenix area because he has a home in Paradise Valley, Ariz., and was recovering from back surgery.
Khabibulin has three years left on his four-year, $15 million contract with the Oilers. • The Oilers get their first look at the future in action soon when their blue-chip draft picks take part in the Vancouver Canucks Young... |
No. 1 pick Taylor Hall girds for adjustment to NHL (SportingNews.com)
Taylor Hall knows he faces a challenge: Even for the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft, winning a roster berth isn't a given. So when Sept. 10 arrives, Hall will be something he hasn't been since the beginning of his junior career: an outsider trying to horn his way in. His first official Oilers performance follows, when he joins fellow prospects in a five-team tournament in Penticton, B.C. But he told reporters Tuesday he knows it won't be like what he will face with the Edmonton Oilers start camp. |
Khabibulin can attend training camp despite jail sentence (SportingNews.com)
Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin can attend training camp despite a 30-day jail sentence for drunk driving, Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini said Tuesday. A Scottsdale, Ariz., jundge ordered Khabibulin to serve the time, pay a $5,100 fine and enroll in an alcohol treatment program. Had Khabibulin and his attorneys not decided to appeal the decision, the 37-year-old former star would have started his sentence on Saturday. That, according to Tambellini, is not the case. |

Predators pad defense corps with Aaron Johnson (SportingNews.com)
At 27, defenseman Aaron Johnson has been around the block a few times in the NHL. His latest career turn came Tuesday, when he signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Nashville Predators. The accord, the Nashville Tennessean reports, will pay him $550,000 for NHL time and $105,000 for the Predators' AHL Milwaukee affiliate. Johnson was an unrestricted free agent and should provide veteran depth to the Predators. The team has yet to come to terms with defenseman Cody Franson, a restricted free agent who had six goals and 15 assists in 61 games during his... |
Khabibulin's freedom a matter of legal interpretation (SportingNews.com)
With an appeal filed in his Arizona DUI case, Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin is for now a free man, able to continue his hockey career and return to Canada. Or is he? Mark DuBiel is Khabibulin's lawyer in Arizona. He handled the matter that resulted in Friday's conviction and Tuesday's sentence on three counts in connection with Khabibulin’s drunken driving arrest. DuBiel told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation his client was free to move about the continent. |

Oilers' Khabibulin awaits sentence in DUI case (SportingNews.com)
As Nikolai Khabibulin prepares to receive his sentence Tuesday in alcohol-related driving charges, the two most important men in his life are B. Monte Morgan and Steve Tambellini. The former is the judge who will decide Khabibulin's fate. The latter is Khabibulin's boss and general manger of the Edmonton Oilers. Morgan will pronounce sentence in a Scottsdale, Ariz., courtroom Tuesday afternoon. It was there on Friday that Khabibulin, 37, was found guilty of driving with a blood-alcohol level exceeding 0.08, another count for a blood-alcohol level over... |
Oilers' Sam Gagner re-signs; likely Taylor Hall linemate (SportingNews.com)
With money to spend and prized prospect Taylor Hall in need of developing playmates, the Edmonton Oilers re-signed Sam Gagner on Monday. The toll: two years at $4.55 million. The goal: for Gagner, it's becoming the team's No. 1 center. The Oilers enter training camp with Gagner battling Shawn Horcoff for the job. It's more likely he will secure a chance to set up Hall, No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft, on the second line. "Obviously, I have a lot to learn to be a first-line center, but I want to be a guy who's looked upon to play in all... |
For Oilers, decisions ahead on Nikolai Khabibulin's fate (SportingNews.com)
With Friday's conviction of goalie Nikolai Khabibulin on alcohol-related driving charges, the Edmonton Oilers have a problem. They expect to see their nominal No. 1 goalie miss at least part of training camp, depending on whether he gets jail time. They also could have the opportunity to rid themselves of his burdensome contract, if the conviction could be construed as justification to use morals terms of the collective bargaining agreement. However, that appears to be a long shot, according to a report from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal. |
