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.

Apparently unsatisfied with the offers he received for Marc Savard, Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli on Friday said he won't be trading the high-priced center. "We told Marc we are not moving him and he is part of the organization," Chiarelli told ESPNBoston.com.

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. |
Flyers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
After weeks of silence, the Flyers' training facility in Voorhees, N.J., has come alive with sounds of skates cutting ice and pucks ringing off goalposts.
In his second-floor office that overlooks the rink, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren is hoping his offseason moves will help the Flyers return to the Stanley Cup Final, something the Penguins and Red Wings managed in 2008 and 2009.
"I think we're deeper on defense, but I also think we've learned from the experience of the playoffs and I think we can use that to our advantage," Holmgren said. "I think the carrot that's hanging in front of them is we just went to the Final and there's a next step they need to take. Teams have done it." The Penguins lost to the Red Wings in the 2008 Final, then returned to beat... |

Andrei Markov pushing recovery from knee surgery (SportingNews.com)
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from knee surgery, according to Canada's Rogers Sportsnet's website. Markov was injured April 30 during the Stanley Cup playoffs. He had surgery May 18 and began an expected six-month rehab.

Steve Downie gets two-year deal with Tampa Bay Lightning (SportingNews.com)
Steve Downie's rise as an NHL player continued Wednesday as the Tampa Bay Lightning announced they signed the restricted free-agent winger to a two-year, $3.7 million deal. Not bad for a guy who early in his career was criticized for stupid penalties, foolish fights and a 20-game suspension. Downie, 23, showed maturity to go with his skill and toughness last season, his first with the Lightning, and finished with 22 goals, 24 assists, a team-best plus-14 and a 19.0 shooting percentage that was tied for fourth in the NHL. |
