1. The Los Angeles Kings have terminated the contract of forward Mario Kempe and he has signed a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow (KHL)

2. The Vancouver Canucks have had interest in Maple Leafs defenseman Tyson Barrie. One source told Rick Dhaliwal that they had a significant interest in him at the NHL draft.

3. Kyle Turris will be a healthy scratch again tonight for the Predators as they face the Canucks. Things haven't gone so well with Turris and Nashville.

5. Flames and Sabres have been talking trade for a little while but haven't been able to work anything out. Marco Scandella is available. Sabres are dealing from a position of weakness because Bogosian's return is going to force them to make a couple moves.

6. The Canucks have been trying to trade a forward for over a year and still haven't found a deal they like.

7. The Calgary Flames have provided an update on TJ Brodie after he collapsed on the ice and went into convulsions last week. "TJ has been working out for the past several days and today skated on his own under the supervision of our medical staff. Over this past week, he has had consultations with appropriate specialists in Calgary. To date, all medical evaluations and testing have been reassuring. We still work to complete final testing and are optimistic he will re-join the team in the near future."

8. The Columbus Blue Jackets have named Paul MacLean as an assistant coach on John Tortorella's staff. MacLean will be in charge of special teams.

9. Darren Dreger on Insider Trading says Sabres GM Jason Botterill has made offers on a couple of forwards around the league. Says there is a growing sense of urgency in Buffalo, and that they want to make 1 or 2 trades within the next week or two.

10. Oilers still on the market for a 3rd line center. Wanted Pageau in the offseason, but they waited too long and the price I'm hearing is a 1st and a prospect. Oilers don't want to do that.

11. Nashville in the market for a depth defender.
