No games today. NHL Player News Mats Sundin Mats Sundin is interested in joining the Rangers, according to the AP. Sundin’s agent, J.P. Barry, has spoken with the Rangers’ front office all week, although those discussions have not yet included specific terms for a contract. Alexander Radulov NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Continental Hockey League (KHL) president Alexander Medvedev met, supposedly in secret, Wednesday and failed to reach an agreement on the status of forward Alexander Radulov, according to the New York Post. Mats Sundin The drama surrounding free-agent forward Mats Sundin seems to have no end. Earlier today we reported Sundin was interested in joining the New York Rangers, but we are now receiving reports that Sundin's agent, J.P. Barry, is denying such claims are true, according to TSN. Carl Soderberg Carl Soderberg will not be playing in the NHL this season as he decided to remain in Sweden, according to the Boston Globe. Todd Bertuzzi Former Canucks head coach Marc Crawford defended himself in court documents, saying he had no control over Todd Bertuzzi when he attacked Steve Moore, seriously injuring him, in a game in 2004. Bertuzzi filed a claim saying Crawford should pay part of any damages received by Moore, who is suing Bertuzzi, according to the Toronto Star. In the statement, Crawford said in part that the attack "was not done under any specific or general direction or encouragement from Crawford, was a direct disobedience of the instruction that Bertuzzi had been given from the bench to get off the ice, and was a violation of Bertuzzi's duties." Brendan Shanahan While the Rangers ponder what to do with veteran Brendan Shanahan, hoping to seal one last season with the Blueshirts with a new deal, the forward has told the press he will be willing to listen to offers from other teams if a one-year deal with the Rangers can't be worked out, according to SI.com. Mats Sundin Mats Sundin's agent, J.P. Barry has been in constant communication with the Rangers because of the free agent center's interest in joining the team, according to the New York Post. No numbers have been exchanged, according to the Post, which said Sundin's second choice is Philadelphia. Barry downplayed the rumor, saying there have not been increased discussions with the Rangers, according to TSN.ca. "Everybody has been calling regularly trying to get an idea of when his timetable is. Mainly I have just told them we have talked about everything and right now it's just for him to decide," Barry told TSN.ca. Marian Gaborik Wild assistant GM Tom Lynn has told reporters the club will have to consider trading star RW Marian Gaborik if he doesn't accept their contract offers, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "If he were to indicate he wasn't going to sign, then we'd have to make a decision about whether we'd want to play with that distraction," Lynn told the Pioneer Press. "We would have to weigh the pros and cons, and if that time came and he was not re-signing, then we would have to decide his trade value. But it's not an automatic." Stefan Legein The Columbus Blue Jackets got some shocking news on Tuesday when they learned that prospect Stefan Legein has decided to quit playing hockey, according to TSN. Drew Larman Drew Larman has agreed to a one-year deal with Florida, according to NHL.com. GM Jacques Martin said, "We are pleased to have signed Drew for another season and look forward to his continued growth in our organization. He has had the opportunity to play with our club and understands the commitment and work ethic needed to compete in the NHL."
