There is irony, on a base level. Jason Spezza 's apologists will often suggest there's a chance he can do the Steve Yzerman metamorphosis from all-out offence to two-way centre when he gets older. Well, they both wear No. 19 and they're both right-handed shots. Now the Ottawa Senators centre has been left off the Canadian Olympic hockey team's summer camp roster chosen by none other than Steve Yzerman....

from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald, Astonishing at it might seem, Sutter probably even underpaid. In the hockey market, understand, Jay Bouwmeester’s a Picasso or a Rodin. These types of players don’t simply drop out of the sky and into your lap: A 25-year-old stud defenceman stuck in the bright and balmy, but still deadened hockey market of south Florida, who, you get the feeling,...

by Adam Gretz Filed under: Flames After acquiring his negotiating rights from the Florida Panthers during this past weekend's NHL Entry Draft, TSN is reporting on Tuesday night that the Calgary Flames have signed defenseman Jay Bouwmeester to a five-year contract with a $6.6 million salary cap hit. With Bouwmeester now locked in for the long haul, the Flames, on paper, have a rather scary looking defense...

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet, So, here’s the rumour: The Calgary Flames add Jay Bouwmeester, then flip Dion Phaneuf to Ottawa for Dany Heatley. They lose some offence from the blue-line in the transaction, but bring in a local boy who scores 50 goals up front. And the salary cap hit in losing Phaneuf and gaining Heatley only costs GM Darryl Sutter $1 million. Senators GM Bryan Murray gets the...

from Scott Burnside and Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, Here’s a look at how some teams managed that navigation at this weekend’s draft and what lies ahead: Anaheim Ducks: Many GMs we spoke with marveled at the job Anaheim GM Bob Murray has done since taking over last season when Brian Burke took the top job in Toronto. Murray acquired what amounted to four first-round draft picks in his Chris Pronger...

from Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald, The Flames now have $45.618 million committed to 16 players. The NHL’s salary cap is $56.8 million. Certainly, people are wondering how Bouwmeester — who figures to command Dion Phaneuf-type money ($6.5 million) — can fit into the Flames’ pay grid? “It’s really not that hard,” Sutter told a Calgary radio station....

Rachel Hunter just got dumped. By a random hockey player. The 39-year-old ex-wife of Rod Stewart was putting the finishing touches on her August 14 wedding when her fiancé, 27-year-old Jarrett Stoll, called it off . The supermodel's rep confirmed to the British newspaper that the nuptials were canceled, and that Jarret failed to give her a reason behind the cancellation. The couple bought a...

from Steve MacFarlane of the Calgary Sun, Wanting to see what new head coach Brent Sutter can do for the Calgary Flames, excited fans can’t wait for the fall. One Flame in particular will be an interesting study. Being reunited with his Red Deer Rebels coach from his stellar days in the WHL, Sutter’s hiring might be the best thing to happen to Dion Phaneuf. Preaching a ‘wolfpack’...

from Brian Biggane of the Palm Beach Post, If a deal is made for Bouwmeester, it probably will be at or before the NHL Entry Draft being held in Montreal on Friday and Saturday. Speculation in Philadelphia is that the Flyers would be willing to send 25-year-old right winger Joffrey Lupul to Florida in exchange for Bouwmeester’s rights.... Vancouver also is expected be in the running, and goaltender...

Kane follows in the footsteps of Calgary defenceman Dion Phaneuf, who was on the 2009 cover. EA has also signed top draft prospect John Tavares to promote the game.

The NHL awards were announced on Thursday. One award winner, which I think was chosen poorly, was Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins who won the Norris Trophy. He was nominated alongside Mike Green of the Washington Capitals and Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit red Wings. Either of them would have made a better selection. In the First All Star Team voting, Green did defeat Chara, which shows that the...

After a few days of just kicking tires I have been told that teams are beginning to actually construct their offers for Dany Heatley . The clock is ticking as Senators GM Bryan Murray would like to have a deal in place before the draft next Friday. It should come as no surprise that the LA Kings are apparently one of the first teams being mentioned when it comes to actualy putting a deal together....

...sports that don't involve a stick, ice, and pucks of vulcanized rubber?

Before you settle in for a Wing-dinging of Titanic proportions in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, did you see what Damien Cox wrote about Dany Heatley , saying he's not a "MENSA candidate" and suggesting he be left off the 2010 Canadian Olympic hockey team? That seemd to be the crux of Cox's point, beyond the obligatory Ottawa-zinging — "I get the part where he doesn't want to...
