AROUND THE NHL: SEPTEMBER 21, 2009
As the start of the regular season draws closer, teams are looking to put the final touches on their rosters. Here are the latest news and rumours around the NHL today:
Babchuk headed to the KHL again?
It appears as though defenceman Anton Babchuk is on his way to the Kontinental Hockey League yet again. According to the News and Observe, the former Carolina Hurricane is close to signing a contract with Avangard Omsk, although neither Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford or agent Don Meehan would confirm it.
Bourque on the move?
The Boston Globe reports the Washington Capitals have informed forward Chris Bourque that they will trade him if they cannot find room for him on the roster. However, Bourque himself has denied this report.
Blackhawks and Kings talking trade?
Various sources have reported on the recent rumour that has the Los Angeles Kings and the Chicago Blackhawks in trade discussions involving Alexander Frolov. Chicago Now reports the Kings would deal Frolov in exchange for Kris Versteeg and Cam Barker. However, it is unlikely the Hawks would trade Barker unless they were getting a good puck moving defenceman in return. Perhabs someone like Jack Johnson?
TNL NOTE: This rumour seems a little far-fetched in my opinion. Don't bank on this being a truthful report. I don't see the Kings trading Frolov anytime soon, and same goes for the Blackhawks and Barker, and even Versteeg for that matter. I'll be very surprised if this trade were to actually happen.
