The Blues have re-signed D-man Tyson Strachan to a 1 year $600,000 (NHL) over $105,000 (AHL) extension for the upcoming season. Strachan signs a two-way deal but has a decent chance to begin the season on the NHL roster. He's played 38 NHL games over the course of the last two seasons.

This is the same contract the Blues gave to Oystrick who was signed last week.

Detroit has a 1 year offer on the table that would allow veteran Kirk Maltby to finish up his career with the Red Wings.

D-man Nick Boynton is considering an offer to return to the Chicago Blackhawks. While an offer to return to Chicago is on the table Boynton is also strongly considering retirement.

The Blackhawks are closing in on re-signing 24 year old Bryan Bickell to a multi-year contract.

Expect to hear news regarding UFA D-man Denis Grebeshkov some time this week.

I recently reported San Jose is looking to go for it all this season and would be willing to trade for Tomas Kaberle even if it meant for just one season. Ryane Clowe or Devin Setoguchi could be players San Jose is willing to part with in exchange for Kaberle.


More to come,

Andy Strickland
