Hedman may fall to third?

Speculation from Dater's blog that Tampa wants to trade one of their stars to a team that wants Duchene.

NOW Granato does it....Arnason scratched

From the article, "Also, it appears likely veteran center Tyler Arnason will be a healthy scratch Saturday."

Peter Budaj is back in net. Cumiskey is out indefinitely.

Jones out indefinitely

Awesome.

Also, Stewart is sick. McCormick has been activated though and should play against Toronto. Raycroft in net.

Divisional Opponent Watch: Gaborik placed on IR

Marian Gaborik continues to replace Forsberg as the most fragile player in the NHL. His chances at re-signing with the Wild must have taken a hit with his move to IR. If his injuries continue, you can bet on Gaborik being traded by the deadline.

NHL 09 rankings out

InYoFace — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 22:21:39 -0000

IGN has posted the NHL09 rankings for all NHL players. (Just click on the captain to see the teams rankings.) There are few items that caught my eye though for anyone interested.

1. There is no overall ranking. According to Bill Barnwell at IGN....

...at this stage of the game, EA's still tweaking the game and its AI, which affects the overall ratings to the point where they're not ready to be confirmed.

2. I guess they assume Sakic and Forsberg will be back since they are on the team. They both have the highest offensive awareness at 95. Of course, Forsberg as an atrocious durability rating of 63.

3. Stastny is ranked 87 on offensive awareness. Seems low for the team leader in points last year.

4. Svatos is the most accurate shooter on the team with a 90 ranking. His passing? 80.

5. Raycroft is ranked HIGHER than Budaj in almost every category. Budaj beats him in only recovery and durability. I guess that Calder trophy is still carrying him. And why is everybody, even game makers, so down on Boots?

6. And just out of curiosity, Ovechkin's offensive awareness is 95 while Crosby is 99. I thought they would be even.
