Still Available
from James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail,
The No. 1 question I’ve been getting this week is “Who are the free agents still available that are worth watching?” So much so that I put together a list yesterday to keep track.
As of late July, here are 70 free agents, both unrestricted and restricted, of note. Two of the UFAs here, Denis Grebeshkov and Brian Pothier...

Brace Yo' Self Fool: It's Time For More Kaberle
Thank you Doug Wilson, and Elias for giving me a reason to beat a dead horse. There really is no sense of urgency for bringing up the Kaberle trade again, with Burke on vacation this is not going to happen anytime soon. In that time more teams are likely to enter, exit, and re-enter the Kaberle sweepstakes, so most daily arguments will be null and void by the time Burke shocks us...

NHL Free Agency: Joe “Scorvo” Corvo Returning To Carolina Hurricanes
Joe Corvo is returning to Raleigh.
After being traded to Washington at the 2010 Trade Deadline in a deal that sent a 2011 second rounder (eventually traded to Philadelphia for Jonathan Matsumoto), prospect Oskar Osala (in the AHL), and defenseman Brian Pothier (now a free agent) to Carolina, Corvo is once again coming back to a place where he just might have prospered most.

Monday debate: the week that was
What a week for the Canes. Rod Brind'Amour retires one day and Ray Whitney is gone the next.
Alexandre Picard and Brett Carson, like Whitney, were allowed to become unrestricted free agents. Unlike Whitney, neither has found a taker.
General manager Jim Rutherford said the team would not be aggressive in free agency come July 1, and he was true to his word. The Canes were very...

Canes blueline starting to take shape.
Even though there haven’t been any major announcements, the Hurricanes look like they have answers to the big questions about the defense lines for 2010-11. There’s been talk for several weeks about the return of the mysterious Anton Babchuk, and that looks more and more real every day. They’ve signed Jay Harrison to a bargain basement one year contract renewal...

Rutherford mentioned bringing back Anton Babchuk. He talked about possibly signing Brian Pothier. He talked about the promise of Jamie McBain.
So what's the best path for the Canes? Do they need Babchuk? Should they look to make a trade? Should Pothier...

Big but inconsequential win for the Canes
On Thursday night, the Penguins and their mob of fans invaded Raleigh. They used blitzkrieg tactics to take a 2-0 lead just five and a half minutes into the game, and it looked like they would have their way with the host Hurricanes. However, the Hurricanes fought back and ultimately emerged with a 4-3 overtime win. The sea of powder blue sweater-clad fans, who were boisterous...

When I laid out how I thought the Capitals’ lines would look after their flurry of trades last week, I failed to include John Carlson. He was called up at some point that Wednesday. It didn’t make the Post’s blog until two days later and it’s still not on ESPNs transaction log. Washington has been calling up and sending down John Carlson and Karl Alzner...
