| Nagy joins the run to Russia | Wednesday 8/20, 8:55 PM CT |
|
Yet another NHL free agent has decided to grab the money and move overseas to play in Russia's KHL. Kings forward Ladislav Nagy signed a two-year contract worth $5.6 million with the Russian league despite receiving interest from nearly one dozen NHL squads, according to the Sporting News.
Our View: Nagy was one of the few scorers left on the free-agent market, though injuries have slowed his progress over recent seasons. In the end, Nagy notes the sizeable pay raise and the promise of ice time in Russia was too much to pass up. |

| Flyers interested in Sundin | Wednesday 8/20, 6:15 PM CT |

As the season approaches and the teams of the NHL seek to solidify their rosters, no commodity influx is garnering more attention than future Hall of Fame forward Mats Sundin, and with recent rumors that place a short-but-powerful list of teams in talks with his agent, today we learn the Philadelphia Flyers have a desire to join those talks and seek a way to add Sundin to the Flyers' roster, according to ESPN.com.
Our View: According to the reports from ESPN, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren says he'd love to add free agent Mats Sundin to his roster despite his team lacking the salary cap space to do so. How do they accomplish that? We have no idea, but the longer Sundin takes to make a decision, the deeper the list of teams that want him becomes. |

Drew Larman has agreed to a one-year deal with Florida, according to NHL.com. GM Jacques Martin said, "We are pleased to have signed Drew for another season and look forward to his continued growth in our organization. He has had the opportunity to play with our club and understands the commitment and work ethic needed to compete in the NHL."
Our View: Larman contributed one assist over six brief games with the Panthers last season. The 23-year-old winger may need another year of development before he can compete for a role with the team. |
