    Malkin gives two weeks' notice to Russian team

    PITTSBURGH -- Evgeni Malkin has filed a letter of resignation with his Russian Super League team, a procedural move necessary for the star forward to sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins and begin his NHL career.

    Malkin remained hidden Wednesday, four days after abruptly leaving the Metallurg Magnitogorsk team on Saturday after it arrived for training camp in Helsinki, Finland.

    The 20-year-old Malkin, arguably the top player in the world not currently in the NHL, is believed to have flown to Canada and remained there since, with no indication he has arrived in Pittsburgh for the start of the Penguins' training camp in three weeks.

    A source close to the situation has informed ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek that Malkin will surface in the U.S. Thursday.

    Metallurg coach Dave King, the former Columbus Blue Jackets coach, told Toronto radio station CJCL the team had received a fax from Malkin resigning from the team. Russian law permits an employee -- even an athlete under contract -- to leave his job by giving two weeks' written notice.

    Described by Metallurg's general director as a "Russian treasure," Malkin has stayed out of sight since leaving the team. But his North American agents, J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson of CAA Sports, said he was safe, though they would not say where he is.

    "J.P. and I have been in constant touch with Evgeni, as we would do with any player, but especially with Evgeni," Brisson told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

    He would not speculate when Malkin might emerge.

    Malkin, who starred for Russia's Olympic team in the Torino Olympics in February, recently agreed to stay with Metallurg for one more season. His previous contract was through 2008.

    Malkin's acquaintances have suggested he was under considerable pressure and duress to agree to the deal, and it was reported in Russia the renegotiated contract wasn't completed until a 3 a.m. bargaining session.

    The NHL has not publicly stated its support for Malkin and his desire to play in the league, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league believes any player should have the right to choose where he wants to play as long as he is legally free to do so.

    Malkin isn't the only Russian player invoking the letter of resignation as a way to leave a team and play in the NHL. Draft picks Alexei Mikhnov (Edmonton Oilers) and Andrei Taratukhin (Calgary Flames) also sent such letters to the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv team of the Russian Super League this summer in ordert to join their NHL teams.

    Metallurg general director Gennady Velichkin has rebuked Malkin for leaving and is threatening to sue the Penguins if they sign him. His hardline stance is not shared by Russian national team coach Slava Bykov, who said Malkin was welcome to join the national team at any time.

    "I think you can't blame him until you know what exactly happened when he was signing the contract," Bykov told Moscow's Sport-Express Daily newspaper. "There is only one thing I can't understand with this story with Malkin. We live in a free and democratic country, and anybody could leave it at any moment."

    Malkin must agree to a contract with Pittsburgh before training camp, but the deal will likely be concluded with minimal negotiating. The NHL labor agreement established an entry-level salary of $984,200, and Malkin will sign a contract identical to that signed by Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin was the No. 1 pick in the 2004 draft, and Malkin was No. 2.

    Ovechkin's three-year deal included $850,000 in Schedule A bonuses and $2 million in Schedule B bonuses. The bonuses include those for games played, finishing in the top 10 in goals, assists and points and winning a major award such the Hart Trophy for rookie of the year. Ovechkin won that award last season.

    Source: College standout Kessel to sign with Bruins
    By E.J. Hradek

    According to a league source, University of Minnesota forward Phil Kessel has decided to forego the final three years of his college eligibility and sign a three-year contract with the Boston Bruins. The club likely will make the formal announcement on Thursday.

    Kessel will earn the entry-level max $850,000 in annual salary for the duration of the contract. He'll also be eligible for significant performance-based bonuses. For example, rookie stars Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby earned approximately $3 million in bonuses during the 2005-06 season.

    The Bruins figure Kessel will fit in nicely on the team's top two lines. In one scenario, Kessel could play left wing on a line with newly-acquired free agent center Marc Savard and veteran right wing Glen Murray.

    Last season, in 39 games as a freshman at Minnesota, Kessel scored 18 goals and dished out 33 assists for 51 points. Kessel got a chance to play against the big boys as a member of Team USA's World Championship team last spring. In seven games, he had a goal and an assist for two points.

    Kessel wowed scouts with his performance for Team USA's Under-20 team during the past two winters. In 14 career Under-20 tournament games, Kessel scored five goals and recorded 12 assists for 17 points.

    The 6-0, 190-pound Madison, WI native will turn 19 on Oct. 2.
    Ob er sich da einen Gefallen tut? Dem täte 1, wenn nicht gar 2 weitere Jahre in der WCHA ganz gut!

    Sabres re-sign goalie Ryan Miller for three years

    BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres re-signed goaltender Ryan Miller to a three-year deal Friday, the team announced. Contract terms were not disclosed.

    Miller was 30-14-3 with a 2.60 goals-against average in 48 regular-season games last season, and led the Sabres to within a game of the Stanley Cup finals with with a 2.56 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in the playoffs.

    Miller's 30 wins tied him with Henrik Lundqvist for most among rookie goalies.

    Miller won the 2001 Hobey Baker Award at Michigan State.

    Thrashers sign G Lehtonen to multi-year deal

    ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday signed goaltender Kari Lehtonen to a multiyear contract.

    Financial terms were not disclosed, but The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported it was for two years and $3.7 million.

    The second overall pick in 2002, Lehtonen had a 20-15-0 record with a 2.94 goals-against average and two shutouts in 38 games with the Thrashers last season.

    Lehtonen, 22, was sidelined for 41 games last season with a groin injury, but still was able to set a franchise record with 28 consecutive starts.

    Since making his NHL debut at the end of the 2003-04 season, Lehtonen has posted a 24-15-0 record, a 2.77 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage with three shutouts in 42 career games.

    A native of Finland, Lehtonen represented his country in the 2006 Winter Olympics, the 2002 and 2003 World Championships and the 2001 World Junior Championships.

    Prior to his NHL career, Lehtonen played for Jokerit Helsinki in the top Finnish hockey league where he won consecutive goaltender of the year awards in 2001-2002 and 2002-2003.

    With camps around the corner, my offseason lessons
    By Terry Frei

    So what have we learned in the offseason?

    • Neil Smith didn't like being part of a multitiered and crowded chain of command. He reacted to it with such revulsion, it was almost as if he had spotted 23 rats running around in the hallways of the Coliseum. But give him credit, the Islanders were undefeated during his tenure.

    • Among the skaters, Patrik Elias is the Devils' cornerstone -- and with a seven-year deal, he better be for a long time.

    • When Gary Bettman offered the arbitrators Kool-Aid, they didn't drink it. Right, Daniel Briere, J.P. Dumont, Kyle Calder and Scott Gomez?

    • Steve Yzerman can take longer than Hamlet to make up his mind. However, despite the fancy way the famous procrastinator talked, Hamlet wasn't as classy.

    • Another glance at the "Classic 39" episodes of "The Honeymooners" on DVD reminded us that Ralph Kramden infamously claimed he was the king of his castle, and then panicked and hoped Alice never found out he said that. The Ducks' Chris Pronger doesn't even pretend that he is the king of his castle.

    • Even when he has a good personal situation, Mike Keenan still can screw it up.

    • The Iron Curtain has fallen, the Soviet Union is history, and "defections" no longer are necessary. But the Penguins' Evgeni Malkin showed that cloak-and-dagger tactics are still sometimes necessary to make it to the NHL. John le Carre's next novel could be called, "Malkin's Flight."

    • John Davidson stepped out of Hockey Night in Canada's "Hot Stove" and into the fire as president of the Blues. Actually, having only one gig instead of 12 might represent a cutback in his workload.

    • Cutting its ownership stake in the Canadiens to 19.9 percent, Molson Coors is showing its interest in hockey now is Light.

    • The Flyers' Peter Forsberg still has a burning desire to play. In other words, he won't take a dive while recovering from surgery.

    • Todd Bertuzzi is getting a fresh start. Well, as fresh as it can be.

    • Judging from the play it got in the tabloids, Jose Theodore might have so many points in the Hilton Honors program, he is getting close to being able to stay for a week in Maui for free.

    • If new Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli had more hair, it would be accurate to say that Harry Sinden was getting out of it when he stepped down as team president. Presumably, though, Sinden's suits still will be coated with Teflon as he continues to serve as an adviser to owner Jeremy Jacobs.

    • The Hurricanes cast their lot with Cam Ward. The Senators liked Martin Gerber better than Dominik Hasek. The Red Wings liked the jilted Hasek and the idea of Chris Osgood as the starter better than Manny Legace, who got too much of the blame. The Lightning liked Marc Denis better than John Grahame, who went to the Hurricanes to back up Ward. And there were about seven goaltending circles along those lines.

    • Speaking of which, Marc Crawford believes that if Dan Cloutier had stayed healthy last season, they both might still be in Vancouver. Now, they're in it together in Los Angeles, where Crawford likely already has been approached 12 times for autographs and told, "I love you on 'General Hospital,' Dr. Quartermaine."

    • Michael Peca and Darcy Tucker can bury a hatchet. Or at least say all the right things about it.

    • The Penguins' survival in Pittsburgh still depends on having three "ARENA" symbols straight across on a slot machine's payline. (I'd go into detail about what that would look like, but I've never seen three like symbols on the payline of a slot machine.) But be suspicious if the song "Kansas City" ("Kansas City, Here We Come") is played at the home opener.

    • Roberto Luongo now knows that until a deal is signed, it's not worth the paper it's not printed on. And as part of that, following his trade to the Canucks, he has the opportunity to prove whether he can be as impressive for a good team as he was when under siege with a bad one.

    • The Stars' Eric Lindros still can pass a physical and his talent still tantalizes. Same with the Coyotes' Owen Nolan.

    • The Sharks didn't get an offer they liked enough for Vesa Toskala or Evgeni Nabokov. But they still would be better off trading one and making Nolan Schaefer the backup.

    • If the Wild front office was smart, Marian Gaborik's re-signing came with a caveat: LET HIM LOOSE, JACQUES!

    • The Rangers' signing of Brendan Shanahan was savvy for several reasons, even if the odometer is getting close to rolling over. If he can deliver kicks in the posterior, literally and figuratively, and lead by fiery example, that could be as important as Henrik Lundqvist showing his regular-season play wasn't a fluke.

    • Darryl Sutter was ready to be grumpy only in the front office, but he kept up the franchise tradition of fleecing the Avalanche.

    • Patrick Roy, who spent the summer basking in the glow of the Quebec Remparts' Memorial Cup victory, hasn't lost his talent to rub folks the wrong way, but that's one of the reasons he wins. And the smart money is on him becoming the Canadiens' GM someday.

    • There still is an NHL team playing in Chicago. That's the rumor, anyway.

    • Tomas Vokoun is healthy again. At least the Predators better hope so, or their season will become a lament worthy of a whining steel-guitar soundtrack.

    Let the camps begin.

    Flyers re-sign Gagne to deal reportedly worth $26.25M

    PHILADELPHIA -- The Flyers re-signed free-agent Simon Gagne to a five-year contract Monday night, ending a summer of difficult negotiations with training camp set to open Thursday.

    League sources told the Philadelphia Inquirer the deal is worth $26.25 million.

    The sources told the paper the first-line left wing agreed to the deal after general manager Bob Clarke flew to Montreal on Monday to meet with him and his agent, Bob Sauve.

    "It is very tough to believe that I am signing a pretty nice contract like that for five years and I will be with the Flyers for the next five years," Gagne said. "It is the city I love."

    Gagne, a former first-round pick, is coming off the best season of his career, scoring 47 goals and 79 points last season for Philadelphia.

    "I think it was critical to our organization to get Simon signed and to get him signed for a number of years," Clarke said. "He's one of the better two-way players in the game."

    Clarke needed only a few hours of a face-to-face meeting with Sauve to complete the deal.

    "I always wanted to get this done with Bob and, finally today, after the meeting, the three of us got it done," Gagne said. "It was pretty fun to shake the hand of Clarkie after a couple of hours of talking."

    Both Gagne and Clarke wanted an agreement before training camp opens in Voorhees, N.J., at the end of the week. Clarke went public with contract negotiations last week, a move he rarely makes with unsigned players.

    "When a player misses training camp, it is disruptive for the player and for the team," Clarke said.

    The 26-year-old left winger has 160 goals and 164 assists in 426 career games. He's scored 20 goals in five of his six seasons.

    "Simon is a very complete player," coach Ken Hitchcock said in a telephone interview. "He plays the most minutes on the team, he goes against the other team's best player, he can handle multiple positions. He does all of the other things needed to win."

    Gagne had said he wouldn't report to camp without a new contract. Clarke said the Flyers wanted to offer him a long-term deal while Gagne wanted the same amount -- reportedly $5 million -- over a shorter time frame. Because Gagne was a restricted free agent, another team could have made an offer, and the Flyers would have had the right to match.

    It had been reported by Philadelphia-area media that Gagne had turned down two offers, which Clarke said were worth "$5 million a year for four years and $5 million a year for five years," in favor of seeking a three-year deal.

    "We haven't been unfair to Simon Gagne," Clarke was quoted as saying in the Philadelphia Inquirer at the time. "The statistics and everything else back it up. We didn't just pull these numbers out of the air. We did it professionally."

    The talks appeared to hit a bump in the road following those comments. Gagne and his agent expressed displeasure at Clarke making details of the negotiations public.

    "We don't discuss numbers, but if that is what they want to do, it's their choice," Sauve told the Inquirer. "We still have some time to resolve this thing."

    Still, Clarke said he would only worry about a deal being reached if Gagne failed to show up for camp on Sept. 15. "If he doesn't sign by then, then we've got a problem," he told the newspaper.

    Problem averted.

    "I didn't want to miss training camp," Gagne said. "I was hoping in my mind I wouldn't have to do that. I was crossing my fingers."

    Fueled by the addition of star center Peter Forsberg, Gagne tied for the team lead with seven game-winning tallies and ranked sixth in the league with a plus-31 rating, to go along with new career highs in goals and points.

    With Forsberg possibly set to return from ankle surgery on opening night, the Flyers will have their two best players in the lineup as they try to win their first Stanley Cup title since 1975. The Flyers were eliminated in the first round by Buffalo last season.

    "I think the potential is there if he and Peter and [Mike] Knuble and the line stay healthy," Hitchcock said. "If the line stays healthy, it has a chance to do some serious damage."

    Gagne was the Flyers MVP last season and was tied for first with seven game-winning goals. He was second on the team in power-play goals with 12.

    "It was a long negotiation all summer," Gagne said. "I'm happy with going forward."

    DiPietro's record 15-year deal will pay him $67.5M
    Associated Press

    UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Rick DiPietro re-signed with the New York Islanders on Tuesday, agreeing to a record 15-year deal that will pay the No. 1 goalie $67.5 million.

    The Islanders scheduled an afternoon news conference to officially announce the contract that would keep DiPietro in the fold until 2022 when he would be 40.

    "We've been working at it all summer," DiPietro's agent Paul Krepelka told The Associated Press.

    The deal, first reported by Newsday, would be the longest in NHL history, topping the 10-year, $87.5 million contract the Islanders gave enigmatic center Alexei Yashin in 2001.

    That was one of the contracts that sent NHL salaries soaring and led to the salary cap in the collective bargaining agreement that ended the lockout last year. It also saddled New York with a player that is nearly impossible to move and who takes up a big chunk of the team's $44 million maximum payroll.

    DiPietro's deal is believed to be second only in length in North American sports to the 25-year pact Magic Johnson signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1981.

    "Clubs are free to make their own decisions within the confines laid out in the collective bargaining agreement and other applicable league rules," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "Some decisions turn out well, others not so well.

    "Time will tell whether this will be a good decision or a bad one for the Islanders."

    Krepelka said that both Islanders owner Charles Wang and new general manager Garth Snow, DiPietro's backup last season, were involved in the negotiations. Deals of various lengths were discussed, and once the Islanders set forth the type of cap structure they wanted for DiPietro, the staggering 15-year-deal was agreed to.

    DiPietro was a restricted free agent this summer and couldn't be unrestricted for another two years. The deal will pay him $4.5 million per season, placing him eighth among goalies.

    The top pick in the 2000 draft was 30-24-5 with a 3.02 goals-against average in 63 games last season with the Islanders, who missed the playoffs after three straight appearances.

    It is the second big contract handed out to a goalie in two days as Nashville re-signed Tomas Vokoun to a four-year extension on Monday that will pay him $22.8 million.

    Chicago's Nikolai Khabibulin will be the league's highest-paid goalie this season at $6.75 million.

    DiPietro and Wang talked about a 15-year deal last summer after the NHL lockout when DiPietro expressed that he wanted to spend his entire career on Long Island.

    But hurdles regarding insurance over the course of the contract killed those plans, and DiPietro agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.

    Those were worked out this time around.

    Both sides were pressed to come to a new agreement quickly as the Islanders open training camp at the end of the week in Nova Scotia. Wang has a policy that players who aren't signed in time for camp won't play during the season.

    "That was a concern," Krepelka said.

    DiPietro, exactly a week away from his 25th birthday, became the first goalie ever chosen with the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft five years ago, after spending just one year at Boston University.

    Wang's direct involvement in these negotiations fell into line with the owner's new front office by committee.

    It was this type of management structure that led to the firing of Neil Smith, who was let go just weeks after he took the job in the offseason and months before the Islanders were to play a game under him.

    Smith balked at the delegation of authority and the system initiated by Wang, and was replaced by Snow -- who retired from his playing career with the Islanders -- on July 18.

    NHL-Rekordvertrag für Goalie DiPietro
    New York - Die New York Islanders und Torhüter Rick DiPietro haben sich in der NHL auf einen Rekord-Vertrag geeinigt.

    Der 24-Jährige unterschrieb einen Kontrakt bis 2021, der mit insgesamt 67,5 Millionen Dollar dotiert ist. Es ist der längste Vertrag, der je in der NHL abgeschlossen wurde.
    Bisheriger Rekordhalter war sein Teamkollege Alexej Jaschin, der 2001 für zehn Jahre bei den Islanders unterschrieben hatte.
    Übertroffen wird DiPietro im nordamerikanischen Profisport einzig von der lebenden Basketball-Legende Magic Johnson, der sich 1981 gleich für 25 Jahre an die Los Angeles Lakers band.
    Mit seinem jährlichen Gehalt von 4,5 Millionen Dollar steigt DiPietro in den Kreis der bestverdienenden NHL-Goalies auf.
    Bestbezahlter Torwart ist Nikolaj Chabibulin von den Chicago Blackhawks, der jährlich 6,75 Millionen Dollar erhält.
    DiPietro war 2000 als erster Torhüter in der NHL-Geschichte als Nummer eins im Junioren-Draft gezogen worden und spielt seit sechs Jahren für die Islanders.
    Bei den Olympischen Spielen in Turin stand er im Tor der USA.

    DiPietro ist 25 Jahre, am ende des Vertrages waere er also 40 Jahre, und wuerde immernoch $4,5 Millionen pro Season kassieren! DiPietro ist ein guter Goalie, auch wenn er bisher keine soooo guten Leistungen zeigte. Und vorallem DiPietro bekommt die $67,5 Millionen egal was passiert! Nehmen wir an er verletzt sich und muss die Karriere beenden, dann bekommt er dennoch das gesamte Geld.
    Hat Islanders Eigentuemer Charles Wang den verstand verloren? Oh sorry natuerlich hat er das, Wang war der Idiot der Yashin fuer 10 Jahre unter Vertrag nahm, und jetzt einen lusstlosen Spieler hat der mit $7,6 Millionen pro Jahr der ueberbezahlteste Spieler der Liga ist. Das ist mit abstand der mieserabelste Vertrag denn ich je sah, das laesst sogar noch den Yashin Deal gut aussehen. Wer tut schon einen 25 jaehrigen unter einen 15 jaehrigen Vertrag nehmen?

    Ich meine selbst wenn DiPietro ein Spitzen Goalie wird, was bisher noch nicht abzusehen ist, fuer 15 Jahre stand noch nie ein Goalie an der Spitze, nichtmal Patrick Roy. Und DiPietro ist bis jetzt maximal ein guter Goalie. Wenn DiPietro sich nicht weiter entwickelt, dann sind die Islanders echt kaputt.

One more stupid deal from the Isles... Sorry in english.. but this is so ridiculous! Obviously they have learned nothing from the Yashin signing. WOW!

    Leafs Ink Matt Stajan
    September 14, 2006

    (TORONTO) -- John Ferguson, vice-president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Thursday that the club has signed restricted free agent forward Matt Stajan to a two- year contract. In keeping with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

    Stajan, 23, played 80 games in his second full season with the Maple Leafs collecting 27 points (15 goals, 12 assists) with 50 penalty minutes.

    The native of Mississauga, Ontario was third on the team with 66 points (23 goals, 43 assists) and 43 penalty minutes in 80 games for the St. John’s Maple Leafs of the American Hockey League during the 2004-05 season. He was Toronto’s second choice, 57th overall in the 2002 Entry Draft.

    CHICAGO -- NHL players will be allowed to use stick blades that are curved three-quarters of an inch -- a quarter-inch more than last season -- under a series of minor rules changes approved Thursday by the league's board of governors.

    During regulation time or overtime but not shootouts, a player found to have a stick curved in excess of three-quarters of an inch will be assessed a minor penalty and a $200 fine for the first offense. A second offense in the same season will be accompanied by a minor penalty, plus a fine of $1,000. A third offense will result in a game misconduct penalty and an automatic one-game suspension. The suspension will double in length for any subsequent violation.

    During shootouts, an opposing team may request the measurement of a shooter's stick prior to the shooter's attempt. If the stick is found to be legal, the complaining team will forfeit its next shootout attempt and the player listed for the challenging club's next attempt will not be permitted to participate until all other eligible players have participated. The team will be fined $5,000 and the coach will be fined $1,000. If the stick is illegal, the offending player will become ineligible to participate in the shootout and the club will forfeit that shootout attempt. The team will be fined $5,000 and the player will be fined $1,000.

    The board also approved enhanced measures against diving and embellishment of actions in the attempt to draw a penalty. The first such infraction will result in a warning letter being sent to the player. A second infraction will be accompanied by a $1,000 fine. A third infraction will result in a telephone hearing with the Director of Hockey Operations and a possible one-game suspension. The length of the suspension will double for any subsequent violation.

    The board also approved a rule change that will give the home team the choice of shooting first or second in a shootout.

    Russian court bans Malkin from playing in NHL
    Reuters

    MOSCOW -- A Russian arbitration tribunal issued a court order on Friday prohibiting prized rookie Evgeni Malkin from playing in the National Hockey League.

    Malkin signed a three-year deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins worth at least $3 million this month after leaving his club Metallurg Magnitogorsk last month to pursue a hockey career in the NHL.

    The tribunal ruled that the 20-year-old, who had signed a new one-year contract with his Russian club just days before fleeing to the United States, cannot play anywhere except in Magnitogorsk.

    Metallurg have said they will seek compensation of at least $2 million for Malkin from Pittsburgh.

    "Metallurg has several options," American lawyer Alexander Berkovich, representing Magnitogorsk, told Reuters by telephone from New York.

    "The first option is to seek enforcement of the Russian arbitration award in a U.S. court. This is pursuant to the [1958] treaty for the enforcement of tribunal awards to which both the U.S. and Russia are signatories.

    "Other options for Magnitogorsk include filing a lawsuit against the NHL and the Pittsburgh Penguins in a U.S. court."

    Malkin's defection has sparked a bitter conflict between Russian hockey officials and their North American counterparts.

    "This is pure sports terrorism," said Metallurg general director Gennady Velichkin after accusing the NHL of stealing Russia's best players.

    The NHL said it would not negotiate compensation packages with any Russian club after the Russians refused to sign a transfer agreement with the North American league.

    Russia remains the only major hockey power not to join the deal, approved by the International Ice Hockey Federation in 2005. Under the agreement Metallurg would have received a basic $200,000 fee for Malkin.
