Chicago Blackhawks Suit threatened if Marc Savard contract is voided (SportingNews.com) Yahoo! Sports - NHL - Chicago Blackhawks News 2010-09-03 3:41:00 Boston Bruins center Marc Savard has had enough with speculation over whether the NHL might void his seven-year, $28 million contract. His agent, Larry Kelly, on Thursday threatened to sue the league if the deal is rejected. Savard signed his extension last season, at which time the league OK'd it. Now, following fallout from Ilya Kovalchuk's contracts with the New Jersey Devils, the league is poking into several long-term deals to see if they, too, violate terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Detroit Red Wings Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall reacts well to surgery Red Wings RSS from The Detroit News 2010-09-03 2:00:00 Kronwall is already walking around the locker room without crutches, just 48 hours after arthroscopic surgery on his troublesome knee. But when he sat with legs up on the training table Thursday, Ken Holland and Jim Nill gathered around. Detroit Red Wings Colorado Avalanche sign forward Chris Stewart to two-year contract ESPN.com - NHL 2010-09-02 21:36:41 The Avalanche remain committed to their youth movement, signing forward Chris Stewart to a two-year deal. Florida Panthers Avalanche sign F Chris Stewart to 2-year deal MiamiHerald.com: Hockey 2010-09-02 21:36:00 The Colorado Avalanche remain committed to their youth movement, signing forward Chris Stewart to a two-year deal. Florida Panthers Avalanche sign Stewart for two years MiamiHerald.com: Hockey 2010-09-02 20:08:00 The Colorado Avalanche signed restricted free- agent forward Chris Stewart to a two-year deal on Thursday. New Jersey Devils D-day arrives again for NHL, Ilya Kovalchuk (SportingNews.com) Yahoo! Sports - NHL - New Jersey Devils News 2010-09-02 19:54:00 A decision will finally be made on Ilya Kovalchuk's latest contract. Maybe. The league and the NHLPA agreed on a 5 p.m. ET Friday deadline, one that is fast approaching, and one that will reveal whether the league will approve the 15-year, $100 million contract the New Jersey Devils have submitted. That is unless, of course, another extension is granted. And that appears to be a possibility as the sides work to negotiate parameters in which long-term contracts will be approved moving forward. Detroit Red Wings Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard returns with Doctor Octopus on his mind Red Wings RSS from The Detroit News 2010-09-02 19:52:00 Howard replaced the purple octopus and clock on his helmet, the hands of which pointed to the numbers the Red Wings have retired, with the image of Marvel Comics supervillain Doctor Octopus, aka "Doc Ock."

Don Visco’s AL Blog – Crucial Sports

• The One Thing: 5/17
  The One Thing I am trying to do at this point of the season is BUY LOW and SELL HIGH.  I am really keen on getting Gavin Floyd, but no one is budging.  “Buy Low” does not mean “act stupid” so I will only buy into Floyd at a discount.  I’d really like to get [...] […]

• The One Thing: 5/10
  Just a reminder:  this AL Blog is most useful during late February, March and early April.  At that time I look at playing time battles and keep up-to-date with spring stats.    I post “Spring Roto Questions” which inform roster decisions later that month (during the draft) and in the early portion of the season. Once we [...] […]

• The One Thing: 5/7
  The One Thing we learned today is that despite David Huff’s stats getting officially erased from his outing tonight due to rain, Manny Acta does not have access to a neuralyzer.  In Lost-speak, whatever happened, happened.  Huff’s last three outings (including tonight) have been abysmal and the start before that he gave up six walks. Who [...] […]

• The One Thing: 5/6
  The One Thing we learned today is that timing is everything.  Koji Uehara came back from the DL today and pitched the 8th inning, setting up Alfredo Simon.  I think Dave Trembley was always intrigued during the off-season in Uehara as a late-inning reliever, but he won’t have him close…yet.  If this was last week [...] […]

• The One Thing: 5/4
  The One Thing “was on a break” (as Ross would say) for the past few days, but is back now.  In KC, we learned that Mitch Maier (pictured) will see regular at bats now that Ankiel is on the DL.  Maier played in obscurity last year yet led the KC outfield in games played.  He [...] […]

  There was a mostly-full slate of games Thursday, with all but six teams playing.

  The three-day weekend is over, and it’s back to work for the majority of Americans.

  Happy Memorial Day, and for those of you that either have served or have loved ones that served, thank you. Here are today’s notes from around the horn… We start things off today with Ricky Romero’s masterful performance Sunday against the Orioles. Romero did get in trouble early with leadoff batter Corey Patterson getting a hit, followed [...] […]

  I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend so far, and here are Sunday’s notes from around the league.
