| Sharks say Niemi was too good to pass up (SportingNews.com) |
| It was early August when the Chicago Blackhawks declined to pay Antti Niemi the $2.75 million he was awarded in arbitration. He became an unrestricted free agent, one month after other free-agent goalies had begun their search for starting jobs. Or as his agent put it, it was like selling a big-screen television the day after the Super Bowl. Not the best timing. “But at the same time, he’s a pretty good player,” Niemi’s agent Bill Zito told Sporting News. |

| NHL finally approves deal between Kovalchuk, Devils (SportingNews.com) |
| It will be the last contract of its kind for the foreseeable future. The NHL made sure of that. But right now, New Jersey Devils fans don't care about the long-term implications. The big news is that Ilya Kovalchuk is signed to a 15-year deal worth $100 million. It's official. It's approved. In all likelihood, he'll retire a member of the Devils. "He's one of the most dynamic players in the league," said Devils goalie Johan Hedberg, who spent four seasons with Kovalchuk in Atlanta. |

| Bruins GM assures Marc Savard he won't be traded (SportingNews.com) |
| Apparently unsatisfied with the offers he received for Marc Savard, Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli on Friday said he won't be trading the high-priced center. "We told Marc we are not moving him and he is part of the organization," Chiarelli told ESPNBoston.com. Chiarelli acknowledged fielding proposals for Savard, who is one of the league's top playmakers. Chiarelli broke from his usual policy of not discussing trade rumors, saying he was addressing the Savard talk because it became public. |

| Suit threatened if Marc Savard contract is voided (SportingNews.com) |
| 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. |

| Blackhawks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) |
| Training camp is right around the corner for all NHL teams. For the Blackhawks, that means their defense of their first Stanley Cup in 49 years will officially begin.
And as everyone in the hockey world knows by now, many of those players handling that defense are new. For the Hawks, training camp really means adjusting after the salary-cap departures of Dustin Byfuglien, Kris Versteeg, Andrew Ladd, Brent Sopel, Colin Fraser, Ben Eager, Adam Burish and John Madden left holes in their once formidable lineup.
There will be growing pains for sure as new players try to find their roles. But there should also be excitement among the players as many of them try to prove they belong on a championship roster. "We just have to get everybody on board," Hawks captain Jonathan... |

| Sharks sign G Antti Niemi to 1-year deal (AP) |
| The San Jose Sharks signed the goalie who helped knock them out of the playoffs, agreeing to a one-year, $2 million deal with Antti Niemi on Thursday. Niemi joins fellow Finnish netminder Antero Niittymaki in San Jose as the replacements for longtime starter Evgeni Nabokov. Niittymaki signed a two-year, $4 million deal on the first day of free agency in July. |

| Khabibulin can attend training camp despite jail sentence (SportingNews.com) |
| Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin can attend training camp despite a 30-day jail sentence for drunk driving, Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini said Tuesday. A Scottsdale, Ariz., jundge ordered Khabibulin to serve the time, pay a $5,100 fine and enroll in an alcohol treatment program. Had Khabibulin and his attorneys not decided to appeal the decision, the 37-year-old former star would have started his sentence on Saturday. That, according to Tambellini, is not the case. |

| Predators pad defense corps with Aaron Johnson (SportingNews.com) |
| At 27, defenseman Aaron Johnson has been around the block a few times in the NHL. His latest career turn came Tuesday, when he signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Nashville Predators. The accord, the Nashville Tennessean reports, will pay him $550,000 for NHL time and $105,000 for the Predators' AHL Milwaukee affiliate. Johnson was an unrestricted free agent and should provide veteran depth to the Predators. The team has yet to come to terms with defenseman Cody Franson, a restricted free agent who had six goals and 15 assists in 61 games during his... |

| Chelios finally hangs 'em up after 26 NHL seasons (AP) |
| Chris Chelios, the longest-tenured defenseman in NHL history, is finally hanging up his skates. After 26 NHL seasons and three Stanley Cups, Chelios announced his retirement Tuesday at the age of 48. "I guess I've been dreading this day for a long time," he said at a news conference in Detroit. |

| Oilers' Sam Gagner re-signs; likely Taylor Hall linemate (SportingNews.com) |
| With money to spend and prized prospect Taylor Hall in need of developing playmates, the Edmonton Oilers re-signed Sam Gagner on Monday. The toll: two years at $4.55 million. The goal: for Gagner, it's becoming the team's No. 1 center. The Oilers enter training camp with Gagner battling Shawn Horcoff for the job. It's more likely he will secure a chance to set up Hall, No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft, on the second line. "Obviously, I have a lot to learn to be a first-line center, but I want to be a guy who's looked upon to play in all... |
