Hockey Trade Rumors

Two days after forward Marty Erat confirmed he’s asked the Capitals to trade him, the agent for defenseman Dmitry Orlov said he has asked general manager George McPhee to trade the 22-year-old blue liner.

“Obviously, what Dmitry would like is to be traded,” agent Mark Gandler told CSNWashington.com Wednesday, “because he has no future in Washington whatsoever, zero chance for him.

If the Edmonton Oilers and the New York Rangers are talking trade, it’s unlikely the Broadway Blueshirts would surrender left-winger Chris Kreider unless Nail Yakupov is in play.

A source close to the Rangers said the six-foot-three, 230-pound Kreider, a playoff star out of Boston College in 2012 but a disappointment last season under John Tortorella, might be the best Rangers forward right now.

Red Wings will need to trim one more player.

Jordin Tootoo appears to be the most susceptible.

Ilya Bryzgalov’s camp tryout with the Las Vegas Wranglers is over and now he continues to wait for an NHL opportunity.

Not surprisingly, these teams are languishing in the early-season standings. That, combined with the increased competition for playoff spots given the NHL’s realignment, has amped up discussion about alternatives and, most specifically, how the dominoes might fall vis-à-vis a couple of high-profile netminders — Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres and erstwhile free agent netminder Ilya Bryzgalov.

Let us be honest when we play online at the offical Euro Casino, the Europa Casino, we want to win. Yes, it is incredibly entertaining and there are not many things more fun than playing at the casino tables, but in our hearts we want to win – and we want to win big. Here are three tips how you can do just that.

Working on confirming or debunking, but, word in Philly is Bryzgalov is about to sign an East Coast Hockey League contract in Las Vegas.
