Forget the Souray to San Jose Rumours

As reported per TSN, Rob Blake has resigned in San Jose. This still leaves the Souray to LA rumours in the balance, but three things must be considered:

a) does Souray want to leave Edmonton?
b) would Souray waive his NMC to go to LA?
c) does Edmonton even want to move Souray?

Ty Conklin Should Sign in Boston

I believe I heard somewhere that Boston will get the next outdoor game. Manny Fernandez is on his way out of town so... backup Conklin? He made 750K last season and should probably command around 1.2 million or 2 million max - half of what Fernandez made last season.

Ty Conklin

Ty Conklin is poised to become the answer to the mind-boggling, skill-testing, gut-wrenching, cold-sweat-inducing trivia question

Who is the NHL goalie that started in the first 3 NHL outdoor games?

How does that happen exactly? But whatever the reason may be, Ty Conklin has had himself quite the interesting journeyman career and it would appear that we missed the boat on him, like I've been saying since 2001-2002 and now I bet Craig MacTavish wishes he hadn't picked Mike Morrison over him.

And yeah, there's a famous incident involving Jason Smith and Rod Brind'amour - but we won't go there.
