CAR/PHI- According to the Raleigh News and Observer, the Carolina Hurricanes are waiting on one of their player's decision on whether or not he will waive his no-trade clause. The no.1 consensus is that this player is defenseman Niclas Wallin. The aforementioned trade would send him to Philadelphia for Flyers' defenseman Joni Pitkanen. The Pensylvanian club is keen on getting rid of the young d-man's salary, in an effort to free up more cap space to sign a prominent no.1 center.
MIN- Per the Star Tribune, the Minnesota Wild have chosen to-resign forward Wes Walz over Todd White and defenseman Martin Skoula. All three are set to hit the market on July 1st.
VAN- According to The Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Canucks will place center Marc Chouinard on waivers, in an effort to buy him out. He is/was set to earn US$1.1 million this season. Vancouver, per the Vancouver Province, will not play the "free-agency game" this offseason, as they currently have 14 players under contract for an estimated sum of US$41 million. They currently possess 13 unrestricted free-agents.

Pitkanen for Wallin is ridiculous.
Pitkanen is making $2 million while Wallin is making $1.75 million, and this deal is supposed to free cap space for the Flyers.
Pfffft, what are they saving? a quarter of a million?
Wow.
