Thornton's On The Open Market!

Scott Thornton that is. As Hockeyleaks.com reported earlier today, the Sharks did not pick up Scott's option for next season, which will make him a free agent on July 1st. He should not have a problem finding a home.

McCabe is returning to Toronto next year, and the Leafs hope to announce the deal by the end of next week. The deal is still a 5 year / 28.75 million. This should squash the Lidstrom to Toronto rumours that are very inaccurate.

Luongo isn't coming to Toronto either. Rumours today had him and Roberts going to Toronto for Harrison, Pogge, Suglobov and a draft pick. Not happening! The Kings rumour, however, isn't far off. If I'm Keenan, I'd take Frolov, Garon and Brown for Luongo, as these three guys are guys you can build around. Frolov would look very nice beside Jokinen, don't you think?

I can confirm I will be back on Blueline on July 30th, for a full Free Agent Preview! You will be able to download that from our site, as well as Bluelines site, starting the 30th! We now have a downloads section on the main page of Hockeyleaks.com, and we'd love for you all to submit desktop backgrounds! Anyone who wants to make a Hockeyleaks.com desktop background, I will be forever in your debt! Cjohnson202@hockeyleaks.com is where you can email those! Also, don't forget to register for the new site (hockeyleaks.com), as you will be able to submit your own stories and links!
