Darryl Sutter To Step Down

Darryl Sutter will step down as head coach of the Flames tomorrow, Jim Playfair will take over. Sutter will still be the teams GM, while Wayne Flemming will replace Playfair as an assistant coach.

For those who missed it, Luke Richardson signed a one year deal with Tampa Bay today worth $500,000.

I'm hearing the Oilers are deep in talks with Danny Markov

The 2006-2007 schedule will be released tomorrow, and will take on the same format it did last year, with the exception of the outer-conference games switching divisions.

And how about Forsberg, who was suppose to be out until January, announcing today that he may be good to start the season. Thats good news for the Flyers, and even better news for Gagne, who plays at his best when paired with Forsberg. Maybe the Flyers will be more inclined to give him the big bucks he's after.
