Edit: Might as well get some of this up.
Rob Schremp also signed his QO, the Islanders announced, which means they’re done with their Group IIs, at least pending Moulson’s arbitration hearing.
With a big hat tip to Station Nation, it’s apparent that goalie Marc-Antoine Gelinas is at least going to be here for AHL camp. They note that Gelinas’ former team, Saint John (QMJHL), has him signed with Odessa, which his representation also says; though there’s a report that Bridgeport signed him, if they did, it might be for Odessa, like Juha Toivonen last year. Though if he is here, that means Bridgeport will have two of the Q’s top four goalies of 2009-10, according to Goalies’ World. This is probably the most work we’ve ever done on a training-camp invite in July. No, definitely: Gordie Dwyer broke in August.
And while Columbus apparently isn’t averse to keeping Rob Daum in Springfield, his old organization has a coach for Oklahoma City:
| TEAM | Old | New |
| SYR* | Ross Yates (4/12) | Mark Holick (5/21) |
| HOU | Kevin Constantine (4/15) | Mike Yeo (6/16) |
| PEO | Rick Wamsley (5/6) | Jared Bednar (6/15) |
| ROC | Benoit Groulx (5/31) | — |
| MTB | Scott Arniel (6/8, CLB head coach) | Claude Noel (6/21) |
| HAM | Guy Boucher (6/10, TB head coach) | — |
| LOW/ALB | John MacLean (6/17, NJ head coach) | — |
| BIN | Don Nachbaur (6/22) | — |
| OKC | — | Todd Nelson (7/15) |
*-Syracuse’s new coach was hired by Anaheim. Springfield’s new coach will be hired by Columbus and will be added to the list if it isn’t Rob Daum. Jeff Daniels moves with the franchise from Albany to Charlotte.
Edit2: Steve Valiquette back to Russia, CSKA Moscow. And apparently (fun with Google Translate) the Red Army’s misinformation campaign is back in Cold War form, because the release as translated says he “in March 2004 did not become part of a large exchange between Oilers and New York Rangers.” Two-year deal.
…….
I enjoy looking at the sports transactions and seeing at least 10 teams signing players.. so jealous….
