David Poile sums up Predators' pre-draft trades
Nashville Predators president of hockey operations and general manager David Poile was busy today completing two important trades just days before the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
First, he sent Dan Hamhuis to the Philadelphia Flyers and re-acquired Ryan Parent in return. Then he would ship team captain Jason Arnott to the New Jersey Devils for Matt Halischuk. Nashville received two 2011 draft picks as a result of the two deals.
Predators radio play-by-play announcer Tom Callahan spoke with Poile to provide some insight as to why he made the trades.

Jason Arnott returns to Devils
First it was Bobby Holik before he retired. Then it was Brian Rolston who has come back. Now it is Jason Arnott.

New Jersey Devils president, chief executive officer and general manager Lou Lamoriello brought back one of the team's past Stanley Cup heroes in a trade with the Nashville Predators this afternoon.
The Devils sent forward Matt Halischuk and a 2011 second round draft pick to the Predators. Arnott was Nashville's captain last season.
As the player who scored the championship winning goal in the 2000 Stanley Cup Finals against the Dallas Stars, Arnott returns to New Jersey at age 35. He put up just modest statistics in a Predators uniform for the 2009-2010 campaign, tallying 19 goals and 27 assists for 46 points in 63 games.
Arnott has career milestones within reach. Entering this fall, he has 383 goals and 490 assists for 873 points in 1,099 games. He also has recorded 1,176 penalty minutes in 16 National Hockey League seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, Devils, Stars and Predators. After his next three goals are scored, he would have 100 regular season tallies in a Devils uniform.
Will he provide a boost to the Devils up front? Remember when Arnott was a force when Patrik Elias and Petr Sykora were his linemates during that championship run?
"Jason Arnott is a player who brings size, strength and experience to our hockey club," Lamoriello said in the team's official news release. "There is no question he strengthens our center ice position."
Sykora may be long gone, but Arnott could team up with Elias again to rekindle some magic they had on the ice. Believe it or not, that was 10 years ago. Regardless of whether or not they'll be paired together again, Arnott will be called upon to produce for former teammate John MacLean, the Devils new head coach.

Flyers acquire rights to Dan Hamhuis
In preparation to re-tool their roster with the 2010 NHL Entry Draft less than a week away, the Philadelphia Flyers swapped defensemen with Nashville Predators. They acquired the rights to pending free agent Dan Hamhuis for Ryan Parent.
Philadelphia also received a 2011 conditional draft pick from Nashville in the trade.
The Flyers have until July 1st to sign Hamhuis to a contract, otherwise he will hit the market as an unrestricted free agent.
"Our intention is to get him signed prior to [July 1], and that is what our aim is at this point in time," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said in the team's official news release. "The sooner that we get going on trying to get this done, the better."
Hamhuis has been a solid defenseman in his six National Hockey League seasons, all with the Predators. In 483 games, he accumulated 161 points (32 goals and 129 assists) in that span. Holmgren does like the potential of Hamhuis strengthening what is already regarded as one of the top defense corps in the league.
"Dan Hamhuis is a good all-around defenseman," Holmgren said. "He's a guy who can play lots of minutes and he can play in a lot of different situations, from power play to killing penalties. He is another athlete we'd like to add to our team to continue to improve our defense."
Meantime, Parent was the opposite when it came to his overall health. He was a disappointment in 102 games over four seasons with the Flyers. Injuries sidelined him for stretches at a time and never gained a permanent spot in the lineup. Ironically, Parent heads back to the team that drafted him. The 2005 #18 overall draft pick was sent along with Scott Hartnell to Philadelphia in the Peter Forsberg trade on February 15, 2007. Parent has just 1 goal and 6 assists with 36 penalty minutes so far in his young career.
In the event the Flyers sign Hamhuis, don't be surprised if they have to pay him in upwards of at least $5 million per season.

Daniel Briere injures arm in Binghamton car accident
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports this afternoon that Philadelphia Flyers forward Daniel Briere injured an arm as a result of a motor vehicle accident in Binghamton, New York.
Tim Panaccio of Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia (CSNPhilly.com) stated on his Twitter feed that Briere and his son's injures were not serious.
Check out the breaking news article from Sam Wood for more details:
Flyers forward Danny Briere escaped serious injury this morning when his SUV collided with a tractor-trailer near Binghamton, New York, police said.
Briere and his 9-year-old son Cameron were headed north on I-81 about 12:30 a.m. just north of the Pennsylvania state line.
Briere, driving a 2010 Land Rover, was passing a tractor-trailer when he became drowsy and drifted into the right-hand lane and sideswiped the big rig, said Sgt. Steven Barlow, spokesman for the New York State Police.

The Penguins' new home, CONSOL Energy Center, will first host seven concerts in August and September, including a pair of sold out dates by legendary musician and former Beatle Paul McCartney on August 18-19.
The Red Wings will play a part in the arena's first sporting event when they play the Penguins on September 22 at 7:00 PM EDT.
The Pens announced their 2010-2011 pre-season schedule on Wednesday.
Perhaps a strange coincidence is the odd number of the seating capacity for the new CONSOL Energy Center, which is posted on the arena's website as 18,087. Pens captain Sidney Crosby wears #87.
Either way, the Penguins have added 1,147 seats over capacity of their old home, Mellon Arena, which used to seat 16,940 fans.
The Red Wings will host the Pens in a pre-season game on October 3rd at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings' 2010 preseason schedule is as follows:
(game start times are in Eastern Time)
September 22 - at Pittsburgh, 7:00 PM
September 24 - vs. Chicago, 7:00 PM
September 25 - at Chicago, 8:00 PM

Devils name John MacLean as new head coach
If you are on Twitter or have been reading any media news feeds, then you know by now that the New Jersey Devils have decided on a new head coach. He is a familiar name.
When he addresses the media at the Prudential Center this afternoon, John MacLean officially gets his first chance to run a National Hockey League coaching staff.
Their official news release is already posted. Here are the first three paragraphs:
The Devils have scheduled a 2:00 p.m. press conference to announce John MacLean as their new head coach.
MacLean, 45, takes over behind the Devils' bench after serving one season as the head coach of their American Hockey League affiliate in Lowell. He guided the AHL Devils to a franchise best mark of 39-31-4-6 in 2009-2010, including their only playoff appearance in four seasons.
He replaces Jacques Lemaire, who retired after one season in his second stint as Devils head coach.
MacLean has spent the last eight seasons as a member of the Devils' coaching staff with the last seven as an assistant coach. He played 14 of his 19 seasons in New Jersey with two stops late in his career with the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars. He ranks #1 on the Devils' all-time goal scoring list with 347 during his playing career.
Interestingly enough, he will potentially end up coaching five former teammates who are still active NHL players. They are Martin Brodeur, Patrick Elias, Jay Pandolfo and Brian Rolston from New Jersey and Jamie Langenbrunner while in Dallas.

Wild re-sign James Sheppard to 1-year, $803,250 deal
According to Minnesota Wild beat writer Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, James Sheppard accepted the team's qualifying offer and re-signed with the Wild for next season with a $803,250 base salary.
Russo originally reported it at $841,500, but later made the correction. See the information from his revised article:
James Sheppard got a head start on accepting his qualifying offer just like the Wild got a head start on tendering them to its resticted free agents. Sheppard's agreed to a one-year deal worth $803,250 (corrected; had to correct because he got a 5 percent mandated raise since his prior year salary was over 660K and under a $1 million. Originally thought it was a mandatory 10 percent bump).
According to the Wild's news release, Minnesota also made qualifying offers to:
Guillaume Latendresse
Josh Harding
Anton Khudobin
Nate Prosser
Matt Kassian
