Roloson to Edmonton, other news and rumours

Well the Oilers pulled the trigger and added another backup goalie to their mix:

to Min: 1st round pick, conditional 3rd if Roloson resigns in Edmonton

Mariusz Czerkawski off to Boston, which suggests a winger out of Boston may be moved soon. Be on the lookout for Samsonov to the Oilers later today or tommorrow.

Mike Morisson placed on waivers by the Oilers. Don't count on him being picked up, he'll play the rest of the year in the minors. Conklin will be backup to Roloson and Markannen is out the door. I would expect to be involved in a minor deal for a 5th or 6th round pick. Possibly NYI, or in a package that would see Parrish off to Edmonton.

Belfour is willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Canucks. Whether they want him is another question, I wouldn't expect they would.

Biron and Noronen will more than likely stay put in Buffalo, much to the chagrin of Noronen. But Regier is asking far too much, and nobody is willing to pay. Buffalo fans should be livid.

Stay tuned for more action as the next 22 hours unfold.
