- Briere is expected to be bought out by the Flyers after the Stanley Cup finals, Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: While Briere appears to be in line to be a compliance amnesty buyout (the new CBA allows for two) by the Flyers, the status of goalie Ilya Bryzgalov evidently remains up in the air on that front.

- Kane will be put back together with Jonathan Toews on the same line Wednesday night in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, CBS Sports reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is going back to the well again like he did in the previous series against the Kings in the Western Conference finals. Bryan Bickell will again be added to Kane and Toews line. In the final two games of the Western Conference finals, Kane registered four goals. "They exited the Los Angeles series on a high note," Quenneville said Wednesday. "Hopefully getting back together they can continue that."

- Toews will be put back together with Patrick Kane on the same line Wednesday night in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, CBS Sports reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is going back to the well again like he did in the previous series against the Kings in the Western Conference finals. Bryan Bickell will again be added to Kane and Toews line. In the final two games of the Western Conference finals, Kane registered four goals while Toews added a pair of assists. "They exited the Los Angeles series on a high note," Quenneville said Wednesday. "Hopefully getting back together they can continue that."

- Ullstrom has signed to play in the KHL, according to Islanders Point Blank.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Ullstrom had five points in 20 games for the Islanders this past season and while the numbers are far from great, he was also benched many times in favor of someone like Marty Reasoner who had no future with the team. It's something of a shame that the Isles lost a player as young as Ullstrom without knowing what they really had, but the Isles are also loaded with young talent ready to come up from the AHL and Ullstrom may have realized that making the squad out of training camp was going to be an uphill battle.

- The Red Wings hope Helm can start skating again in July, the Detroit Free Press reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Helm's back injury has been a bit of a mystery as he would feel better, start skating, then have another setback. After not playing for months, Detroit hopes the rest will get back the speedy center back to solid health.

- Hossa (upper body) is in the lineup for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Boston Globe reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Hossa's pregame session was rather light, but since his body is likely feeling less than 100 percent, the Blackhawks didn't want to take any chances on any sort of aggravation of the injury. He'll be joining Patrick Sharp and Michal Handzus on the Blackhawks' second line.
Tue, Jun 18
- Datsyuk has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Red Wings, the Detroit News reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Datsyuk has a year left on his current contract, so Tuesday's deal ensures that he will remain with Detroit for the next four years. Datsyuk finished up this past season as the Red Wings' top scorer, with 49 points in 47 games to go along with a team-high plus-21 mark.

- Paille scored for the second straight contest in Monday's 2-0 win over the Blackhawks in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: For most of the season the Bruins struggled to find consistent third line production, but the Paille/Tyler Seguin/Chris Kelly trio formed in Game 2 of the team's current series has flourished at an ideal juncture and been instrumental in the Bruins taking a 2-1 lead in the finals.
Tue, Jun 18
- Scandella, a restricted free agent, signed a two-year deal worth $2.05 million to remain with the Wild, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Scandella will require waivers next season if he's not on the NHL roster, so this contract likely ensures he'll begin next season in Minnesota.
Tue, Jun 18
- Bergeron went 24-of-28 (86 percent) on faceoffs in Monday's 2-0 Game 3 win over the Blackhawks, ESPN.com reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Bergeron, who also scored his seventh goal of the playoffs in the game, now has 13 points in 19 postseason games overall. That ties him for fourth among the B's in playoff scoring, and Bergeron's outstanding two-way play continues to be crucial to the team's success.
Tue, Jun 18
- Bernier is a candidate to be traded this offseason, Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The report suggests that the Leafs and Flyers are the front-runners to obtain Bernier. Assuming he does get traded, Bernier's fantasy value would be in line for a boost, as he's been stuck serving as Jonathan Quick's primary backup for the last three seasons.
Tue, Jun 18
- Voynov has signed a six-year deal with the Kings that is reportedly worth $25 million, ESPN.com reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The 23-year-old, who notched 25 points in 48 regular season contests, picked up the pace in the playoffs, finishing with six goals and 13 points in 18 games, currently second among blueliners this postseason to Pittsburgh's Kris Letang.

- The Islanders are one of several teams interested in acquiring King goaltender Jonathan Bernier, according to Newsday. If that's the case, Niederreiter is likely to be among the trade chips sent to Los Angeles.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: El Nino and the Islanders' brass seem to be better off parting ways, and this could be just the way to do it, benefiting both the Isles (who need a long-term goalie) and Niederreiter (who needs a new organization).
Tue, Jun 18
- Rask stopped all 28 shots he faced in Monday's 2-0 win over the Blackhawks in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The shutout was Rask's third of the postseason, with the effort lifting his save percentage to a playoff-best .946 and lowering his GAA to spiffy 1.64. Should the Bruins -- who are up 2-1 over the Hawks at present -- prevail in the series, Rask would be a Conn Smythe Trophy frontrunner.
