Islanders put G Rick DiPietro on waivers

New York Islanders waive G Rick DiPietro.

This could be end of the DiPietro's injury-filled Isles career that appeared doomed from the moment he signed that 15-year contract. The Islanders plan to recall Kevin Poulin from Bridgeport once DiPietro clears waivers. DiPietro will then be assigned to the club's AHL affiliate and the Islanders will have roughly $9 million in cap space committed to a pair of goaltenders not playing in the NHL.

Stars acquire Marc Methot from Vegas

Vegas has traded Marc Methot to the Dallas Stars in exchange for the rights to prospect Dylan Ferguson and a second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

Methot was picked up by the Golden Knights in the expansion draft, but it was expected that he would be flipped for future assets. The former Ottawa defender should help bring some stability to a young Stars defense corps.

Joe Thornton's representatives have reportedly heard from 12 teams so far as free agency approaches.

Stars will use a buyout on Antti Niemi

Antti Niemi will be bought out by the Dallas Stars.

Dallas will place him on waivers for a buyout. Niemi has one more year left on his current contract and the Stars will be charged with a $1.5 million cap hit for the next two seasons. He struggled during his time with Dallas and was never able to seize control of the starting role from Kari Lehtonen, who wasn't very good either. It was expected that Niemi would be bought out after the Stars added Ben Bishop in the off-season.

Carolina inks Derek Ryan to one-year deal

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed Derek Ryan to a one-year/$1.425 million contract.

Ryan only received $600,000 from the Hurricanes last season so he got a nice raise. The Bill Masterton Memorial Finalist had 11 goals and 29 points in 67 games last season. He should be a 30-35 point center this season.

Report: NYR will hire Lindy Ruff as assistant

The New York Rangers will reportedly hire Lindy Ruff as an assistant coach.

The New York Post's Larry Brooks points out that the deal is not done, but it will be. Ruff spent the last four years as the head coach of the Dallas Stars and he held the same role with the Buffalo Sabres for 15 years. Ruff will be in charge of handling the Rangers' defense. Jeff Beaukeboom, who coached the defense last year, will join New York's scouting staff.

CGY acquires Travis Hamonic from NYI

The Calgary Flames have acquired Travis Hamonic and a conditional fourth-round pick from the New York Islanders.

The Islanders have received a first-round pick in 2018, a second-round pick in 2018 and another conditional second-round pick in 2019 or 2020. It's an interesting fit for Hamonic, as the Flames already have a loaded blue line with guys like Mark Giordano, Dougie Hamilton and T.J. Brodie. Hamonic, 26, had three goals and 11 assists in 49 games in 2016-17. Hamonic has three years remaining on his contract at a reasonable cap hit of $3.857 million. The Flames have put together one of the best blue lines in the league.

Avs make Conor Timmins first pick of 2nd rd

The Colorado Avalanche selected Conor Timmins with the first pick in the second round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

The Avalanche clearly believe their defense needed some work, as they drafted Cale Makar fourth overall before taking Timmins on Saturday. Timmins, 18, missed being part of the 2016 draft by just three days. Timmins is a slick, puck-moving defenseman that has been with the OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for the last two seasons. In his first campaign in the junior ranks, he picked up just 13 points in 60 contests, but last season he made an impressive leap. Timmins’ 61 points in 67 games helped vault him into a top prospect in the 2017 draft. Scouts are impressed by his strong shot and solid skating ability. The knock on him is that he tends to get himself into some trouble with turnovers at inopportune times.

Nolan Patrick aims for spot on the Flyers

Nolan Patrick was not upset about going No. 2 overall and he thought he would heading to the Flyers.

"I kind of had a feeling I was going to end up in Philly, and I'm real excited about the chance to go there," said Patrick. "It's a special day for me and my family." He feels he didn't play at all like himself in 2016-17 and is confident that a good summer will get him back to performing at 100 percent. Patrick's size and maturity could make him ready to make the jump to the NHL as early as next season.
