  • When news got out that the Nashville Predators had granted defenseman Tyson Barrie permission to speak with other teams about the possibility of a trade, the belief was that the team was simply looking to clear up its logjam on the blue line. But after general manager Barry Trotz’s scathing radio interview Tuesday night on 102.5 The Game, we now know the news was most likely leaked by Barrie’s agent Bayne Pettinger, which seemed to have ruffled Trotz’s feathers.[Nashville Predators]
  • Just barely a month after former Flyers assistant Kris Knoblauch replaced Jay Woodcroft for the Edmonton Oilers, it was announced late Tuesday night that the St. Louis Blues would be firing former Flyers head coach Craig Berube. Berube, 57, was fired four days before his 58th birthday. [Detroit Red Wings]
