Stempniak was traded at the trade deadline last season from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Before the deadline, Stempniak scored 14 goals and added 16 assists in 62 games. In 18 games with the Coyotes, Stempniak scored 14 goals and 4 assists. He tallied two assists in the seven-game playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings.

The 27-year old from West Seneca, New York earned the NHL’s First Star of the Month in March after scoring 13 goals in 15 games. Stempniak has 96 goals and 113 assists in 374 career games with St. Louis, Toronto, and Phoenix.

Stallworth, who didn’t see much time on offense, injured his foot while returning a punt; he didn’t catch a pass in the game.

“The good news is it is not a season-ending injury,” said Ravens coach John Harbaugh. “We’ll get it operated on right away and put a screw in it. Hopefully, we’ll get him back by the bye week.” The Ravens have their bye week on the week of Halloween.

Stallworth signed with the Ravens in February after being suspended last season for DUI manslaughter; Stallworth killed 59-year-old Mario Reyes in March 2009 in Florida.

On Monday, Washington placed Strasburg on the disabled list and announced that the rookie phenom would be shut down for the season.

While shutting down Strasburg looked like a precaution, it has become more serious due to the MRI results and at the moment it seems probable that he will need Tommy John surgery to repair his elbow. Nationals’ general manager Mike Rizzo has said that the 22 year old would also need over 12 months of rehabilitation after the surgery.

This is the second time in as many seasons that a Nationals’ rookie pitcher is in need of Tommy John surgery as pitcher Jordan Zimmermann had the surgery performed on him last year.

Ironically, it is Zimmermann who will be called up from the minors and replacing Strasburg in the rotation having fully recovered from his Tommy John surgery.

Earlier this summer, Kovalchuk received a 3 year $42 million offer from St. Petersburg of the KHL which is non-taxable.

Stay tuned for more details.

“I know doing that was — was stupid, but I was trying to save some embarrassment for her,” said Hess. “I have no idea. I mean that — that whole thing was a — was a fuzz for me.”

There is still a question regarding the exact nature of the relationship between Hess and Blasberg. Erica’s father, Mel, believes that Hess and Erica were involved in an “intimate” relationship.

The drugs that were found in Erica’s system included butalbital, temazepam, alprazolam (Xanax), codeine, hydrocodone, and tramadol.

Dr. Hess played golf with Erica on May 7 at the Southern Highlands Golf Club. Later, they met at the M Hotel and Casino to watch TV and parted ways at about 9 PM. The next evening, Hess talked on the phone to Blasberg, who sounded inebriated. The next day, Hess tried to call Blasberg, but got no response. He then drove to her house in Henderson and found her dead.

On Tuesday, the coroner’s office of Clark County declared that Blasberg died of suicide due to asphyxia, coupled with toxic levels of prescription drugs in her system.

Dr. Thomas Hess, who made the 911 call to police after finding Blasberg’s body, was issued an arrest warrant for obstruction of justice. Hess allegedly removed items from the scene, including a suicide note; he also stopped cooperating with detectives.

Blasberg’s agent said that her bags were packed for a tournament in Mobile, Alabama when her body was found.

Blasberg was a 25-year old golfer in her sixth season on the LPGA tour. She was the 2003 NCAA Freshman of the Year and 2003 Pac-10 Player of the Year while attending the University of Arizona. Blasberg turned pro in June 2004.

”I’m not asking for a trade. I want to be here in Anaheim. This is where I want to be,” said Ryan.

”If it comes to a situation where there’s heads butting, then I guess it would be best. But I am not looking for a trade. I have no intentions of being traded. I love it here and want to remain a Duck.”

It is reported that the Ducks have offered Ryan four and five year deals worth as much as $4.5 million per season but reportedly Ryan is seeking at most a term of three years.

Asked if he’ll be playing for the Ducks at training camp, Ryan said, ”I don’t want people to think I’m holding out or I’m going to hold out. ‘That’s not the case. We’re just trying to find something that works for both sides right now.”

Known as a shutdown defenseman for the Vancouver Canucks, Mitchell was limited to 48 games last season due to a concussion. In those 48 games, he notched 4 goals and 8 assists.

The original deal would have seen Kovalchuk make $95 million in the first ten years of the deal but only $7 million during the final seven years of the contract, giving an average cap hit of $6 million. The deal would end up finishing when Kovalchuk is age 44, where it is assumed that he will not be playing in the NHL by that time.

The NHL rejected the contract because of the details stated above and their decision was upheld by an arbitrator after the NHLPA filed a grievance towards the NHL’s decision.

Ever since, the Devils have been trying to create a new deal with Kovalchuk with no success thus far. Reportedly, the Devils had talked about a new framework for a Kovalchuk contract to the NHL on Monday and the NHL deemed that the new framework would also be unacceptable. Now people have mistakenly thought through this development that Kovalchuk had signed a new contract which is completely false as Kovalchuk has not signed anything and no formal contract was submitted to the NHL. This was just the Devils and the NHL talking about a new concept the Devils had for a Kovalchuk contract.

With no contract yet, there is a stronger chance that Kovalchuk will go back to his home country of Russia and play in the KHL, whose season begins on September 8th.

More details to come in the upcoming days about the Ilya Kovalchuk saga.
