Parros played 27 games with the Canadiens this season and didnt play a single playoff game. The Canadiens acquired him last July in a trade with the Florida Panthers. Busy Penguins? Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes that other NHL teams have already contacted new Penguins GM Jim Rutherford about some of his players. "Some people came after me today, and theres ideas out there," Rutherford said Wednesday after their annual GM meeting in New York. "I havent been throwing any ideas out, but Ill listen."

Neals agent also told the Tribune-Review he has not requested a trade. Rutherford added that retaining defenceman Matt Niskanen, one of 11 players who will to become unrestricted free agents July 1, is "not going to be easy."

He scored 13 goals and 35 points in 58 regular season games with Washington. "If weve done the deal (by July 1), great," Greenstin added. "If not, not to worry. It has to be right, for Grabos camp, for the team. Were not worried at all. "We have short time, but we still have time."
