The NHL may be getting closer to a new transfer agreement for players International leagues. "Weve reached a framework for a new transfer agreement," Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told TSN during Canadas 3-0 win over Sweden at the World Championship. "We actually negotiated the terms with the Swedish federation. We presented that proposal today to the other IIHF federations and I think it was warmly received." Daly hopes the proposal will move to the agreement stage - which he would have to take to the Board of Governors - by next week. The only potential snag could be with the Russian Federation. "We had separate meetings with Russia," Daly continued. "They are going to go back, hopefully theyll consider it favourably. Were not necessarily counting on it because obviously the KHL issues are somewhat different but certainly the olive branch has been extended." The agreement, should it be reached, would be separate from any concerning the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Daly said there was a brief meeting about participation in the Olympics and that the process is still ongoing. Wholesale Air Max 90 White .

OTTAWA -- Bryan Murray was there to talk about re-signing his award-winning head coach to a contract extension, but the main topic of conversation was his veteran captains future. "I guess its the big issue in town now," the Ottawa Senators general manager told reporters Thursday. "I didnt realize it was that big an issue because were going to get it done I would assume." Murray is confident hell re-sign Daniel Alfredsson despite reports that several teams may be courting the Swedish star when the free agency period begins Friday. Working on the premise of a one-year deal, Murray is waiting to hear back from Alfredssons agent J.P. Barry. "I have not heard the dollar figure at this point," Murray said during a news conference to discuss head coach Paul MacLeans three-year contract extension. The two sides were expected to discuss details later Thursday, Murray said, adding that hes been disappointed by reports suggesting the Senators and owner Eugene Melnyk are being cheap with the 40-year-old Alfredsson. "I wish people would just wait for some facts to come out before they make stories up thats all," said Murray. Murray also confirmed David Clarkson spent the day in Ottawa on Wednesday as the Senators try to convince the 29-year-old winger that he would be a good fit with the team. Clarkson, who spent the last six seasons withh the New Jersey Devils, recorded 15 goals and nine assists this season and isnt afraid to go to the net, a quality the Senators could use.dddddddddddd "Hes competitive, gritty, tough and last full season he got 30 goals," said Murray. "We hope that he chooses us, unfortunately we dont dictate all of it. Im sure hell have a number of options, but he is one person we have targeted and he fits the role that were really looking for." Clarkson is good friends with Senators centre Jason Spezza, which the Senators hope will help sway the Toronto native. Historically, Murray hasnt been overly active on the opening day of free agency, but said Melnyk has given him permission to sign a free agent if the right player is available. Clarkson made $2.6 million last season and will obviously be looking for a raise. With just over $43 million committed next season, the Senators are extremely close to the $44 million salary floor. "I dont think well be a floor team and I dont think well be a cap team," said Murray. "Well be in there somewhere." Murray believes the Senators are a desirable destination for players. The team has been competitive, shows promise for future success, has a strong coaching staff and has a good reputation among players. "Were a team now that is recognized as a place to come and play," he said. ' ' '
