Moves some expected were not made. Petr Nedved remained unsigned and untraded by the Penguins. Defensemen Al McInnis ($3.5 million) and Gary Suter ($1.6 million) stayed with St. Louis and Chicago, respectively, even though they are expected to become free agents.

McLean figures to eventually fill Vanbiesbrouck's spot. The Hurricanes, five points behind Ottawa for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, are hoping Sheppard can regain his form from the previous six seasons, in which he averaged 32 goals. Sheppard, 31, has 17 goals and 14 assists in 61 games this season. CAPTION(S): Photo PHOTO MIRONOV |
