With the NHL Draft coming up on June 27 and free agency opening on July 1, discussions between NHL general managers are already heating up towards a busy off-season. Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Farewell to Broadway? Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe reports that the New York Rangers are considering using a compliance buyout on centre Brad Richards. Ricards is 34-years-old and has six remaining on his current deal that carries an annual cap hit of $6,666,667. The former Conn Smythe-winner is unlikely to see out his full contract and, if he were to retire early, the Rangers would be on the hook for the remainder of the deal as per the new CBAs cap benefit recapture penalty. This would effectively mean that the Rangers would be carrying dead money against the cap, something that would cripple any club. Since the implementation of the compliance buyout option, teams have used it for 15 players including Richardss former Tampa Bay Lightning teammate, Vincent Lecavalier. Not so Wild about Vanek? Thomas Vanek is no longer a sure thing for the Minnesota Wild, so says Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The connection to Minnesota for Vanek is obvious. Vanek starred for a the 2003 NCAA Champion Minnesota Golden Gophers, winning the Frozen Four MVP and became the first-ever freshman to do so. Still, Russo believes that the emergence of the Wilds young core that helped upset the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the playoffs, coupled with Vaneks poor post-season with the Montreal Canadiens means that the team has cooled its interest in the Austrian. Vanek had five goals and five assists in 17 playoff games for the Canadiens. Getting Drafty in here? Josh Cooper of the Tennessean writes that the Nashville Predators could be looking at acquiring a second first-round pick in this months NHL Draft. The Predators hold the 11th pick in the draft, but also have two second-round selections (numbers 42 and 46 with the latter gained from the Detroit Red Wings as part of the David Legwand trade) and could use both of those to grab a second pick in the first round. Poile says that no movement will happen until the actual day of the draft. The last time the Predators had two first-rounders was in 2008, when they selected Colin Wilson and Chet Pickard.

The CFL unveiled its 2014 schedule Wednesday and the Redblacks will play their first-ever regular-season game in Winnipeg against the Blue Bombers on July 3.LONDON, Ont. -- It took until the 70th hole of the week for So Yeon Ryu to finally feel some nerves. Ryu set the course record in her first round, held a four-stroke advantage going into Sunday and led by six going into the back nine. A bogey on No. 15 and Na Yeon Chois birdie shrunk the lead to one. "I thought, Everybodys nervous and Na Yeons nervous, definitely, so I just accepted my nervousness so I just tried to enjoy it," Ryu said. "And I hit a great shot." Ryus birdie on the 16th hole Sunday restored her lead to two as she wrapped up her first victory in more than two years by capturing the US$2.25-million Canadian Pacific Womens Open with a 23-under 265. The 24-year-old South Korean shattered the tournament record of 18 under but couldnt break Annika Sorenstams LPGA Tour record of 27 under. "Im a bit disappointed I couldnt reach Annikas record, but it still feels good," Ryu said minutes after getting soaked in champagne by friends Inbee Park and I.K. Kim. "Ive been waiting so much (for) the champagne. I was ready to get champagne. I smell like champagne right now, but Im still so happy." Ryus last win came at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic in 2012. Since then, she put up 27 top-10 finishes and conceded blowing more than a few chances. "One of my friends asked me, So Yeon, do you want to finish top 10 every tournament or you just want to win one tournament and miss the cut every tournament?" Ryu said. "I said its a really hard question, but at this stage I really need to win." In earning the winners share -- $337,500 -- of the purse at London Hunt and Country Club, Ryu became the tournaments first wire-to-wire champion since Michelle Wie in 2010. Ryu set a course record with a 9-under 63 Thursday and never fell from the top of the leaderboard. Along the way, Ryu was remarkably consistent, finishing with 26 birdies and just three bogeys. Two of them, though, almost ruined her week. With a six-stroke lead after nine holes, Ryu felt confident she could win, but a bogey on No. 10 and a birdie by Choi on 11 got her thinking. Another two-stroke swing on No. 15 gave Choi hope..dddddddddddd "When she misses that putt, I thought, Maybe I could have a chance, too," Choi said. Choi, who shot a bogey-free 67 to get to a career-best 21 under, went into the bunker on No. 16. Ryu watched with relief as her friend missed a putt before she sank a birdie and went on to win by two strokes. Park, like Ryu and Choi part of South Koreas International Crown team, finished third at 18 under after winning last weeks LPGA Championship. Spains Azahara Munoz, who tied Ryus course record Saturday, was fourth at 17 under. Brooke Henderson of Smith Falls, Ont., shot a 74 Sunday to finish as the low Canadian and low amateur at 2-under 286, two strokes better than Calgarys Jennifer Ha. Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., shot a 76 to drop to 3 over, and Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., shot a 78 to drop to 7 over. Henderson, who received medals to commemorate being the low Canadian and low amateur, said of Ryus prize: "I look forward to being able to hold up this trophy some day." It was Ryus to enjoy Sunday night after holding off Choi, who herself hasnt won since the 2012 U.S. Womens Open. But the 26-year-old couldnt feel bad about her performance given Ryus. "Sometimes I finish runner-up and sometimes I have a lot of regrets, but this week not really," Choi said. "Shes playing well, so I cant control her score." Ryu set a goal of seven birdies so she could at least tie Sorenstams record. She wanted eight so that she could break it. When that was out of reach, she was more than happy to have a long-awaited victory to fall back on. "I had quite a lot of experience, especially failed experience," Ryu said. "I think that experience helped me a lot. ... Ive been waiting so much. I really want to hug myself." Notes -- Karrie Webb put up the third ace of the tournament with a hole-in-one on No. 2 Sunday. ... With each birdie at the 17th hole worth $5,000, title sponsor Canadian Pacific donated $350,000 to the London-based Childrens Health Foundation for pediatric heart care. ...
