NHL TRANSACTIONS AND DEPTH CHARTS
Transactions include NHL personnel moves from Sept. 1-8. The 32-player depth charts endeavor to rank players-under the positions they’re expected to play-in terms of their value to the organization, not line combinations. Goalies are listed in pecking order one through four, followed by 10 defensemen and six forwards at each position. Restricted free agents are denoted with an asterisk (*). ANAHEIM TRANSACTIONS Sept. 5 Matt Cullen C. signed one-year contract. 32-MAN DEPTH CHART G—Guy Hebert, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Dominic Roussel, Gregg Naumenko. D—Oleg Tverdovsky*, Ruslan Salei, Pavel Tmka, Vitaly Vishnevski, Niclas Havelid, Patrick Traverse, Jason Marshall, Pascal Trepanier, Chris O’Sullivan, Dean Malkoc.

Peace declared!
The Ottawa Senators won the battle. It remains to be determined if Alexei Yashin will win the war. Yashin, the star center who sat out last season rather than play for the Senators, begrudgingly agreed to return to the team after running out of legal options in his attempt to become a restricted free agent. When an Ontario judge refused Sept. 5 to hear Yashin’s appeal of arbitrator Lawrence Holden’s ruling-that he owed Ottawa the final year of his five-year contract-it effectively reduced his options to this: Play in Ottawa or don’t play at all. Although Yashin was not immediately available for comment-he was expected to talk at a Sept. 9 news conference—the sense in Ottawa was he would play this season for the Senators and then be traded. Ottawa likely cannot afford…
Hartsburg makes it clear: Hebert Ducks’ No. 1 man
After being left unprotected, then going unselected in the expansion draft, veteran goaltender Guy Hebert had to like Mighty Ducks’ coach Craig Hartsburg’s pronouncement on the eve of training camp. “Guy is our No. 1 goaltender,” Hartsburg said. “That’s cut and dried right away.” Anaheim landed a potential goalie of the future during the off-season, obtaining Jean-Sebastien Giguere from Calgary. While the Flames had no room to protect Giguere from expansion entries Columbus and Minnesota, the Ducks were willing to expose Hebert in order to secure Giguere. Certainly, the $3.6 million due Hebert this season and the $3.8 million he’ll receive next year couldn’t have been attractive to the fledgling clubs. Giguere, then, is Hebert’s heir-apparent, though Giguere will have to compete with holdover Dominic Roussel for the backup job this season. Hebert, 33, struggled…
