Good evening kids...
Been a great and crazy day of hockey calls and family fun here as we visited with my wife's family...always a good time. Had dinner at Ponzio's (Bobby Ryan knows it well) and just got home to a flood of emails...
First off, it didn't take long for the Sabres, who lost Vanek for a up to month (as reported here by Garth....see
HERE) to start making calls according to several sources. Apparently the first player that the Sabres may look to in order to keep them in this playoff hunt could be Erik Cole.
Also, The Canadiens are decimated with injuries up front and a solid source in Montreal informed me that "a major deal for a STAR forward and a up-and-coming prospect that will require the loss of one of the top two d-men" has gained serious momentum this evening. However, should that deal go down the Habs would have to pick up either Kaberle, Morris or a player that they are reportedly hoping to grab should he become available...Scott Niedermayer. I have been of the belief that Scott will either stay in Anaheim or maybe come to NJ. There is no doubt that if he is willing to go elsewhere that would be outstanding for the Ducks who need to rebuild with youth. The Flyers are also interested in Niedermayer and have attempted to trade for him numerous times over the years.
Manny Legace looks to be heading to either Columbus or Detroit on Re-entry waivers early next week I am told.....
stay tuned for more info as it becomes available...
