Great Pickup by Columbus, the team that we had him heading to as the favorite on our Rumour Chart.
There is probably one single reason that the Lightning will be on the outside looking into these playoffs.. Dan Boyle's injury. With Dan Boyle went the transition game and the Lightning are just now showing signs of recovery..Now that he is back and performing at a very high level, AND he is a pending UFA the teams are starting to line up.
The top team as of this writing appears to be the New York Rangers who can obviously stand to get an experience top tier puck moving UFA, but then again, who doesn't need Dan Boyle...
Calgary may have moved into second place in the Olli Jokinen sweeps according to several sources...
At this point I would put them close to the top, but I still would keep the Habs above them ever so slightly.
The Sabres are NOT trading Campbell for Cheechoo according to my sources. In fact, I still see Campbell signing with the Sabres prior to the deadline.
more to come FOR SURE.
