start here today...
Trade freeze still in affect, but in many ways the trade freeze is an interesting time. A time when teams can talk without fear of the other team slipping out and using their talks as a chip in another deal. As one team exec noted, "Often you are nervous talking because you don't know for sure what the other side has going on. We all get used at on point or another."
So a few rumours for you this morning with more possibly to come today as I continue to chase the players I spoke about yesterday.
First the Predators are looking to make a deal for a forward and the Flames are looking to bolster in other areas..I am hearing a rumour of a deal that would send Pekka Rinee, Greg deVries and Radulov's rights to Calgary for Matthew Lombardi, James Vandermeer and a pick. This could be a very interesting scenario. Not sure what I think about this deal on either side. I feel there is potential in this deal for both teams, but I personally wouldn't trade Lombardi, unless they know something about Radulov that we don't.
As for Forsberg. It didn't even take a week for this...
We have heard that Forsberg is coming back in all likelihood to Colorado, but when? I went digging with my Forsberg sources and I found that he is looking at late January. I was also told not to count the Flyers or Rangers out of the Forsberg talks at all. Another team to always look to with Foppa is Chicago.
One thing you need to remember about Foppa is he HATES to lose and he doesn't play for the money. He really doesn't. Last year Foppa was absolutely coming back to Philly until the Flyers went into a skid and Colorado was playing better. I could see the opposite happening this year.
more to come....
