TRADE RUMOURS:
Canadiens talking to Stars,
Canucks have interest in Gionta,
Raycroft to Coyotes gaining momentum...Joseph to return to the Leafs..
Islanders Trade Looming
Per three sources...stay tuned as I try to get more info. My guess is that this may have something to do with a d-man and perhaos this means that the Isles are out of the Souray sweeps...just guessing.
Captain Bill Guerin
The Islanders have just announced that Bill Guerin is their new captain...Absolutey wonderful move by Isles.
Aaron Miller.
The Vancouver Canucks may be leading the pack here. I have been hearing this over the past three days...
Souray Update:
There are more and more rumours this morning that Sheldon Souray is down to three teams. I know that one of them is the Islanders, I believe that one is San Jose and the other I have yet to been able to nail down the third team, although I am chasing the Blue Jackets or Oilers possibly getting involved here...
Drake Returns to DETROIT (e5)
Dallas Drake is returning to where it all began and has signed a deal with the Detroit Red Wings...Drake was rumoured to have had quite a few teams talking to him for his experience...
I am re-posting the top 40 from yesterday and will be tweaking as the day goes..
