Yeah, I mean, Murray clearly said we will not be offering Winnik a contract. That's pretty much it, a Gm isn't going to say that and then go back. It's understandable for a GM to go back on many comments, but a clearly defined statement showing he isn't going to resign three players after discussing it with them..yeah, I don't think Murray suddenly changed his mind.

Not even Columbus saw this coming. I'm sure Hextall just called him sent him the offer and Columbus excepted it without question.

Anaheim has already stated that they will not be resigning Winnik.

Not sure how they would still like to retain him.

Do you ever get pissed at your "sources"?

Nothing uve said has happened, and once again, totally missed the boat on what did actually happen

Still with Phaneuf to Edm even after MacT has essentially kibosh-ed it many times....

Not that I believe it myself but it wouldn't be the first time a GM lied about a deal in the works.

I don't understand the Flyer's logic here.

When asked, most GMs always respond with "there's nothing in the works" or "there's some offers out there, but nothing really serious". This could be GM speak, or it could be the truth.
MacT may have not been offered Phaneuf or anything like that, so to talk about trade speculation from fans is meaningless. That's not to say, that if 5 minutes later, a big trade landed on his desk, he wouldn't consider it or even take it. Trades can happen at any moment.

Eghhhh

Would love to see Niskanen in a Sens jersey however, if he's looking for more then $11 an hour I dont' see Uncle Euge opening up the dusty cheque book.

Penguins would never entertain Markov regardless of Niskanen is in or out, for sure
- intelligentscorpio

The Pens should be more focused on hiring a coach first soon b4 locking up their own players.

For nisk to end up back in Pitt he would have to take significantly less then what he d get on the open market... In addition they would need to find a taker on scuderi... Good luck with that. Pittsburgh has bigger concern like 1) hiring a coach 2) fixing their bottom six and 3) deciding what to do with fleury.

Then trade him for a draft pick! I would rather have a 7th round than umberger.

On Byfuglien...
Another option for Philly who would play him on the Blue line...which he prefers for sure...Montreal also in on this more and more...Islanders poking around.


I would actually like him in Mtl, as a defenceman ... but he's expensive. I guess that could be plan B if we can't sign Markov.

I was surprised at that also. Isn't Edm the least likely place for Phaneuf at this point?
- SolidGoldBricks



Not at all. They need D so anything is possible. I think more possible than Philly
