Lecavalier à New York?
Lundi, 18 Janvier 2010
Par HOCKEY30.com

Selon le Ottawa Sun, Vincent Lecavalier serait prêt d'être échangé aux Rangers de New York.

Une source travaillant pour la LNH aurait mentionné au quotidien que le directeur général des Blues Shirts, Glen Sather, est présentement en intenses négociations avec le dg du Lightning du Tampa Bay dans le but d'acquérir le Québécois.

L'entraîneur-chef John Tortorella serait ravi de revoir son ancien joueur vedette avec qui il a gagné la Coupe Stanley.

Les Rangers auraient offert le défenseur Matt Gilroy, Wade Redden et le choix entre l'attaquant Brandon Dubinsky ou Ryan Callahan.

À suivre...

redden, gilroy and dubinsky or callahan for lecavalier....
sure try to get rid of your garbage on other teams sathers... gilroy, callahan and their 1st for lecavalier might get it done but i doubt tampa is dum enough to take on redden.

by **caissie_1** on Mon Jan 18, 2010 8:30 pm

Redden is not movable... + Isnt this a Garrioch rumor... Isnt this now like an Eklund lol... But yeh why take on a ridiculous contract like Redden...

by **SeawaySensFan** on Mon Jan 18, 2010 8:55 pm

If you can get a sucker to take Redden, you happily give up Callahan AND Dubinsky.

So...we could have Vinny for Cheechoo, Foligno and Lee? I say...deal. Ahhhhh!

garrioch is looking like a valid source to alot of these people, guess there aint much to report.

Garrioch is the source for most of these to be honest. These were in Boo Boo's Sunday column. Still, these are worth some shiats and giggles. At the very least they get people to talk (which is good BTW). :blah:

by Flo The Action on Mon Jan 18, 2010 11:56 pm

i aven't read this anywhere but heard it on my local sports radio CKAC. apparently the habs and stars are deep in negotiations for halak going over to dallas... wonder who montreal would get if this would go thru... ribiero??? Laughing3

no but really, Brunnstrom plus a hot prospect? i can't see dallas moving any of their good players. but i could see MTL wanting someone like neil or eriksson

I can't remember who was talking about it, the Hot Stove I think and they said that there was no chance that Neal or Eriksson or Benn would be involved for Halak. They probably want to give up as little as possible without Gainey hanging up. Some form of a 2nd round pick this year and Brunnstrom, yeah. That actually sounds about right.

My little and I emphasize little girl is barely scraping her way into the 10th percentile for weight but she's a cool 50th for height. She just turned 17 months today, so about a month behind your little one.

Every year we are surprised at how little teams get in return for goalies. I'd be shocked if Montreal gets more than a 2nd round pick OR a prospect for Halak.

The Inside Man is up to his old tricks:

- A source in Nashville has claimed that Dan Hamhuis will be dealt to
an Eastern Conference team before the trade deadline. Rumors that the
destination is Ottawa have begun to instensify.

As for Booboo, I recall him being right weeks in advance of getting Sillinger, deVries and Bondra.

Even worse, to a division rival.

Still not quite as bad as the infamous Kevin Lee report of a possible Emery for Kopitar swap. Why didn't that happen?

Mostly because Kevin Lie is a liar.

I still remember the Spezza for Ethan Moreau plus a second rumor.

Oh, by the way, I have posted a new Burt the dog video, and I've updated my rumor chart (e4). For only $20 you could help keep this site up and have access to my new and improved rumor chart; a compilation of my lies via fake sources. Included for free is a server crash on Trade Deadline day (e5).

Backes à Vancouver?
Samedi, 23 Janvier 2010
Par HOCKEY30.com

Les Canucks de Vancouver seraient grandement intéressés à l'attaquant des Blues de St-Louis, David Backes.

Rappelons que voilà quelques années, les Cancuks avaient tenté de "voler" Backes aux Blues en lui soumettant une offre lorsqu'il était joueur autonome avec compensation, mais les Blues avaient répliqué en égalisant cette offre.

Selon le Globe and Mail, le directeur général des Cancuks, Mike Gillis, était présent au dernier match des Blues; Il aurait ensuite rencontré le dg de St-Louis, Larry Pleau, pendant plus d'une heure.

Backes connaît une saison difficile, revendiquant 10 buts et 17 passes en 49 matchs. Il avait pourtant marqué 31 bust et amassé 23 passes en 82 matchs en 2008-2009. Ce dernier a été laissé de côté lors du match contre le Canadien mercredi dernier, ce qui a alimenté les rumeurs.

apparently mike gillis was at a blues game recently. they did try to swipe him with an offer sheet. could the blues go for it? well closer to the deadline they might

Can't see STL moving Backes, for any reason... it would start with C. Schneider and a pick, I guess... but don't think STL would seriously consider it, tho'.

I don't know - from what I understand St.Louis wouldn't move him.

by **Dash** on Mon Jan 25, 2010 12:47 pm

Backes is next in line for the Captaincy, I would pretty much guarantee. No reason for the Blues to trade him. If anything they'd want to improve the team by addition, not subtraction. Sure, he would get you some pieces you might need elsewhere, but surely you can do that without moving him.

Souray is officially on the market, he submitted his list of teams to Oilers GM.

It's no secret he wants to stay in the West close to his family so I wonder where (if) he'll go.
