rumor central and the cbj

jimotis4heisman · #1 (**permalink**) 03-07-2006, 01:55 PM

with just about 50 hours left to go rummors are running crazy. i decided to seperate this stuff to be merged later so you guys can tell if something actually pops up or if its *rumor*

buring stuff for today.
-berard to the red wings, this is labeled at 40% while keeping him 30% and shipping him elsewhere 30%

-*reported* interest in al montoya property of the rangers and former michigan goaltender in a trade, which would of course involve the movement of marcie.

at this point thats all thats come out today. like footbal recruiting these numbers are merely guesses.

feel free to post thoughts, concerns, pipe dreams, your own wishes etc.

Girlfriend's a huge Red Wings fan. She doesn't want a doper on her team. But the Wings need to beef up for the playoffs.

I'm always excited to hear about interest in any goaltender, which would result the departure of marcie.

the only problem i have with the montoya move is it doesnt make sense, al is maybe 2 years out and right now we have a log jam of echl/ahl talent goaltenders and 2 guys who i think can be legit nhl guys (assuming we let prusek go at the end of the year) in denis and pas.

i dont see the nyr moving a young goaltender, sure they have lundquist but not two long ago they had two young goalies career ended by injury.

the thing i look at right now is how the increase value of players in the past two weeks with the new cap. mccabe turned down 16 mil over 4 years, norstrom signed 4.25 a year etc.

look at some solid forwards who are ufa and are very reasonably priced.
lw
*E. Cole 1.14*
JP Dumont 1.6
Marcel Hossa .59
S Samsonov 2.77
D Sedin 1.25

all these guys seem reasonable, cole has his neck thing to deal with. and will the sedin twins split for the first time in their life?

all interesting stuff and will spice up the next 50 hours

not related to the jackets but it seems former ohio state player rj umberger very likely will be headed back to his hometown of pitt. it has been called a "done deal" i would question that with two franchise caliber centers already in the org with sid and malkin though he did play with the flyers 1s this year as a wing...but who knows

suprising to me not a single move yet.

and now no one is talking. NO ONE.

jimotis4heisman · #7 (**permalink**) 03-08-2006, 01:26 PM

still no one will talk to me. as far as the cbj about 5-6 guys are in the know and they know if as much as a whisper leaks out their heads are on the chopping blocks.

no trades yet.....

rumors have the canucks moving either bertuzzi or morrison to the central (to nash or det, neither make much sense really) who knows?
