his agent wrote:"It's not about Lubo saying he doesn't want to go to the Isles. He likes what they say. This is about establishing what's right."

Umm, yeah. Right.

Union is afraid of a precedent being set. I'm sure the NHLPA is pushing this.

Yup. This new wave of "insiders" is entertaining.

How does Heatley to Pittsburgh make sense? And how does it make sense that Minny would reject a fair offer?

Answer: it doesn't.

Rumour of a 4 year, 17 million dollar deal on the table for Voracek.

Well, according to NHLSS, Minny believes Heatley > Nash because of playoff experience, and 3x 50 goal scorer, etc.

It's just a Cussing rumour guys, I post it, you read it.

Agreed. There's a difference between something that people are suggesting based on information and the crap that Creasy, NHLSS, and Hockeyy Insiderr make up to get followers. These guys are literally making up everything they say.

Not a rumour. Just garbage.

Sounds like Semin is about to sign with Carolina. They're gonna be REAL good next year.
