Who did he play for?

Saint John, methinks.

Shades of last year's WJC when Mason got traded during the tourney...

Take it for what it's worth, but Eklund is saying that it's not a done deal and that other teams, like Windsor, are in on this.

Not that I necessarily believe it, but could you imagine if Windsor landed Tavares?

I'd be happy if it was Windsor, so that I could get his autograph. If he goes to London, I'm screwed, or any western conf. team for that matter. But yeah, Windsor with Hall and Ellis, and adding Tavares would be huge, though they'd lose elsewhere.

There's also talk that Philly is wanting James Van Riemsdyk to report to Brampton. If he does, they will be in pretty good shape as well, considering they are already a top team, with Hodgson, Duchene, Grachev already there.

Backlund to Kelowna, JvR to Brampton...Should we get Karlsson to go to the Majors as well?

67s would be nice...

Last-season-with-Killer trade? :D

Still no word on Tavares, JVR, but Didomeico has been traded to the Drummondville Voltigeurs for goaltender Simon Giroux, winger Mathieu Gingras, a first-round pick in 2009 and a second-round pick in 2010.

I wasn't aware that a CHL team had the rights to Karlsson, do they?

The 67's don't trade for NHL prospects. They try whenever possible to get career junior players.

DRR: Yeah, I believe Melnyk's team drafted both he and Petersson.

I think it was just a precautionary measure in case things weren't working out in Sweden.

Seems that Ek is right.

Not traded yet.

Don't expect him to be traded, at least not to the Spitfires, they just made a move getting three players. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/2009/01/07/spitfires_trade/
