It was so catchy that CheapShots recycled it to shart on Meszaros. So I see your point there.

That hack is so bad, when he coins a phrase that seems to catch on, he likes to get as much mileage out of it as possible.

He's an utter piece of Dung.

Any updates on the Hawks deal?

Yes. It's a rumour.

Another update: It's still a rumour.

I really don't want to change a thing on the back end right now. I feel that Phillips-Volchenkov is a very nice tandem, and the 5-6 tandem of Picard-Carkner is cheap and effective. That leaves Kuba-Karlsson later this year, with Campoli and Lee on the outside.

Karlsson is not coming back to Ottawa this year. No way. No how.

Intriguing.

Stay tuned through out the day as my sources provide me with more updates.

That's a pretty bold statement considering it's likely Murray trades at least 1 dman from the bottom 3 in the next month or two and then what happens if mulitple injuires happen on D. You still don't bring him up to help out?

There would have to be a lot of injuries. I think Derek Smith is likely the next in line for a call up. They don't want EK's first year of Entry level to start so he will be in Bingo until next season.

EK should have been called up instead of Brian Lee but Lee got the call because of the Entry level contract situation.

For what it's worth, your updates are far more enlightening and substantial than Dreger twitting tweets that amount to "water is wet".

I'd rather trade Campoli before his value declines to absolutely nothing. Not that it's high now, but if we can find a taker, we can recoup some of that first back.
Ryan O'Reilly would have looked REALLY good in that pick now wouldn't he?

True enough. Here's a rumour for you "Dreger style".

Chicago is holding off on finalizing some big signings in order to get their Cap situation in order. Word is they have been talking to several teams in an effort to avoid placing anyone on waivers. I will let you know when I have more details.

It's like you asked John McDonough and Scotty Bowman what they are telling Stan Bowman to do yourself!

But there's more. Word is that Chicago is shopping some over priced under achieving players to clear the needed cap space.

I don't buy that for a second. If Karlsson keeps playing well through the WJC, I will bet he's here in January. Murray wanted him here to start the season, so he wasn't worried about the ELC then and if he is the best option in January he'll bring him up.

If he wasn't worried about the ELC he wouldn't have sent him down a game before it kicked in and then brought Lee up instead of him despite Lee not doing much in Bingo to deserve a call up.
