Wow, didn't get around to blogging for a while, been kind of busy. Sorry about that. I'll be making up for that soon, as I'll be introducing a new site feature, and updating the site, once I get all the details down.
In the meantime... I'm still hearing the Leafs are hot on Bobby Ryan (as I said before) but I was told by one source (out of many who are telling me the opposite) that the Leafs wont make a deal with Anaheim anytime in the near future unless they're getting an amazing deal. Some other people have told me that the Leafs are looking trade with Anaheim or Pittsburgh sometime soon.
If you're looking for one fantasy draft sleeper (who's probably still a fa in your pool) then I would take a serious look at Jakub Voracek. This rookie has 3 pts in 5 games, and I think is poised to do a lot more damage. In my mind, he's the early Calder Trophy favorite...
More later...
Welcome

Updates
Sorry I haven't blogged for a bit, been shuffling through cities for a bit. Here's the news. Bell clears waivers. Deveraux has just been put on waivers, as well as Stefan Kronvall. Colaicovo has been shopped around by the leafs, mostly to Pittsburgh. The Ian White rumor I'm hearing has been crushed or put on hold. As my sources indicated White was shopped and ready to be sent to another team, which very well could have been the Flyers, until the club tested him up front, to which he responded very well which boosted White's status big time, as now the club can switch him from defence to forward. A source called me and told me very vaguely that Patrick O'Sullivan will resign, presumably today or in the next couple of days. I've also been told that the Penguins have been talking to Vancouver about a potential deal for a defencemen, which could or could not be Kevin Bieksa. Very interesting. I'll try to get back with more info later...
UPDATE: O'Sullivan has now signed a deal with L.A per TSN.

Bulin Updates, Leafs Updates and Savard Rumor Debunking
I haven't heard too much about what will happen with Khabibulin, and the only hard info I've received from a source was one person told me that Washington was giving Bulin a look, which kinda caught me off guard, but then again, it's only a rumor. I think that when the Caps made a commitment to Theodore they took a chance and I think they'll sleep with that one, and not go after Bulin. We'll see how that one turns out though. I've heard some talk about Europe being an option, but nobody has come straight out and told me that, however if I where to bet on one place for Bulin to land, somewhere in Europe would be my choice.
Some Leafs rumors here that I gathered up and which none should be considered top notch rumors whatsoever, but something to think about:
1)White to Philly (details not specified)
2) Colaicovo to Pitts. (picks return)
3)Kaberle to Pitts. (prospect, picks, and Tyler Kennedy's name been thrown in there)
4)Ponikarovsky to L.A (details not specified)
5)White to Boston (details not specified)
6)Kaberle to Philly (details not specified)
7)Prospects and picks to Anaheim (Bobby Ryan return) - I hear from a source that Fletch is still hot on Ryan but, I personally think that ship has sailed.
---------------Again most of those sources just threw at me, probably for the sake of entertainment, but the White one I've been tracking for a while, and I think the Colaicovo one could happen, givin the right return. The rest I don't think have a chance of happening, but we'll see.
On the Savard rumors, I personally haven't heard anything. Which is odd actually, because usually when a story gets broken at least someone will come along and filter me a rumor. I haven't heard anything though, which leads me to believe there's nothing behind it. I can't see it happening either. The Bruins like Savard, and so do the result sheets. He may have some issues in the dressing room etc... but I haven't heard anything, so I'm guessing this is a no air rumor.
Anywho that's it for today, I'll get back if I hear anything.
