TRADE WINDS OUT EAST STINK
I know being a Leaf fan and following the Leafs that every offseason and trade deadline period, there are always crackhead trade rumors. Alot of times I just can't read Leaf forums because it makes me ill. Then again, alot of forums are the same way. But I think Leaf forums are the worst.
Such is the case at an infamous hokey (that's right HOKEY) website today. It is being reported that the 'journalist' talked to a former NHL player in Montreal, and he is hearing that Montreal is willing to trade Michael Ryder, Mike Ribeiro, Sheldon Sourray, Dave Aebischer, and a first round pick to Pittsburgh for Evgeni Malkin. Then, with the newly found free cap room, the Habs will sign JP Dumont!
Please, reduce your drug intake! That is obscene! I won't even justify this story with a link or a rebuttal because it's painfully obvious that will never happen. I will say that on a scale of 1 - 10 stink-value, that one gets a 9.98.
There are also careless whispers of Malkin actually hanging with Ovechkin right now, training for the season. That is actually possible.
Gad, trade rumors can be an annoyance, but they are sure fun to laugh at. (after the vomitting stops)
Funny though, these rumor writers make their bold prediction and then hide behind a probability rating. Usually when the rating is really high, the deal has already taken place. Bold huh? Oh well, they are fun to throw sticks at and I'll continue to do so.

Gainey definitely wouldn't do that I agree. The lopsidedness of that trade is what makes me laugh. Like Bob is going to throw away all the depth he has created.
Uh-oh. A certain somebody is also making this prediction:
"Vishnevski to Thrashers (e3)"
e3 is an 'it makes sense/semi-bullshit' kind of rating.
There is also talk of Vishnevski staying in Anaheim, but I'll bet that's only an e1. An e1 is the equivalent of 'I'm drunk and hungry for site hits'
Florida will make the playoffs (e1).
Kind of like that?
no, not even close! That's e5 material!
Florida will make the playoffs this year, you are right on the button on that one.
Oh, and regarding the Malkin trade: It's equally unbelievable that Pittsburgh would take on an additional $8.3 million in salary.
that is true, but they can afford it as well, which I'm sure is part of the reason why the rumor was created.
A team that used to comlain that they lost money with an $18 million payroll? I highly doubt that, the Pens seem to be in financial boogaloo these days.
I hear Dick Tarnstrom is going to play in Sweden, so he can say : hello, I'm from Sveeeedun!!
