Rumor Mill


Couple of rumors circulating around the NHL. Here they are:

According to the New York Post, Malik is on the trading block and Sather is looking for a top-four defensemen. Interest is high around the league, I wonder what they see that's good about him, but no one wants to meet Sather's offer. I wonder why no one wants to meet his offer. This is a tough trade for Sather since this is supposed to be our top-line defensemen but he is a terrible player. Interesting to see what the offers will be and if Sather will just take any offer to get rid of him or maybe get what he wants. I suspect we end up with 5th or 6th defensemen just to get rid of Malik.

In the New York Daily News there is a report that contract negations for Henrik are on track regardless of his play. Really his play isn't that bad and I am glad it isn't hindering the extension. This is something that I trust will get done and really is nothing to worry about. The question is how long the contract will be. With Ovechkin getting such a long contract, is it really out of the question that Henrik could want something of the same length?

That trade only works if the drive-through passes over the car and the Rangers don't absorb the salary expense for making the burgers.
