CuJo and his agent officially waived the no-trade clause, as detailed in this article:
The thing I found the most revealing, was that the New York Post has cited that Mike Dunham is being shopped to Boston, in a possible move to precurse a trade for CuJo. Are we seeing a possible truth come out of the Lindros rumors?
A Darker Evil Looms
In about a year we will all be sitting around waiting to see what kind or battles are fought in the impending labor war that will take place in the NHL. While small market teams are relishing the idea of getting the help they need to be more competetive, the league offices are allowing greater disservices to happen that could potentially affect all teams. We can look back to the Jaromir Jagr trade of a few years ago when Pittsburgh dealt him for peanuts just to save money. Or more recently the Kovalev trade. But I prefer to look at the doings of the day. Colorado just signed two premier free agents for a combined salary that would barely buy you an overrated defenseman
Arvedsson to become a Leaf…does he play defense?? de Vries to Leafs?
It was reported on the Fan 590 radio in Toronto this morning that Magnus Arvedson may be signed by the Leafs as early as today, to a multi-year deal.
A look at the Penguins’ building blocks
Since a lot of people who are not familiar with the Penguins’ depth chart seem to see Pittsburgh circling the drain, I figured I would take it upon myself to shed some light.
Obviously, the Penguins have made it clear to the hockey world that they are in a re-building process. Following is an analysis of the Penguins’ depth chart, from the crease on out.
It is time for the HTR Staff to make a new addition to the site. It has been a while since HTR.com did not add anything new, and now that we have received a whole lot more visitors and especially new members, who greatfully contribute, it is time we do more for the hockey fans who are a part of HTR.com. Remember, HTR.com allows a hockey fan to express his/her views on certain topics in an article or comment, and we are a site that has done extremely well posting updates (*March 11 Trade Deadline was a huge hit*).

Wesley Re-signs with Carolina. What the Hell
TSN.CA….
“Free agent defenceman Glen Wesley has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes, TSN has learned.
Sources say the deal is worth $2.75 million plus bonuses.”
On stlouisblues.com columnist Larry Wigge was talking about all the FA signings so far. Wigge gave some names of players who might either sign with the Blues or, be traded to the Blues.
Marchment Getting A Second Chance
It was just reported on the Fan 590 in Toronto that the Leafs have now “turned they’re attention” from signing Greg de Vires to Marchment. It seems that maybe the Leafs have realized that someone is making a better offer than they are willing to make for de Vires and that Marchment must be the next best choice. Now this report maybe be blown out of perportion by the Toronto media, as they are well known for doing, but if it does turn out to be true, and they can’t aquire de Vires, then I say definitley sign Marchment. If the guy is willing to sign for $900,000(give or take) for a one year contract then you’re getting him as a steal. He isn’t as good as de Vires but still is a soild, hard hitting defencemen with alot of experience and can only boost a deplenished Leafs blueline.

Apparently the Detroit Red Wings have called a press conference for 10:30 am est. tommorow. Murky waters are ahead for the Wings as they might be faced with some really tough decisions. Who will go??? Cujo or the Dominator. Alot of people are saying it’s a no brainer but what it Cujo decides not to waive his no trade clause?? Guess will have to wait and see. There may be no truth to this press conference being called at all because I only seen it posted on

Gosh darn it, he’s back…
In trying to play “catch-up” after my little vacation, I noticed the inevitable torrential deluge of “The %$#@^ Avalanche are buying the Stanley Cup” comments in the wake of Kariya / Selanne. You didn’t think I was going to let this continue unchecked, did you?
It appears the LA Kings have made a little splash in the FA market. They have gone and signed former Canuck Trent Klatt. Details of the contract have not been determined yet.
