Burke primed for market gain
By ROB LONGLEY, SUN MEDIA
So far, the trades have been minor and draft picks are just long-term investments in the future.
But today, Leafs president Brian Burke and his staff take their latest stab at landing an impact player (or players) who can be part of both the short and long-term future of the struggling franchise.
Burke has promised to be active when the NHL free agency period opens for business at noon.
Wild puts watchful eye on Koivu’s big brother
Chicago Blackhawks reach out and text Havlat
Red Wings wait for answer from Marian Hossa; other forwards could be leaving Detroit, too
Bertuzzi In Toronto
Todd Bertuzzi attended yesterday’s Blue Jays game. Could this mean Brian Burke has an offer for him? Think about it. Burke traded for Bertuzzi in 1998, signed him in 2003 (still with the Canucks) and signed Bert two years ago with the Ducks. Is Big Bert going to be a Leaf?
Sedins Stay Out West
Its official. The Sedin twins have re-signed in Vancouver for 5 years
The annual salary averages out to be 6.1 mil. The Nucks didnt break the bank and maybe have enough to bolster their D.
Healtey SAYS NO to Oilers. TRADE REJECTED!
According to TSN.ca/nhl
Dany Heatley says no when asked to waive his no-movement clause to facilitate an agreed-upon trade between the Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers that would have sent Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid to Ottawa.
Now this is going to be CRAZY! not only does Ottawa fans hate him now, but so will Oiler fans.
Wow… his list did not include the Oilers… so what happens now?
