Sources this morning have informed me that Schneider may be a Canadien as early as "this evening or tomorrow morning." There is much speculation surrounding this move as it may be a trigger move that comes from the Canadiens being officially "out of the Sundin Sweepstakes."

Sources in NY are "extraordinarily quiet" I am finding and others are in agreement.

I apologize that this is such a short post, but I need to get back to some sources with whom I have been playing phone tag and try to tie a bigger story down.

Today is one of those "impossible to get off the phones days," which I love. Just a constantly opening puzzle.

I will write more in just a bit after I shore up some pieces.
