According to sources the Flyers may be looking to make a significant trade to clear cap space so they may sign a player...Earlier rumours were very hot that the Flyers were dealing Upshall. I have confirmed from a solid source that the Upshall rumours were NOT true. Upshall is staying in Philly. I was told to "look elsewhere" and that the move may be about something besides Cap space as initially reported.
4:10pm, From a source:
"Bulin news coming by week's end..."
First a little lessen on what I understand about the CBA, bear with me...
There are two waiver periods, one in the summer and one 'regular season.' In the summer waiver period, a player can't be sent down to the minors only to be brought back up at half the price. In the regular season period, you can do just that.
Now, the regular season waiver period begins 12 days before the start of said season. But 12 days before the start of the North American season, thus the games in Europe this weekend do not count in that scenario.
So count back 12 days and....yup, we are here and that is why Bulin's timing is what it is, as the regular season waiver period is underway. Khabi can now b sent down to the minors and brought back up at half the cost.
BUT, as I have been mentioning, there are swirling rumors that a deal is in place involving an Eastern Conference squad. Rumors include the Sens, Thrashers (odd to me, too)...and the NY Rangers. The latter could tell us something about a possible Ludqvist injury...involving a knee? Maybe involving surgery?
So every minute that goes by that Khabi is NOT sent down to the minors further implies there may a deal out there.
All this is sketchy right now but there you have it.
More later
