It was a long time ago that I first wrote about Nylander to Chicago Rumour...Well, it's never gone away, and sources are saying today that it indeed could go down (more likely tomorrow or Sunday) It is not likely that this goes down today. Not likely at all. There are factors that will be apparent soon as to why it is not going down so fast....

I do believe that Sopel is involved, in fact I'm pretty much certain. There are people who feel that Dustin Byfuglien is involved. He may be, but I am not hearing that. In fact I am hearing a resounding "No, Dustin Byfuglien is in no way invloved." However if the deal gets bigger anything is possible. But it won't be Nylander for Sopel and Byfuglien.

I do firmly believe however, that this deal is pending a Khabibulin deal that may be nearing completion. The team that I am hearing...I need to clear it with some sources first...but I will be back with it.

stay tuned
