Do articles with headlines that ask questions ever answer with "No?"

Yes indeed... The Sundin rumors are heating up again, and the latest is that Alfredsson may be talking to the two Swedes about joining the Sens. Of course, cap space is tight and the normal disclaimer applies*, however, this is interesting on some levels because with the loss of Comrie the Sens are definitely thin at center and Mats to the Sens is always interesting on pure irony levels.

Of course, another player in the Sundin sweeps will be the Canadiens, and it is my prediction that by this weekend there will be plenty of Sundin and Habs talking articles out there. It has been bubbling under the surface for quite some time among the inner circles of the rumor mill.

That other team interested in Kessel I fully believe now to be the Predators. I am looking into who the alluring prospect may be, but I am told of a rumor that the Preds have set a deadline of tomorrow for the Bruins and if they don't meet it, the deal could be off the table. That deadline may or may not be factual of course, but I can say that some of my sources close to the Leafs feel that deadline is indeed real and that while there is no immediate need for Kessel to be moved (since many feel he is out until December) there certainly does appear to be a desire by the Leafs to make this move ASAP and start the season with a bang.

I am going to kick off my prediction/analysis of the teams tomorrow by starting in the Central Division....Is it the best division in hockey? (that answer may NOT be yes...not a headline.)

Sources around the Flyers are saying the James van Riemsdyk is looking outstanding in camp and the former second overall pick (currently playing on a line with Giroux and Briere) has almost made the roster and it will be "his job to lose." Btw, looking for a sleeper in your hockey pool this year. Briere. He has been flying and is once again healthy and has ridiculous chemistry with Giroux.

Zherdev to the KHL for real this time? Looks like it

Also....NHL10 has arrived! I am excited to sit down and play some late night NHL10 on xbox. My XBOX LIVE gamertag is BUZZEKLUND and just a warning, "If you think you can challenge me tonight to a match online and that you can beat me....you CAN! I SUCK." Yes, I was once kick ass at NHL95 on my Sega, but compared to the modern generation of gamers I can just sort of hang on. However, I do have a headset, and I may try to distract you with crazy rumours about your favorite team as we play. So follow my twitter, and I will tell you when I am going on tonight. probably after 11 pm ET.
