Does Bryzgalov's Performance Hurt Him as a UFA? Leaf Draft Trade Rumor. |

Talking to a few sources out there who are basically saying Bryzgalov's performance against Detroit is a big white flag for the pending UFA. The long held belief was that a team who had a first round disappointment would be the landing place for the star goalie. Teams mentioned included Philly, Washington, and Chicago...also I have heard NJ and Florida as possible destinations. And of course, there is a very good possibility that Bryz returns to Phoenix...or Winnipeg...
Leaf Rumors
The Maple Leafs are reportedly working on a "significant draft day deal" which would involve packaging some of their top picks to move up in the first round and draft "A front-line center who the scouting staff LOVES."
My meeting with my top source from last night was moved to this evening, so I will be back with more during the games tonight, as well as a podcast I just recorded with Kevin Allen which addresses the playoffs so far, Bryzgalov, as well as the Phoenix/Winnipeg situation.
stay tuned...
