One thing I can say right now is that we are in for one hell of a summer.
There is a major rumor a flat. I just got off off the phone with a sort very familiar with the situation at hand. He told me there are at least major players, playing right now still in the playoffs, who are almost certainly% going to be traded before the draft in a blockbuster deal that will be the news of the year.
He went on to say that the players are even aware of the situation, and not unhappy about it, but of course, right now they are focused on winning the Stanley Cup for their teams.
Some of my most important sources, and relationships in the hockey world. are with the players themselves. They know they can trust me and they talk to me freely because I am fair… They know I have a job to do, but they also know that I’m not gonna just throw their names out there, even if a team is floating it to try to find interest. I don’t write players are being shopped, but rather write about teams that are interested in a player…. that’s a big difference to them.
I also don’t discuss trades while players are still playing in the playoffs. I won’t put details out right now as to who is involved, but trust me it’s not who you’d expect and it’s completely going to be game changing for several teams should it come to fruition.
This trade may dictate a lot of what happens on the draft floor as well.
Much more to come..
Flyers and Tocchet?
I’m told it’s almost done. Just a few steps left. But nothing that’ll stop it.
I’m hoping very much to do the podcast tomorrow.
Update on injury and word of warning: first off thanks again for all the nice emails as far as progress goeswith the concussion…..I feel like yesterday was probably the worst day, and today feels a little bit clearer… do yourself a favor if you ever worry, do you have a concussion do you get it checked out?. we talk about this all the time with players possibly having a concussion and let me just say, if you had a concussion, you know already, they are very disabling and very confusing injuries. I think I’d rather almost have any bone broken in my body then a concussion. You’ll feel fine one second and then the next second you will wake up on the floor. Do you think you’re OK and then suddenly sparks a light in the world spins. Also, Life is full of stress, and that doesn’t help matters at all when you have a concussion. You really need to isolate, close your eyes, and listen to some music or podcas. that’s about it. Players are playing with concussions more than they should FOR SURE.
