Breaking: Tuomo Ruutu injured?

Tuomo Ruutu of the Carolina Hurricanes has been injured. He has been in a lot of rumors and with his injury, it could cancel all the deals in place. Only time will tell.

Mike Comrie retired.

Mike Comrie has officially retired. In 589 games, he had 365 points and 443 PIM in 15 years. Just a quick note. Mike Comrie could have been a Anaheim Duck. There was an old deal in place that would have traded Comrie to the Ducks in exchange for Corey Perry and a first round pick (Ladislav Smid) but that fell through.

Some quick news and trades.

The Anaheim Ducks trade Maxime Macenauer to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Riley Holzapfel.


Macenauer is a good center that always knows where to be when he wants to bank in a few goals. He will be a long term project, and after that I can't really be sure if he will be a good player. After a lot of reading and analysis I see him as a minor leaguer and nothing more.


Holzapfel is a lot like Macenauer ,but needs to beef up if he wants to make it to the bigs. He has some potential but I think his overall skill set is a bit better than Macenauer's.


To follow up on yesterday Sutton's deal is 1 year $1.5 Million. 


Decision on Tuomo Ruutu is expected later this week.

Lots of Rumors. Will be updated when news comes.

We don't want to bombard you with posts, so we're going to have one big posts of a bunch of rumors. It's pretty much a well known fact that the teams are going to be calling like crazy this weekend.

So let's start the fun!

1:06 Rumor - The Detroit Red Wings have spoken to the Buffalo Sabres about Paul Gaustad and/or Brad Boyes. The Red Wings are only willing to part with picks in return.

1:08 Rumor - The St. Louis Blues are having continually discussions with the Montreal Canadiens, names have included Gill, Kostitsyn. No word on what the St. Louis Blues are willing to give back in return. Habs GM Pierre Gauthier is waiting till the trade deadline until making any big moves.

1:08 Rumor/Confirmed (Hearing mixed things...) -  The San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks, and Chicago Blackhawks have all either reconsidered or withdrawn offers for the Montreal Canadien's Travis Moen due to Moen's injury.

1:11 Confirmed - Andy Sutton has signed a one year contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers. Details to come. This could mean he is off the trade market or is a signal for a sign and trade with another team...

2:35 (sorry for the lack of posting. Just no rumors for me to write about...) Rumor - NYR are interested in Hal Gill as well.

This is the weekend where teams decide if they are buyers or sellers. If they are low in the standings, (Columbus Blue Jackets) they may want to sell their assets and get prospects in return, and if they are high in the standings, (Boston Bruins) they will want to get the sellers assets and give picks away.

SCOTT GOMEZ SCORED.

WE ARE NOT LYING HERE PEOPLE. AFTER OVER A YEAR AND ALMOST $7.4 MILLION LATER, SCOTT GOMEZ HAS SCORED.

2013 Winter Classic.

The 2013 Winter Classic has been announced. It will be the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Detroit Red Wings. The game will be played in Detroit's Comerica Park. The field will be converted in to a rink just like the one at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Expect a lot of Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys to be in attendance due to the close driving distance.
