Mario Lemieux To Retire

#66 has called a 2 PM press conference to announce his retirement. With his health not at it's best, and his team at the bottom of the standings, this is not how Mario would have wanted to end his career. Two Pens have now retired in the last week, which leaves this Penguins team in a lot of trouble. The future has never looked so unclear in Pittsburgh...

Lets move on to some rumours...Mats Sundin could be on his way to a new team. Reports out of Toronto this morning suggest that Sundin is unhappy in Toronto, and may welcome a change of scenery. If you want to start speculating on who's coming to Toronto in return, Calgary and Vancouver are two teams who would apparently be interested in the Veteran centre. How about a package that sends Sundin and Belfour to Vancouver for Bertuzzi and a defenseman? Let the crazy rumours begin...

Dwayne Roloson told reporters yesterday that he expects one of the Minnesota goalies to be dealt, whether it was him or Fernandez he did not know. It looks like Roloson could be the one traded, with Vancouver, Edmonton, Colorado and Tampa Bay in the running.

We hit over 10,000 hits again yesterday, which is very good news for our site! Remember to check the rumour mill and TradeLeaks often, as they're updated throughout the day, as things happen. For example, we posted a Doug Weight rumour on that page at 1 am this morning! Email me at cjohnson202@hockeyleaks.com with any questions or comments. Have a good day!
