We're Just Getting Started...

The 110 000 hits we had yesterday officially shows me that the offseason is upon us! Thanks for all who were here yesterday, thanks to Jon Howe and Cdog for covering things, I was called out to the city and couldn't do much about it. I made sure to text Cdog with any information I got, which he then passed on through the chat! More chats will be occuring as we approach Saturday.

Don't think that this week will be slow, because it won't be. Pronger, Nabokov, Giguere, Cloutier, and Biron are all likely to go before Saturday, as teams want to have their money ready to spend for July 1st.

Pronger to Toronto rumours have heated up, with Steen and Kaberle the apparent asking price. The Leafs countered with Stajan and Kaberle, and I am hearing if the Leafs through in Kronwall or Harrison, this could actually be close to done. I'm not getting too excited yet though.

Ottawa is also in on the Pronger mix, with rumours saying that Ottawa has offered several packages, including players such as Eaves, Phillips, Emery and Havlat. It may take all four to get big Chris.

The first three players have been bought out, and there was one more trade that happened last night that went unreported. Check Hockeyleaks.com for those
