The Calgary Flames have traded centre Steven Reinprecht and backup goaltender Philippe Sauve to Phoenix in exchange for goaltender Brian Boucher and left wing Mike Leclerc. For all my thoughts, etc. check out hockeyleaks.com
This deal brings Curtis Joseph off the table for the moment, unless they can get a starting goalie in return. Speaking of goalies, I heard a very quiet rumour that the Leafs have offered Belfour to St. Louis for either of Weinrich or Jackman. Doubt this will happen, as St. Louis is trying to clear salary, and not take it on.
Lalime was not claimed on re-entry waivers, which means nobody wants him, even if they only have to pay half his salary. The Blues will now look to deal him, hoping someone will take him, even if they have to take a salary in return.
Calgary isn't done. Reinprecht leaving means they're short another centre. Jokinen is one name thats popped up, however, don't count out Brad Richards to Calgary. Calgary is a very solid team with a lot to offer a lot of teams. Getting a guy like Richards or Jokinen is very possible for them.
Talk has the Lightning trying to move Dave Andreychuck before the trade deadline...lets hope he kept in shape. Cjohnson202@hockeyleaks.com for all questions or comments...hockeyleaks.com for all other information.
