*Pending Clearing Waivers

Do you think there's much truth to the Bolts-Leafs attempted trade?

If it is true, I don't have a problem with teams trading potential buyout candidates away. I would have a problem with the old team then re-signing the player they traded away.

You forgot MAF, Crosby, Malkin and Letang from the Pens, Pete.

Poontang isn't getting bought out, he gettin' traded!

7million and he says no. I think people have short memories.

And the Islanders have finally pulled the trigger on Rick DiPietro.

You mean they shot him?

If he'd been a racehorse they would have.

Good deal for the Flyers.

I think Horton is in the crosshairs, as his shoulder appears to be made of yoghurt.

For the Wings, we're talking about buying out Samuelsson and Bertuzzi. I'd love to keep Bert, but last season's injuries hampered him a lot. Sammy, I'm not bothered about at all, and we have equally good young lads to replace him. Emmerton, Andersson, and Nyquist are all capable.

We've bought out McCollum, but I'll be amazed if anyone actually knows who he is, as when you're 4th choice goalie, you don't get much of a look-in! I also expect us to buy out Coliacovo, due to fact he's done nothing since he came here, and it completely hopeless. As far as reasons for buy-outs go, that's quite a good one.
