The New York Rangers traded Jason Ward and prospects Marc-André Clich and Jan Marek to Los Angeles for bad boy Sean Avery and a junior prospect, John Seymour. Avery has been known to be a distraction in a dressing room, but will have to deal with Brendan Shanahan, who seems to be the one running the show in the Rangers dressing room, maybe it might be what Avery needed.
Mike Chen in his latest blog spot on Fox, thinks it could be a good idea to shop Shanahan and get something in return and try to resign him as a free agent next season. It might not be a bad idea, if the Rangers have sank by the trade deadline.
The Sergei Samsonov saga is continuing in Habland, he cleared waivers and will not be sent to Hamilton. He had a long conversation with Gm, Bob Gainey and head Coach, Guy Carbonneau. Did he understand anything the two last captains to win a cup in Montreal had to say to him ? We shall see in the days to come. Stay tuned !
Will Jacques Martin, the Florida Panthers GM, trade Todd Bertuzzi ? Most likely, because he needs some kind of return to make the Luongo trade make some kind of sense in the long run. Gary Roberts, Martin Gelinas, Josef Stumpel and yes, Eddie the Eagle are also available. I wonder how many Gm's have Jacque's number on speed-dial, we shall find out soon enough folks.
The dummy play of the week or even the season has to go to Calgary's KRISTIAN HUSELIUS, on his shootout attempt, that has to be the dumbest thing any player to do, unless your talented enough to pull it off.
It should be an interesting next three weeks until trade deadline day. More and more rumours will be floating out there in cyberspace. Stay tuned folks !
