It is fun, I'll admit that, but he needs to realize some of these rumors are just idiotic, a la Moore to Calgary.

Ha, he also needs to realize that he is not anonymous anymore. Maybe from the public, but every insider must know who he is now, and is not going to throw him anything special since he will blab it all over his site.

Chia getting desperate, rumor has it he is dangling Kessel. Ugh.

Recchi to Boston, good depth move by the Bruins. I like their chances this year.

Boom, headshot.

I'm sorry Boston fans, you will pull your hair out watching Recchi play.

My guess is a 2nd rd pick for Recchi. Boston's doing a good job making their team better without disrupting their current roster.

Good move. For what though?

Most likely a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Ray Shero, please say no to Bill Guerin.

Apparently NHL Live will break the Moore to Hawks details here shortly, but nothing so far on TSN.

The only question mark in Boston for me is their goaltending. I don't think I'll ever be sold on Tim Thomas being a stanley cup winning goalie.

If he is playing on your top 2 lines, you will get po'd at him. He couldn't keep up with Crosby when he was with the Pens and his hands were shot. If he is playing the 3rd line and getting 2nd PP time, then yeah, good move.

Hmmm, Dale Arnold saying the words "so far." But I assume they are done, unless they deal manny.

AH CRAP. Phil Kessel still very much in play, guess they are not done. Don't deal Kess!

With everyone high on Kessel, I would so package him with prospects and picks for Bouw.

He won't be playing on the top two lines with the forwards they have. Savard, Kessel, Bergeron, Lucic, Krejci, Wheeler, Ryder are all ahead of him on the depth chart. He is a nice depth pickup with Stanley Cup experience.

If that is the case, like I said, it is a good move if he is playing on the 3rd line and getting 2nd PP time.
