Back

After an amazing Olympic Games, it's now time to return to the NHL. Before I do, I want to congratulate Cindy Klassen and the Brad Gushue rink especially, and all Canadian athletes in general, for their performances in these Games; it truly was an great time to be a Team Canada fan.

For the less than 2 weeks that will lead up to the trade deadline, there will be lots of rumours flying around, and I'll try to post the most legitimate ones. It's always interesting to hear what people have to say regardless of how realistic the thought might be, but I'll keep the more far-fetched ones out of my posts so as not to be too confusing.

The latest rumours continue to involve Blackhawks centre Tyler Arnason, whom the Canadiens are still looking at. Mike Ribeiro, Richard Zednik and Radek Bonk's names continue to surface as players Bob Gainey would like to move on or before March 9, but there is a strong likelihood that the Canadiens could stand pat and do nothing. José Theodore's injury does free up some salary for the Canadiens to use, so it's anybody's guess as to what Gainey will do. Whatever happens, it will be an exciting finish, so stay tuned for all the updates.
