Finally!!

The Toronto Maple Leafs have pulled their heads out of their asses, looked at a 30-second clip of Andy Wozniewski's play, and placed him on waivers. If he clears (he probably won't), he will report to the Toronto Marlies for a championship run with the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate.

I think the Woz is a decent defensive player, but he is very slow, and he is always a step behind the play in the NHL. That, or giving away the puck. He would be a great 6th defenseman on a Western Conference team, where bigger, more physical hockey is played.

In Trade News:

- Dion Phaneuf just signed a whopping contract with the Calgary Flames that averages $6.5 million over the next 6 years, and Eklund's title for the update ran Dion Done...but are the Flames? .."Not even close."

The signing isn't related news, but the fact that a source told Eklund that the Flames are "not even close" to being done their moves sparked my attention, as Calgary is listed as a possible suitor for Mats Sundin. Earlier today Calgary was ruled out from the Peter Forsberg runnings, as were Detroit and Dallas. If you put two and two together, doesn't there seem to be huge potential here? Eklund spits out 5 big rumours a day, most of which won't happen, but when an insider like him quotes a source, they are usually very accurate.

This also seems to make great sense to me. His other possible suitors are San Jose, Vancouver, and Anaheim. San Jose already has Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau at centre, Vancouver has Henrik Sedin at centre, and Anaheim is already a clear-cut Cup contender with the late additions of Niedermayer and Selanne.

Mr. Bone talked about how Howard Berger gave Sundin a 3 out of 10 in the chances of him being traded. Danno thinks: Sundin to Calgary (d4)
