The latest:
Darcy Tucker
Tucker was approached by Fletch about being traded. He has a no-trade clause and refused to allow the trade. The details of the deal(s) are hazy, but reports suggest there were deals on the table with all of Anaheim, Ottawa, and Detroit. So, expect to see every blue-collar Leafs fan's favourite player with the team next year. Maybe then he'll get his head out of his ass and play some hockey.
Mats Sundin
As is being widely reported, Fletch met with Mats yesterday, as well as his agent this morning. This is good news unless you think trading away Mats Sundin is a bad idea (i.e. unless you are a mouth breather). See, if Mats unequivocally told Fletch he wouldn't allow himself to be traded, there would be no need to meet with his agent today. Moreover, the two had a meeting around a week ago, and had Mats put his foot down then, yesterday's meeting would have been pointless. Translation: Fletch, that old sailor, is working on something. Come on Fletch, bring home Bobby Ryan! I for one think that the Sundin/Stajan/'09 2nd round for Ryan/Mikkelson/'08 1st round (from EDM) deal that is being rumoured is way lopsided in the Leafs' favour. Anaheim gets the best player in the deal, sure, but they're only guaranteed to get him for the rest of the year. The Leafs pick up a budding superstar as well as a boner of a draft choice. If Fletch can pull this off, I'll send him naked pictures of myself. I think he'd like that.
Bryan McCabe
Similar to the Sundin situation, Fletch met with McCabe this morning. What was discussed we don't know, but this is at very least a positive step toward McCabe fucking off to fuckoffity land. OK, maybe that's harsh, but the fact is that there are very few players in the league that can justify a contract the size of McCabe's...and McCabe isn't one of them. His was a brutal signing - maybe JFJ's worst - and the Leafs are handicapped until he is off the books at $5.75M per season.
Oh, and all of Sundin, McCabe, and Andrew Raycroft missed practice this morning with the flu. I'm not totally sure what strain of flu, but my guess is the "I'm about to get traded away so I'm being held out of practice" flu, which hits a lot of players about this time of year.
