Solid bloodlines!

Gotta figure at least one D is on his way out by tomorrow.

RFA at the end of the year. Good guy to have for the bottom pairing. Should keep Granberg away from the team if someone else gets traded or if injuries hit.

well...now I'm excited!

They only had 6 defencemen on the roster, and everyone's healthy. They needed someone else and I think that they either didn't like their options on the Marlies or wanted to keep certain guys in the AHL for now.

Ah, certainly makes it easier though.

Lets dream that the Pylon can be moved right after Clarkson. That would be mind-blowing.

[Rebel_1812]

what is his corsi?

[Chris]

I think most likely they're going to try to get a pick for Holzer. Second most likely, Polak gets moved for a better return. Least likely, Phaneuf...think he's a summer deal though my preference would be for him to go ASAP.

[Highlander]

Be nice to get a second at least for Polak or team him with Bozak for a first

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Let us hope he plays Lou Gehrig to Phanuef's Wally Pipp.

Come on... It's stuff like this that leads people to mock leafs fans. How in the world does a 24 year old with 78 career games replace Phaneuf? No matter what your opinion of Phaneuf is that's just ridiculous.

We could brand them "the -ak pack"

After I take my tongue out of my cheek I'll respond to that.
