Something's brewing...


Just had an MSN conversation with a source south of the border who believes Bryan McCabe may be headed to Florida.

Oilers high on Spezza


The Oilers want Spezza and the asking price from Ottawa is Gagner, Nillson, and two 1st round picks. The Oilers do not want to move Gagner but have the depth to do so if a deal was available for the Oilers to acquire Spezza who's no-trade clause kicks in July 1st, 2010.

Sundin down to three...


I have been told Mats is down to three teams...

Toronto, Vancouver, and Colorado.

Yes, Colorado. The team that originally drafted him 1st overall back in 89.

welcome to hockeymonger

I should probably introduce myself first.

I was born in Toronto Ontario in the early 80s and developed an early passion for hockey. Ever since then I have been hooked on the game, living it every day. I have only been a part of the professional hockey community for a few years but have already met a some of my heroes and rising stars. I have also been privileged to meet a few former coaches and GM's as well as media persons during my internship at The Score television network in Toronto. I have broadened that experience into a career in sports media where I cover pro hockey for a major network in Canada.

The purpose of this blog is to let you guys in on what I hear from around the league, be it rumours of trades, signings, or any inside information I may be able to leak.

During the coming months I will do my best to let you in on the latest news from around the hockey world. I cannot promise you any degree of accuracy on predicting any rumours but I will throw them out there as I hear them. There will be skeptics and that is perfectly fine with me. I have nothing to prove with this blog. It is just something I like to do.

Obviously I cannot reveal any of my sources as to put their careers in jeopardy but I will do my best to leak some information if I feel it is valid enough to share.

Stay tuned.
