Wikipedia already updated, wow.

I doubt it. 'GR just reported that Neuvy learned of the trade on TSN before GMTM called him.

Doesn't necessarily mean he didn't call the agents to let them know that he was going to try to move them today and wants them back. It's hard these days to stay ahead of leaks.

If this is true I am so happy. 

You can get a good goaltender at the draft for a 2nd or 1st can you not?

 

 

A good goaltender prospect.  Problem is, goalie development is almost impossible to predict and often takes several years.  So you might as well pick up a goalie in rounds 4-7 every year.

Maybe, but goaltenders are slow to develop so it's not a good short-term plan.

Nobody's faster than you, but I'm not.

Anyone else getting the feeling that Neuvirth expected to remain a Sabre today? 

 

GMTM probably told him he would like to see him in net as a Sabre next year, and is sure they could make a deal this summer on a contract.  He forgot to mention that he could be spending a little time on an Island first.  Probably why Neuvirth is rumored not to have packed an extra bag, or his passport.

And why he was noticeably irritatated when GR's reporter asked him about the tank.

Johnson's first real season in the NHL was last year with BOS and he went 17-4, .925, 2.10. Granted this year's numbers aren't nearly as good, but he's been hot in Feb as pointed out by Gorby. He's locked up next year contract wise at a $1.3M cap hit, plus we get a 3rd rounder. I think GMTM may have won this one.
