*-> Michael Nylander has been sent down to the Hersey Bears this week for a "conditioning" stint its more likely its to showcase his skills for rival GM's and other leagues. There is very little interest in Nylander but some believe a struggling team like Nashville may take a risk. It is also believed that the Caps have accepted the fact they may have to rentry waive him and take the cap hit to clear him out. Nylanders camp is also accepting the fact that he may have to accept being waived in order to resume his career quickly. There isn't much interest overseas so time is running out.
*-> Peter Forsberg is in a similar boat as Nylander. His main goal is to return to the NHL but not many teams have inquired about the former best player in the world. The Preds would love to have him centering them but the risk may be too high. The Blackhawks also were interested but would have to solve there RFA problem first. Another team who is in the market for a 2nd line center is the Senators but they too have cap issues and way too many defensemen. A few moves would be in order.
*-> Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun has been called out for making up rumors by Florida GM Randy Sexton. The original rumor of the Panthers trying to trade away Nathen Horton last week was squashed quickly by Sexton saying the source fabricated the rumor and he has even considered it. This is not the first time Garrioch has been in the spotlight for making up rumor.
