Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

*-> This is a stupid one that I think isn't going to happen but since I report any rumors out there Ill post this one. Some pundits have been too quick to jump on this one and have read into it hard, there is no chance this would happen and Burke would probably lose his job if it did. Here it goes, they're reporting that Toronto Maple Leaf management is now shopping Phil Kessel after he was called out infront of the Toronto media and his teamates this week at practice. Ron Wilson targetted his star for not scoring and showing up the past week. He also was called out for being soft on and off of the puck. Its nothing for Toronto fans to worry about its just a scare tactic used by Ron Wilson. A little motivation. I'm pretty sure it was even preplanned because it looked like Wilson knew all the right things to say afterwards.

*-> Michael Ryders kid brother and prospect of the Calgary Flames Daniel Ryder was arrested yesterday for robbing a convience store in Bona Vista Newfoundland. This kid seams to be on a downward spiral since being drafted. He had a bad attitude when first sent to Quad City, then the next season goes awol, then comes back, then goes awol for good and now this.

*-> A rumor out of Chicago is picking up speed. Reports are claiming the Chicago Blackhawks are working on a deal with the Colorado Avs for Kris Versteeg. The deal is reportedly Kris Versteeg for a prospect and a 2nd round next year. I have also heard a 2nd round for this year instead and prospect Kevin Shatterkirk as well. This one could be possible as the Hawks need to dump some cap for next year and Versteeg is the common name coming up all season long so. Makes sense.
