Even if he has an NTC, they could get a list of a few teams he'd like to go to... why pay millions instead of even picking up a 7th round pick or somethign???<BR/><BR/>Is it just a sign of completely failed negotiations and bad blood???Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587582556018606895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-66103834738938742682008-06-25T13:29:00.000-04:002008-06-25T13:29:00.000-04:00Well J, it's a great day for you, -- you finally h...Well J, it's a great day for you, -- you finally have a shot at getting your Tucker-toy.

If nothing else he's one more guy that an opposing team -has- to key on when he's on the ice, and with luck that could create breathing room for the other lines.<BR/><BR/>I could see us taking a look at Wellwood for the same reason, potentially. Put him into boot camp with Barry Brennan and get him playing some Hitch Hockey...who knows?<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of strange things afoot at the Circle K. I suspect we're in for a very odd next few weeks for the whole NHL with all these buyouts, waives, and moves.BZArcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139662859021933255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-64459981509045745262008-06-24T21:55:00.000-04:002008-06-24T21:55:00.000-04:00This could work to our advabtage.
