Here's how I figure that'll go:

Random NHL executive: Hello?

Don Meehan: Hey there, this is Don Meehan. I'm just calling to talk to you about Wade Redden and...

RNE: Oh yeah? How is Wade? Retirement treating him well?

Don Meehan: No, he's still playing. I'm actually calling to see if you had interest in adding him to your roster and...

RNE: Geez, I don't know, we've got a lot of young players under contract we want to give a shot in camp. Giving an older guy an invite and a tryout can make for some good coverage but realistically...

Don Meehan: No, no, he's still under contract. He's still got two years and 11.2 million dollars left on his deal and we think...

*Click*

Anyways, something like that multiplied by 29.

I don't know. I think you might be underestimating the stupidity of some NHL GMs.

Sather:  Hi Don, how's it hangin?  ha ha...so anyways Donny, I was just calling to let you know that I give you permission to shop Will Redden around..
Don:  That's Wade Redden there Slats...
Sather: Ya whatever and I'll be sure to give some real consideration to a trade proposal at this point.
Don:Alrighty Slats, I'll get on the horn right now...can you hear me dialing my phone right now?  Cause I'm dialing my phone calling General Managers of the National fking Hockey League right now, and actively trying to put together a deal for the asset named Wade Redden.  I'll be certain to be in touch with any and all acquisition proposals for Wade MF Redden.  You'll hear from me shortly.  Thanks for the permission Slats...click.
 
So, as of right now at 3:15pm, Saturday afternoon, is it safe to say that this is the "official" calm before the storm?

I'm with McKenzie, these guys have been talking for a while, without being able to do anything. There will be a flurry I think.

Ducks name Scott Niedermayer assistant coach. Expect Leafs to name Tom Kurvers assistant coach any minute now.

Leave it to that hack Proteau to make something completely not leaf related to into a jab at them.
 
TSNBobMcKenzie: We got waivers! Ha. Here you go: ANA: J Hendry, P Maroom, N Guenin, M Smaby. BUF: J Finley, D Leggio, D Schliestel. CBJ: C Bass, A Joudrey

TSNBobMcKenzie: CBJ: R Russell, N Drazenovic. MTL: C Desjardins. Alain Berger on $125 waivers presumably for purposes of mutual contract termination.

TSNBobMcKenzie: NSH: M Moore. WPG: Ben Maxwell. PIT: S McIntyre, J Zatkoff, B Thiessen. That is all.

I suspect Thiessen will garner some interest.

I don't see it. He's a smaller, older goalie prospect who has been mediocre in the AHL last season and this season. He strikes me as the sort of guy every team has in their system already.

Perhaps, I just recall his stock being fairly high coming out of college.
 
Anyone know what's going on with Ryan O'Reilly and the Avs?

Seems like a pretty unusual situation.

edit: didn't notice someone mentioned it in another thread

Florida Panthers: season tix start at $7 per game. Get free parking and jersey. Don't have to commit to next season.

But the important thing is that the Leafs don't have a competitive advantage over them.
