I really hope he was lying or at least exaggerating. If not, then call him an idiot. As much as I like Schenn, trading him for a bonus 10-20% chance of getting Tavares, with a fall back of Hedman and Duchesne, sounds like a great deal to me.

I'm guessing Burke is sending a message to the othe GMs. He cannot be that stupid. It's entirely possible that Burke's Stanley Cup has gone to his head. I really hope he's not that stupid.

The media blowing up the situation are the same people that put ARod on his pedestal. The media loves knocking those they put up their off. ARod has nothing to apologize for, especially to a planet full of jealous fools.

I wonder how many potential steroid using hall of famers chose not to use steroids, didn't make it out of AAA baseball and just got laid off from their bussing restaurant tables jobs. Doubt many.

We all have big morals looking from the outside. Layoff of ARod and start looking at the real problem; Bud Selig. This guy clearly covered up the steroids problem. Did he lie to congress, senate, grand jury about ARod? I don't know. But if failing to tell the whole truth is lying, then I know he did.

Thirty years from now, Bud Selig will be in the Hall of Fame. Bingody! Bangody! Boom! Who's the fool? You are!

Nice draft pick steal by the Thrashers. Both a 2nd and 3rd rounder for a very old overpaid d-man in Matthieu Schneider. Montreal also has a condition pick coming back. It better be high. The Canadiens had lots of salary room to add players, which is now gone along with 2 draft picks. I don't understand this. Kaberle might have been available to them in the next few days.
