- That being said, I am hearing more and more that Keith Tkachuk may leave again, but only for a true Cup shot. I am hearing that there is better than 75% chance that the Penguins will trade for either Tkachuk or Guerin from the Isles. Right now, today at least, I am hearing more Tkachuk. [link]

OLD RUMOR - Word is that although Calgary really likes Billy it appears most likely that Guerin will stay in the East. All along we have been hearing that Guerin wants to stay nearby but that won’t stop a team, or players on that team, to try the old “end around” convincing game. There is a deal on the table according to a source that would land Guerin in Boston. I have heard this on three occasions now. Also, the Caps and the Devils have expressed interest. As a darkhorse, don’t count out the Flyers.

Thanks to “Tom“, who caught this beauty today while I was out:

This is part of Eklunds blog  posted today at 2:43 pm:

“The Ottawa Senators have sent Gerber to Binghamton and may have a team that is interested in grabbing Gerber on Re-entry…Perhaps Carolina I was told.”

Sens2006” quickly pointed out the following to eklund in his own forum:

“Seriously? Are you even trying any more? Seriously? Who ‘told’ you that your dog? Because it can’t be anyone plugged into hockey….

Gerber was already brought back up through re-entry waivers thursday to friday…. and when I say friday, I mean yesterday, like he cleared re-entry yesterday!!!! He’s been in Bingo for over a month and is being sent back down because no one picked him up on re-entry.

This site is dead next season: E5 (the only reason I still have a season ticket is that the site automatically renews it on your credit card, make sure you turn off the auto renew on you profile).”

And being the unprofessional that he is Eklund quickly deletes that part of the blog, but another member “StormCast” catches it and points out the following:

“What a shocker, Eklund. You get rightfully nailed by several posters for putting out of date info on Gerber that supposedly came from a source and what do you do? You delete the reference to it altogether. 

Talk about irony after railing on the ethics of blogging.  

Here’s a tip though. If you are going to play fast-and-loose and refuse to show edits on a blog, at least delete the reference to Gerber in your title since the blog now doesn’t mention him. It still reads “Devils Looking at Jokinen, Jay Bo Trade Increases, Pronger, Habs, Gerber  

So Mr. Sanctimony, let’s hear why you’d delete that info with no reference?”
