Be back in December!!

First, I want to thank my loyal readers, who have kept up faithfully with this blog for the past several years. Some of you may have noticed that in the past few months, there hasn't been many posts, after all, I was nearly at a post a day. I decided more or less to stop posting so frequently, but I've come to the conclusion that this blog is important to me and my readers, so starting in December, I will be back to normal.

Latendresse for Pouliot

The Montreal Canadiens have forward Guillaume Latendresse to the Minnesota Wild for forward Benoit Pouliot. Brochu's take: You could say this is a trade of disappointments. Pouliot has not played to his draft position, and Latendresse has never taken that next level. Maybe a change of scenery would help them both.

Niedermayer, Brunnstrom potential tradebait?

According to TSN's Darren Dreger, both Anaheim Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer and Dallas Stars forward Fabian Brunnstrom are available. Niedermayer doesn't have a no-trade-clause, but would like to stay with Anaheim. Brochu's take: I don't think there's much interest in Brunnstrom, considering his terrible production this season. If the Ducks are out of playoff contention, look for the offers to pour in for Niedermayer around the trade deadline. Source

The Washington Capitals have placed forward Michael Nylander on waivers.
