Canucks appear to have traded 1st pick (#25) and Alberts to Florida for Keith Ballard - not sure if it's Alberts or Hansen

Someone (assume it was a Flames fan) had edited Jordan Staal's wiki page on Tuesday night saying he had been traded to Calgary.

if Ballard is here I see Bieksa going this weekend. not for picks but for a solid forward. unless we can get the 1st round pick from Toronto...

Im always of the mind to enjoy the rumours and think nothing will happen that way anything happening is gravy....

not the beef gravy but the chicken gravy... always good on Fries....

mmmmmm gravy......

The fact it's McKenzie reporting it makes me think that it is true. I'd like to know the details though.

Ballard - I'd be happy if it's for Alberts, not so much if it's Hansen
but.... what does this say about where we are with Mitchell?

Spezza - bwa ha.... it's a salary cap world Ek... look into it.

as per sportsnet Murphy Mitchell is done with the CAnucks. hes feeling better but still not 100%.... poor guy. not the way I would want to go out on my favorite team

LeBrun says trade is pending league approval:
Pierre LeBrun (Real_ESPNLeBrun) on Twitter

Please be Alberts!

 

[filosofy29]

I wonder if the Sharks could pluck Mitchell away on a one year $2mil contract.....

 

[scottflyers88]

i am done looking at rumors. 10 minutes and we will know.

Latest from Eklund:

Semin is in play. The Flames have the assets.

I don't want Semin all over my assets...

that sucks. Ballard is a downgrade I think (not just from his blooper reels).
oh well, definitely an upgrade from Alberts though
