End of the day coming up

It's been a long week, I can't wait to get out of here.

Here is a few of the latest things I've heard:

1.) Pittsburgh continues to shop. In addition to Burke, they've made inquiries about landing Curtis Joseph. In addition, other than Gonchar, (and Jackman?) their defense looks weak, and have been calling around for defense options. They have called the Leafs about the availability of Klee, and others.

2.) Fergie was on the phone today for a while with Anaheim - I haven't heard any names yet, but Burke is getting close to his cap limit. He might be in the market to move one of his defenders - Carney would top his list of guys to move, and possibly Ozolinsh. We'll see if anything pans out in that regard, but I'd personally rate it as very unlikely that we'd land somebody else's overpaid, aging defenseman, even if we do need them.

Fergie is continuing to shop around. The Belfour thing, I don't know how serious he is about it - he's called clubs needing help in net, but it's possible it's just a tire-kicking thing. The Buffalo offer looks fairly solid, but a lot of that deal is contingent on 1.) Tampa taking Belfour and 2.) our ability to land replacement defenders for Klee.

That's all I have for now, more updates as they come.
