Trade Thoughts

I don't like to dabble in the dark arts of trades. I hate it, actually. Can't stand the rumor sites, I can't stand the people that make up the rumors, and I can't stand the people who pay the idiots who make up the rumors.

I do however, know how to read. Make the jump, and let's take a peek at two things I noticed today. No rumors, I promise.

Followed by this:

Now, like I said, I wasn't even going to bring it up until Russo posted his latest rant from Vancouver. After reading about his bout with a snowstorm in slacks and loafers (really Russo?), he mentions this through his caffeine buzz:

However, Cullen is now mentioned as being most definitely being traded, Wild have a need, they have the space, and Russo says he is a good guy. I am liking the idea more and more.

So, Wilderness. What are you willing to part with for Cullen? Do you even want him around? He is getting up there at 34 years old, but that could also means he takes a bit of a salary cut to end his career at home. Thoughts?

Also... Russo mentioned this little gem:

So... they are planning to re-sign Zidlicky. Ugh. I would rather have Johnsson at a discount, if possible. Please, Fletch?

Alright. Discuss.

Author's note. I have no inside information. I am not reporting any deal is in place. I am simply pointing out that there is an awful lot of chatter about Cullen, and the situation fits.
