–Nichols delves into the Jay Bouwmeester rumours and comes to this conclusion:
Throw in the fact that Bouwmeester has a no-trade clause and the presumed likelihood that Calgary would want some NHL-ready young talent for J-Bo (mind you, I may be underestimating the Jay Feaster factor here), and I just can’t see a trade involving Ottawa coming to fruition.
Which were my thoughts yesterday–I just don’t see the Murray’s having an interest or a need for Bouwmeester.
–Sylvain St-Laurent delves into the Murray’s NCAA free agent goals and writes that while they made a pitch for Andrej Sustr they thought they would have a better chance at Danny DeKeyser. I agree with Sylvain that DeKeyser is likely to sign with a team that will play him immediately and that might not be the case in Ottawa (unlike a couple of years ago when there was plenty of space for Bobby Butler).
-Binghamton defeated Hamilton 4-2 yesterday, with Nathan Lawson picking up the win (27 shots) and Wacey Hamilton, Mark Stone (2), and Stephane Da Costa scored the goals. Here’s the boxscore and the highlights.
-The B-Sens lost to Connecticut 6-1 this afternoon; Marc Cheverie made 29 saves for the loss while Mark Stone scored the only goal. Corey Cowick and Wacey Hamilton were a team worst -4. Definitely an ugly game for Binghamton. Here’s the boxscore.
–Luke Richardson offered a brief comment on rookie Michael Sdao:
He’s obviously an intelligent person. You never know if that’s going to translate into the sports world, but with Mike it does.
