Would you like to know the difference between the traditional, mainstream media and the fetid underworld of the internet when it comes to trade rumors?
There is none.
Since Sheldon Souray agreed to waive his no-trade clause, there's been a running debate about his approved destinations. As regular readers know, I'm a big fan of a Dallas swap. Apparently, my unabashed hope for a trade between the Oilers and Stars has turned into actual interest by the Stars organization in Sheldon Souray.
"The other possible destination for Studley Wonderbomb is Dallas."

"I've lobbied for a Souray to Dallas trade twice before and I still believe that the Stars are the Oilers best trading partner at the deadline."
--Derek Zona, The Copper & Blue, Jan 22, 2010 2:00 PM EST
"The Stars are in desperate need of one more big defensemen and a goaltender; the supposed departure of Marty Turco will help free up finances as well.
If the Stars do indeed make some big trades at the deadline, including one that sends Turco elsewhere, the likelihood of a trade for a player of Souray's caliber increases."
--Brandon Worley, Defending Big D, Jan 23, 2010 3:40 PM EST
"The Dallas Stars are rumoured to be interested in Souray's services."
--Derek Van Diest, The Calgary Sun, January 25th, 2010 3:20 AM MST
One reason the Stars might want to deal 2005 first-round defenceman Matt Niskanen?
--Jim Matheson, The Edmonton Journal, January 24, 2010
"Dallas is a lot closer than anything out east. In all reality, there is only a handful of teams he would accept a trade."
--Hendricks Hockey's Rumors, January 25th, 2010
So, whether it's some guy making up trades on a blog, or established mainstream writers, walking into the world of hockey trade rumors usually requires some hip waders.

I’m starting a rumour that the Oilers are about to trade Mike Comrie for Corey Perry again. If I say it enough maybe the general managers will start to believe it.

I tried that last summer with Alex Rios and Tim Lincecum. Didn’t work then either, and Lincecum won the Cy Young again.

This is too funny. Send it to Eric Francis. He was complaining about internet rumours the other day. Might be worth a laugh to see what he thinks about his own paper doing it.

… and I for one feel yours. I was a Leafs fan when they won their last Stanley (of course the Oilers weren’t even a twinkle in Wild Bill Hunter’s eye at that point). I rooted for them throughout the 60s and 70s, and abandoned them for my hometown Oilers after the merger. As an Oiler season ticket holder that was inevitable, but the choice was a lot easier because Harold Ballard caused me to lose all hope for the Leafs’ future. He tried to fuck over Canadian hockey fans during the merger negotiations, and he did fuck over Leaf fans repeatedly throughout his tenure. Lanny McDonald was next on his list at merger time, and another run of very bad years were right around the corner. So while bailing on the blue-and-white was tough, bailing on Old Weird Harold was not tough at all.
Oh yeah, I feel your pain. Our 20-year drought seems like an eternity, but it’s not even half of yours.

Even as a Habs fan, I can’t help but salute that post.

I sent it to him, though I doubt he does anything with it.

Jesus, he even called him “Studly Wonder Bomb [sic].” Cite your sources, Razor.

Indeed he did. That’s been his pet name for Souray for a year or two now.

I once heard that the Flyers traded Kaparaitus for Desjardins. Any truth to this?
