Here's your weekly hockey entry.
Of course, hockey talk has been dominated by Kovalchuk trade rumors since last night. So here's the most up-to-date speculation I could pull out of my ass:
* Pittsburgh: every "fan" knows that Staal for Kovalchuk straight-up is a completely even trade. Hell, the Pens should also get Colby Armstrong back, as well as some prospects, and maybe even Moose if they trade the "worthless" Fleury.
* Chicago: Atlanta is probably dying to take that awful Campbell contract off Chi-town's hands.
* Albany River Rats: Big money, big market, anything to lose here?
* The US junior championship team from Mighty Ducks 2: Someone needs to complement the knucklepuck.
* L.A.: They've just exited the rebuilding stage, now would be the PERFECT time to mortgage the future!
* Any Canadian team: One million tsn.ca commenters can't be wrong, can they?
* Washington: They've got a great atmposphere, passionate fans, a circle of Russians, and to remove salary cap concerns they could move one of their more costly vets down to the AHL via waivers, like the Penguins did last year with Miro Satan. He could rotate in so the Capitals have a "4 man top line" system going, depending on the situation. And the power play would click at roughly 80%. This is actually the black horse in the Kovalchuk race.
Nah, I'm just trying to get Caps supporters' hopes up.
