((HT: TSN-Dreger))How's this for a little on the weird side...?
The New York Islanders' Bill Guerin ((pictured, thanks Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)) made it through warm-ups okay, but he didn't play in the Islanders game with the Buffalo Sabres.
Guerin was pulled off the ice under the thought that a trade for his services will be coming soon. There was no indication he was dealing with any kind of an injury.
Islanderspointblank.com, run by Chris Botta, is reporting that Guerin is willing to move his "no-trade" clause, and will be heading to an "eastern team." The Isles would be getting a draft pick in return as Guerin is an unrestricted free agent come July 1.
The teams that have been eliminated from the deal- Boston and New Jersey. Monreal and Washington seem to be the Top Two Contenders ((capitalization on purpose)).
As of 9:00, the deal is agreed to "in principle," and Guerin seems to be happy with the end result. The team Guerin will be heading to is still a mystery, but the Isles are probably getting a second-rounder as a starting point.
More when we know more...
