News as it comes... March 3rd

Considering that it is the day before the deadline and news is seemingly coming in every few min, rather than make several posts i'm gonna consolidate it all here, I'm gonna be around most of today and tomorrow so if anybody wants to get any discussion going on the comments, i'm game...

11:40 AM - Via Pierre LeBruns Blog on ESPN....Penguins did Inquire about Ruutu, but have since moved on to other targets - LINK

11:42 AM - Via TSN Canada - Crosby hopes to make his return to the lineup tonight from a groin injury but will likely be a game time decision. LINK

12:14 PM - Via ESPN, Good news for the rest of the east, the Wild have resigned goaltender Backstrom to a 4 year deal, there was a lot of speculation that Backstrom could be going to either Philly or the Caps (both have piss poor goaltending)...LINK

12:25 PM - Via TSN, the Penguins pussed out allowing the Rangers to re-acquire Sean Avery off of waivers...LINK

12:30 PM - I'm hearing that Satan was placed on waivers but I am having trouble finding it through a reputable news outlet...

1:14 PM - TSN.ca confirms, the Pens have waived Miroslav Satan today...In addition to Miro, Gerber from Ottawa and Gary Roberts have been placed on waivers...Not sure what to think of this, he sucks it down for half a season we keep him, he starts to play well we waive him...whatever, sid better be able to play else Janne might be getting a call...LINK

1:51 PM - Pittsburgh Penguins confirm that Sidney Crosby will be sitting out again with his groin injury, with him and Satan both out we are 1 forward short....LINK

2:02 PM - Empty Netters is reporting that Billy Thomas has cleared waivers and will remain with the team, idk if he's in WBS right now or still with the big boys... LINK

2:54 PM - No confirmation yet, but I am hearing that Satans waiver period does not start until tomorrow, so he may still be in the line up tonight...this happened a few years ago with Thibault if you remeber, all i know is if i just got waived i wouldn't want to go out there with that teams logo on...

4:48 PM - I'm hearing that it is going to be pretty quiet from now until after all the games tonight (say around 10 pm)...Makes sense...tomorrow could be huge...

Wish I had a better one, but inside pittsburgh sports and Daren Dreger

yeah i saw that there, i'm trying to stay as off the wall rumor free as i can, so i'm trying to refrain from liking TIOPS and Hockey Buzz, if this is the truth though, I would have to imagine a call-up or move is in the works...
