(User Info | Send a Message) | This is the most bogus trade rumor I have ever seen posted on this site. I can give you a few reasons why this would NEVER happen.
1. Brian Burke does not make huge deadline deals to "run" for the cup. He has seen many teams make stupid decisions like this which sacrifice the future. If he were looking to accquire Zhamnov, he might include Fedorov, Umberger, and one of his 3rd or 4th liners, but NEVER Auld or King.
2. Alex Auld is the Canuck's future starting goaltender (as soon as next year). He is in the minors so that he can get as many starts as possible, and don't be surprised if he never plays in the NHL as a backup. I predict an Auld-Hedberg tandem next year. Once again, Brian Burke would NEVER trade someone with this much promise for a centre who will leave at the end of the year. NEVER. I can promise you that this deal was never on the table. This isn't the Leafs we're talking about here.
3. Jason King was the leading rookie scorer for the first couple months of the season. He doesn't show as much promise as Auld, but he has shown great chemistry with the Sedins at times this year. You think Burke would trade a rookie who has shown a great scoring touch for an old player who will leave within months? This goes directly against everything he does as a GM. King has looked like a young Luc Robataille at times this year.
4. This isn't to dispute the rumor in general, but the way you presented it. This trade for Zhamnov would be DEVESTATING for the Canucks organization. For you to claim that it would be "good for both teams" shows that you have basically no knowledge of the Canucks prospects involved, and are biased towards the Hawks.
Zhamnov could be a Canuck by the end of the season, maybe. But Burke is not stupid enough to attempt to "out-bid" the Wings by trading away our future. He is aware that to build a successful team in Vancouver, you have to look for other ways to outmatch the big budget teams. I seriously doubt Burke would trade Auld for anything less than an elite starting goalie. He's not going anywhere. |

If I were the Chicago GM, I'd jump all over that deal in a heartbeat, although I might want someone or a pick substituted for Fedorov. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I personally believe that the Canucks will end up with Alexei Zhamnov. But they will not make this trade.
Dan Cloutier is not the future of this franchise. If he is, then they might as well throw Naslund and Bertuzzi into the deal as well, because he just isn't a long term solution.
Also, you call King a "more of a worker than a talented goal scorer." I can't stress this enough, so listen up Glen Sather: You need workers to win games! Nobody works on the ranger$, everybody's a talented scorer, they never win. Also, here are some some worker bees who have developed into talented scorers:
Jason Blake
Robert Lang
Scott Gomez
The list goes on and on... |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Don't believe the hype my friend. You know as well as everyone else in the hockey-world does........Alexei Zhamnov is gonna be wearing the red and white for the remainder of the 2003-2004 season. He may very well win his first cup. I can't tell you who will go in exchange but Ken Holland still has several highly regarded european prospects who could be very good trade bait to a young rebuilding Chicago team. "LET'S - GO - RED- WINGS." |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | In support of this article, I did read where Brian Burke said he would not dismiss adding a player at the deadline to increase his cup chances (cannot find article now unfortunately). I could see this trade, but I would think Chicago would have to throw in a 2nd to 4th rounder to even it up a bit. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I think is too much for a rental player. King is a promising young guy, Fedorov doesn't seem to have a hard work ethic, but could become a good player in the NHL with the time (maturity); still "tradeable", Auld is a goalie among many others.
Chicago would have the best of the deal hand down, Zhamnow will not sign with them. |

DETROIT FREE PRESS: Nicholas J. Cotsonika reports Chicago Blackhawks centre Alexei Zhamnov expects to be dealt to the Red Wings, although it seems no deal is imminent. GM Ken Holland refused to comment, and Cotsonika suggests Zhamnov may not be the Wings only choice if the club opts to swing a deadline deal.
Spector's Note: My thanks to "Gats" for the Free Press story. Right now the Wings are in no hurry to swing a deal. And with Derian Hatcher, Steve Thomas and Darren McCarty due back soon from injury, they may not need to make any major deals by the deadline.
