The Mill is Churning Hot!

Chicago Bound

It's Wednesday night, and it seems Brian Burke has created a trickle down effect!


Minor deal - SJ deals Steve Zalewski & Jay Leach to NJ for patrick Davis & Mike Swift


Chicago trades Jack Skille, Hugh Jessimen, David Pacan to Florida for Michael Frolik + Alexander Salak.


I think this is an excellent move for Chicago, Frolik is a top end talent that just seemed stalled in Florida and playing with talents like Patrick Kane/Toews etc can only help him reach his potential, this may also signal the end to any Kris Versteeg to Chicago rumours.


San Jose is in full reaction mode and are looking to acquire a defenseman asap, they are talking with Toronto and Atlanta at the moment.


The Joe Pavelski to Toronto rumour is kicking up again, I expect the Leafs to be coming up with flurry of trades within the next few days as Burke does not like to be "in the herd on deadline day".


Toronto has a deal for a "top end centre" my source says, and are just waiting for the "Western Conference team" to get back to them, and the deal has been brewing for a couple weeks.

Burke just getting started

It's an exciting time of year for hockey fans for sure!
