*The Rumor Mill*: Jiggy Switching Conferences
DANIEL:
This is Anaheim Calling to the Hockey World. Darren Dreger of TSN is reporting that the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to be announcing a major trade in the future. Brian Burke will be available to the media at 8:30 A.M. PST, so the announcement might come in the next half hour. Mr. Eklund down at Hockey Buzz, in a leap that can only be considered the intellectual equivalent of taking the first step in a game of hopscotch, believe that Jean-Sebastien Giguere is all but destined to be a Leaf. While there is of course no guarantee Giguere is on the move, the recent signing of Jonas HIller to 4 year extension seems to lead one to believe that Giguere's days at a Duck are all but behind him. So far, no one but Eklund seems to be jumping to Giguere conclusions, but we've heard this Jiggy to Toronto rumor before. This isn't a move I disagree with, but I think a sad one for Ducks fans who will have to say goodbye to a net minder who has provided a lot of really good memories.

APOLOGIES
The OC Register is now reporting that this is pretty much a done deal. I was looking for a different source and forgot to check the basic ones first. Sorry folks, this is no longer rumor, but fact.

The hockey news claims the Leafs picked up Phaneuf from Calgary. This means that we might see a blue liner coming back in the Giguere trade.

Looks like its not Phaneuf in return — it’s Jason Blake (cap hit of $4M through 2012) and Vesa Toskala ($4M, UFA in July).

Argh. Not only did I forget an apostrophe, I forgot to check for a new post.
