Guerin MIA vs. Sabres; trade 'in place'

[Updated, as reporters hang out at Islanders practice for scraps.]
Islesblogger here, Isles captain Bill Guerin is MIA after taking part in warmups.
Islanders Point Blank thinks he may have been dealt and then comes back to all but confirm that.
I had noticed that MacAmmond was on a different line with Sim and Bailey, now I know why I guess. I called up to the pressbox but they know as little as us. I guess it started early for us this year, I wonder who is next.
I am sure we will know more soon.
More in a few, live from the game.
[Update Sunday a.m.: Sounds like there is a deal in place, waiting for Guerin to accept, and this was a precautionary scratch. TSN says Guerin wouldn't know the team until this morning. Islander Point Blank received texts from a trusted source saying something is holding it up, and it could take all day.]

That was pretty fun, watching the telecast and hearing the announcers speculate on what was going on. Half-way through the game, Jaffe was wondering about the Habs.
And of course Stan during each intermission asked 1) Kyle Okposo, and then 2) Dan Lacroix “What’s the deal with Guerin? Has he been traded?” They each laughed and said seeing him taken out was news to them.
Now 19 hours later …

The best was Stan asking Bergenheim if he was traded and he replied ‘Um, er, uhhh – was he traded? I don’t know of a trade – do you know where and for who?"

And Stan to K.O.: “You know you’re my favorite Islander, right?”
Okposo: “Um …”
Stan: “This business with the penalty shot, or the shootout, it has to change.”
Stan treads that line of having their respect while still being able to rib them or ask an honest question. Of course, I’m sure occasionally sounding like he’s off his rocker helps.

Haha! Maybe I was feeling charitable under the flu’s spell, having gotten a peek into what off-one’s-rocker feels like.
