I'm sure Dom has a post going up as I write this, but on the off chance he doesn't, Staple says Streit is gone, saying, " The Islanders are believed to have made a three-year offer for the same $4.75 million per season that Lubomir Visnovsky accepted on the eve of the trade deadline (Visnovsky's deal is for two years), but Streit is looking for north of $5.5 million per season." Streit is crazy if he thinks he's getting that.

Quick, somebody call Crysby a WAHHHHHMBULANCE!!!! If this was the Ises the league wouldn't do anything about it. Since this is the poster boy of the NHL they will do something about it, Im sure.

As I'm sure the draft talk will pick up over the next couple of weeks, this is an interesting piece about scouts, and people who report on prospects, and the difference between the two.
