Bird on a wire.

So as certain teams clamor to get a roster in by Noon tomorrow, others are just sitting back signing hold-outs.

The Kings have put certain poolies fears to rest and signed O'Sullivan to a 3 year deal that will see him get just under 3 Mil per. Now all he has to do is not shit the bed.

In other news, there were some pretty surprising waives today. Some because they just make too much money, and others because they just plain suck. Here they are...

Kyle McLaren (SJ)

Boyd Devereaux (Tor)

Staffan Kronwall (Tor)

Matt Pettinger (Van)

Jason Krog (Van)

Peter Schaefer (Bos)

Aaron Downey (Det)

Cory Murphy (Fla)

And the HockeyBuzz Vs. HockeyDump Trade Rumors of the day are..

HockeyBuzz: Sundin will announce a team by puck drop Thursday.

HockeyDump: Sundin will sit on his couch and watch a "Coach" re-run on Thursday.

Note: I am only going to announce the trade rumours once a week now, because it is boring.

Brian Burke's Head Finds a Home

Apparently the only thing bigger than Mr. Burke's head is his own anal cavity.

Today he put Mathieu Schneider on waivers. Huh? A top offensive D-man can't even get traded for a low draft pick? My theory is this: When Burke didn't like the "low-ball" offers he simply decided to screw over some teams by putting him on the waiver wire.

AND, this is the second time in less than a year that he's done this. Remember how the Coyotes got their hands on Bryzgalov last year? It was from the Ducks, off of waivers.

Note to Mr. Burke: eat your ego for breakfast, 'cause when you have 2 top players under contract and you get nothing for them people may start to ask questions (and the answers could be painful if they're located up your ass).

PS - I really hope he's kept a diary on these moves like he did a couple of years ago. I like Burke as a show-boatin' media whore but his GM'ing is a little suspect - right, Mr. Lowe?
