Iginla went to Boston. Not sure if that takes them out of the running for Clowe.

In a shocking turn of events on a wild Thursday morning, the Calgary Flames announced that they've traded franchise icon Jarome Iginla to the Penguins for Pittsburgh's first-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, the rights to unsigned draft choice Kenneth Agostino and unsigned draft choice Ben Hanowski.

Spanking the Red Wings would really make my night.

i talked to my friend whos a boston fan and he said he thinks its not going to happen because they need a pure scorer not a powerforward... they have a better one in Lucic who is having a Clowe-type year as well.

With Demers out today, does Burns go back on defense? I'd rather keep him on the wing and not mess with the lines right now.

Burns could move back to defense for Sharks

SAN JOSE -- San Jose Sharks defenseman Jason Demers has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Phoenix Coyotes, likely forcing the return of Brent Burns to the blue line.

"He's not going to play tonight," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said of Demers. "Not feeling good today."

Demers took a hard shoulder-to-head hit from Detroit Red Wings center Cory Emmerton in the first period Thursday night. Although Demers finished the game, that hit raises obvious questions about a potential concussion. McClellan was asked whether Demers is out because of the Emmerton hit.

"He's not going to play tonight," McLellan repeated. "He's not feeling good today." ...

McLellan said the Sharks have a defenseman en route to San Jose from their American Hockey League team in Worcester, Mass., but he's not expected to arrive in time to play against Phoenix. McLellan declined to name the defenseman.

Agree 100% -- I do NOT want to see Burns on D, but it looks like they may be doing that...

Worcester is playing right now. I checked to see who was not active -- It looks like Matt Tennyson the rookie might be the guy getting called up. Makes sense since he's a puck-moving defenseman like Demers, 4th on the Worcester team in points right now.
