Nylander Deal In Jeopardy?
Details from Colby Cosh, Ken Berard, Tarik el-Bashir and the CBC.
There's plenty there to keep you busy for a while. Once again, Berard does the job by actually picking up the phone, and gets what might be the quote of the year out of the Oilers:
Just received a call back from the Oilers VP of Communications, Allan Watt. When asked to comment on the team's complaint filed to the NHL, Watt responded, "I don't have anything to say to bloggers." I quickly reminded him that we had spoken at length Monday morning. Said Watt,
"Well that was a mistake on my part."
I'm guessing things are now a wee bit tense in Edmonton's front office.
No kidding.
UPDATE: Oh boy, plenty more talk on this. See Tyler Dellow and J.P. for more.
Given some of the history between Washington and the league, I can pretty much guess what the reaction would be if they rescinded the deal.
