When winger Dustin Byfuglien left the ice during the Blackhawks' morning skate before Thursday night's game in Dallas, it created quite a ripple effect. The absence of Byfuglien also led to speculation in several media outlets that the third-year winger was involved in a trade. The rumor had Byfuglien and defenseman Brent Sopel, a healthy scratch Thursday, going to the Washington Capitals for center Michael Nylander. Hawks general manager Dale Tallon said Thursday that rumor wasn't true. Still, speculation remains the Hawks will make a deal, with goalie Nikolai Khabibulin's name at the forefront.

this is not news.

The Hawks have been shopping Nikki all year. Why would this be news now?

November 22, 2008  09:01 AM ET

trading Byfuglien would be dumb. He a big body whos tough and can play wing or defense. I'd like to see the Hawks get a leader for the strech run but I don't see Nylander making that much a difference. It maybe wishful thinking but I like the idea of Shanny wearing the indian crest.

Nobody can beat T&R at serving up reheated leftovers. Their three favorite dishes are : Sundin, Shanahan and Khabibulin. Lately, they added a fourth: Burke!

There you have it folks. Four T&R flavours: Sweedish, Irish, Russian and ...dog food!

I was actually going to say the same thing. It's so much easier to reheat than prepare a new dish I guess.
Here's a reheated one that's still fresh though:

BETTMAN S***S

The writer (word used with its broadest possible definition...writer indeed!) wanted to try to convey that there was doubt of this, which we all know to be ridiculous, as this story has been out since before the season. The only difference now is that T&R threw in the Nylander part to make another one of their idiotic "stories" look plausible

If New Jersey really wants to stay in the playoff hunt while Marty is gone, they should take a look here. I really dont think Khabi would cost them that much

Tis true my needled friend. That last one will never get old and will never go out of style. At least until the Poison Dwarf is eliminated from being the pain in our collective arses he is.

No kidding!! Since coming to Chicago, he has been a disappointment to say the least.

November 22, 2008  03:07 PM ET

Since this is not actual news, I am going to go off topic by saying that I am glad to see that the Blackhawks are finally winning. The division is finally getting interesting again.

Go Redwings!!

Okay, FN has the daily Shanny and Khaby thread going, where's Sundin's bald head today?

November 22, 2008  03:45 PM ET

Just say no to Burke!!

November 22, 2008  03:56 PM ET

Wow. This is the dumbest thing that I have ever read. This wasn't even about Khabibulin.
