Alright, this is from hockeybuzz.com so take it as you wish but it's rumored to be almost dead on to what the trade is that we have on the table here:
Okay, I actually have a source (works for Hurricanes) that tells me that the following deal is in place and is waiting for one of the players to waive his no trade rights.
To Philly: D Nik Wallin (CAR) LW Raffi Torres (EDM)
To Carolina RW Geoffrey Lupul (EDM) D Joni Pitkanen (PHI) Draft pick from EDM
To Edmonton LW Erik Cole
He told me that Geoff Sanderson could end up in Carolina also but he wasn't sure. The deal makes sense to me and doesn't appear to be far fetched. It was posted by a reader on there and not by one of the writers like Eklund, etc. Just thought I'd post it when I found it.

Whatever they do, I just hope they do it soon. And leave the top two goalies alone too.

If it's not done by Saturday or Sunday it probably won't be done and JR will find another deal and/or free agency to get what he wants.

That's what the rumor is, is that a good thing?

Well...he played really well in Anaheim but had a lot of pressure on him in Edmonton so didn't preform very well. He is a good player and he has been working really hard on his game this summer.

Hmmm, that could be interesting then. But I really don't like the giving up Cole part of this equation....that makes me sad. :-(

I thought we already doused the Erik Cole rumor?
... this is making me nervous.

It just keeps rearing it's ugly head Mel.... don't be nervous... I bet whatever this "thing" is after waiting this long, it either doesn't happen at all or it's going to be something completely different than we are all hearing....

That's what JR and Lowe are saying but it's popping up again and people are saying it is true and they're keeping it quiet. Whether that's true or not is anyone's guess and it sucks waiting. :-(

Honestly, I'll trust JR because of the job he has, rather than trust people who wish they had his job.

The N&O Blog is now mentioning that Karmanos may try to dump some salary to make room for someone to acquire after Sunday...scary thought, eh?

I wonder who we'd get rid of to dump salary and save money??
...this is the longest, most boring waiting gave EVER. :eyetwitch:
