When I originally started doing research for this story, it was all quiet in the office of one Chuck Fletcher. The trade rumors surrounding the d-corps wafted in the summer breeze, we listened for pings from our Twitter feeds, and Mike Russo was crouched in attack position. There were very few certainties to look at this off-season, but “facts can be so misleading. But rumors, true or false, are often revealing.” This off-season thus far, the only certainties were: Erik Haula and Alex Tuch are going to be playing hockey in the desert. And then on the eve of Free Agency, the phones arose such a clatter, and Jason Pominville with Marco Scandella were sent to Buffalo, and for some that was the matter.
Fletcher going deep...real deep, prior to Free Agency
