Andrej Meszaros and The Quest for more Cash

Just a quick update so I, as most of the other Sens blogs, can also cash in on the Meszaros circus that has been going on in the past few days.

It seems that our favorite Slovak is on the verge of signing with Tampa Bay. Of course, the 8-ball has already confirmed this to be true yesterday, but I've got a few things I'd like to ask the little black sphere of mystery about what happens next. Here goes:

Q: With the picks Murray is bound to receive from Tampa, will he flip them for another defenseman in a trade?

A: Definitely

Sweet. But who is available out there? Mathieu Schneider? Or maybe Brent Seabrooke seeing as the Hawks are over the cap, and need to shed some salary? Murray has already stated he wouldn't look to trade for another d-man but who am I to contradict my ball? Last time I did it refused to give me any other answer then "Ask Again Later" for three weeks. And this was during the playoffs!

Stay tuned!

Back to School

Hey folks and folkettes, I'm back with another installment of "Ask the 8-Ball - Back to School Edition".

I know most of my readers are either unemployed, work part-time at Dunkin Donuts or are at home nursing a summer thumb injury from playing too much GTA 4(well, at least that's what I told my employer, but I switched "playing GTA" with "helping serve soup at the local homeless shelter"), so I'm sure y'all have been waiting for me to update this blog with some juicy rumors. Well, tough, I have a life. But nonetheless, here is a new slab of questions for the ball, which has been slowly getting over a bad case of listeria from eating too much baloney.

Here we go!

Q: Will Andreij Meszaros finally sign with the Senators???

A: Outlook not so good

ORLY!

Q: Is the rumor of Tampa Bay sending an offer sheet for Mez's services true?

A: Yes.

Interesting, but I'm wondering how we will manage without his point production as well as Redden's!

Q: Is signing an offensive defenseman realistic at this point?

A: My sources say no.

Yikes. Looks like we'll have to manage. On to another subject.

Q: Will Nikulin make the big team this year?

A: My sources say no.

But....but....he has that amazing blog and we all want to see him play in Ottawa!

Q: Will he at least get called up?

A: My sources say no.

Jebus! That sucks. And how about giving me an original answer 8-Ball!

A: Yes.

Ugh.

Allright, final question:

Q: Will the Ottawa Senators make the playoffs this season?

A: Maybe.

Nice.

Well, that's it for now. Stay tuned for the next episode in which I will juggle the 8-Ball while balancing my mother-in-law on my chin. Good times!

D. out!
