Blake Article, "Could be good fit for Wings"

PS, Anaheim doesnt have the cap space to sign Forsberg and trade for Blake.

Im calling big time BS on both those rumors. First of all, Forsberg is going to the Avs or the Flyers. He wants a multi-year contract, and the Ducks cant afford to have anyone signed to longer than a one year contract or else theyll have a hell of a time re-signing Corey Perry, and no doubt hed get poached if hes not re-signed soon.

As for Blake, that would be probably the worst BUSINESS move of all time. Anaheim and LA compete for an audience, and helping Anaheim win back to back cups will only leave LA with fewer fans than before, as all the casual fans will pile on the Anaheim back to back Champ bandwagoen. Not to mention, how is the captain of the Kings going to accept a trade to his teams biggest rival and then RE-SIGN with that team in the off-season?

"Oh sorry guys. I didnt really give a s*** about how much you all hate the enemy. I was just looking out for number one and really wanted to win a cup with the team you all hate most. Forgive me?"

I just dont see that flying. Way too many reasons that that rumor is BS..

I know. But since they have been linked to both players it needed to be said. They cant sign both, and I think Blake would want to knock the Ducks out of the playoffs, not help them succeed (did he ever say that?).

The Flyers or Nucks will sign Forsberg. Anaheim is more in the running for a rental like Sundin.

Never count Brian Burke out of anything. If he wants something, he usually gets it -- "conceivable" or not.

I hope thats sarcasm. Because a small guy with no grit and a whopping 11 goals on the season, would hurt the Wings more then it would help them.
