NHL Trade Deadline: Central Division Winners and Losers

The trade deadline was, for the most part, uneventful. There were still some dealings, but the excitement of the trade deadline was lessened by the lack of sellers on the market this season.

Every team in the NHL Central, except for Detroit, had a deal set in stone before the Monday deadline.

There was not any huge player dealt, but Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis, and Columbus all got skaters that they hope will benefit them this season and possibly for seasons to come.

Here are the NHL trade deadline winners and losers for the NHL Central.

I’ll Tell You This: Sports Rumor Mill – Dungy, Gruden, Quinn, and More!

In this week’s “I’ll Tell You This” I jump into the realm of the Sports Rumor Mill. Take a look and brew up some comments or rumors of your own!

1. Tony Dungy to Return to Coaching?

Recent rumors have placed Tony Dungy back at the helm of the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers as early as next season. Tampa Bay is 0-5, and has shown no signs of life this season, and its coach, Raheem Morris, is no doubt on the hot seat.

There seemingly will be a change in Tampa in the next couple of years, if not before.

(For the latest on Kellen Winslow’s current spat with Browns’ management, visit the Cleveland Browns news page or read the post specifically regarding Kellen Winslow being upset, and Romeo Crennel’s reaction.)

It has been a great week for the Cleveland Browns, beginning Monday night with the 35-14 victory over the New York Giants, and moving into today when Eric Wright was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. (And, of course, there was the humorous viral story about Braylon Edwards and his Penn State shirt.) However, there is still one cloud hanging over the Cleveland Browns: the status of their outstanding tight end Kellen Winslow.

Last week, we piggy-backed on a few reports about the mysterious illness that landed Kellen Winslow in the hospital and forced him to miss the Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. We even attempted our own photoshop-style humor to illustrate the purported symptoms being experienced by Kellen Winslow over the weekend.

Well, the good news is that Kellen Winslow is out of the hospital. In fact, he was released on Monday before the beginning of the Browns-Giants tilt. What is still a mystery is what landed Kellen Winslow there in the first place, and why he remains at home receiving treatment and not on the practice field with his teammates preparing for Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins.

According to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, per Cleveland.com, Romeo Crennel had the following to say regarding the current status of Kellen Winslow:

“I spoke with him and he’s doing well. I’m hopeful he’ll play, but there’s no guarantee. If things keep progressing, he’ll be there to help us try to win the game.”
