Mums the Word at Camp Bodacious

It's been a news-filled day so far, with 75% of select-GMs partaking in trades. But, surprisingly, one of the most bodacious select-GMs has yet to pull any triggers. In fact, he's been quiet since reports speculated that he had been gunning for James Neal a few months back.

"I'm not a stupid man," said Burgundy. "I don't make trades for the sake of making trades. I'll make babies for the sake of making babies, but trades? That's something you have to think about. Think about with your noggin. Or as I like to say, think about with your 'oggin."

"Use your 'oggin and keep quiet."

The Fucking Randy will never understand where Burgundy gets his vocabulary, but I appreciate the entertainment it brings nonetheless.

That being said, insiders report that something must be a-brewing. TSNs Pierre LeBrun, close friend and uncomfortably admired by Burgundy, told TSN Radio that something must be going on behind closed mahogany doors.

What do you think, Pierre?

"It just seems unlikely that Burgundy would stand pat," said LeBrun. "I mean, let's not forget; this man is behind the team that was annihilating the Redemption only a few weeks ago. His team hasn't changed much - the same core is still in tact. Everyone is overreacting about Crosby's injury; Crosby will be back, and in the meantime, Burgundy still has capable Cs to cover (see Getzlaf).

"This is also the team that held sole position of the Redemption for eight weeks consecutive. No other select-GM has accomplished that. That's consistency you can't buy. I think Burgundy is playing poker-face presently; he'll have something before the deadline is over."

Dick Burns, the only labelled 'seller' at the trade deadline, could not be reached for comment.

"I don't have anything else to say on the matter, either," said Burgundy.

Really? Nothing at all?

"Well, maybe one thing: I fucking luuuuuuv Pierre LeBrun."

Wise words, dick.
