Report: Horton on the outs?

Eit88z_medium
Panthers center-turned-winger-turned-center-turned-injured-winger Nathan Horton (above, left) may be on the trade block, according to the Ottawa Sun via The Fourth Period. Also included in the rumors were still-ineffective winger Rusty Olesz and forward Brett McLean (who was without doubt the best player on Florida's side of the ice last night against Boston).

TFP's awesome Dave Pagnotta weighs in with his take.

Personally I've guessed Horton's been shopped by GMJM for weeks now (insane Litter Box trade-of-the-year: Vokoun/Horton/Bouwmeester for Luongo/Sedins...you heard it here first. Back to my tequilla.).

As for Olesz, I'd be surprised he'll be moved due to Jacques Martin's love affair with his slow progress. Dumping McLean makes no sense. Shows up every night, regardless of the final stats.

Oh that is a glorious picture

I need to remember to put the beverage down before I pull your site up. Horton looks even stranger after I coughed coffee on my screen.

The Islanders will take Horton off your hands. But we probably can’t pay the Milbury rate anymore … sorry, new policy and all.

You mean Olli and Roberto weren’t enough?

Ever since Olli/Roberto, all new purchases above a 4th-round pick have to be approved by Accounting.
