RFA Drama in Sens land

Good afternoon,

Well, with Vermette's Arbitration hearing coming ever so closer, rumors are floating everywhere that he will crack and sign or that Murray will crack and put in another offer. Either way, what I am hearing from a variety of sources is somewhat conflicting.

First, this morning I heard that Vermette has no intention of going to his hearing and was mulling over Murray's latest offer and we could see him signed within the next 24 hours; whereas at approximately 1:30 p.m. this afternoon, I was just told that Murray and Mezaros are nearing an agreement and that the details are being ironed out as I type this and that an announcement could be imminent. I've heard that the deal could be in the $3.5M range, where the term has not been given or 'leaked' yet.

Also, at the same time, a few websites are also reporting that Vermette will INDEED proceed to his hearing and come what may... Interesting times indeed, whether these 'rumors' are true or not, I expect something to be announced in Sens land within the next 48-72 hours.

Stay tuned...
