On the Prowl

It's no surprise that a certain select-GM is circling the trading perimeter, gauging what his fellow select-GMs are up to and what they want or need. It's no surprise that he can smell blood; opportunity to pounce when the time is right.

That select-GM, is once again African Lion Safari.

Looking for something, my dear Safari?

Rumors inside the V have been swirling, and the word has been that trade proposals have been flying around, all initiated or stemming from Camp Safari. A notorious, dedicated Leaf fan, it's been rumored that Safari is seeking some Blue for his team, and has approached Sitch for support.

"What can I say? I love my Leafs," said Safari, on record. "But that's as far as I'll go."

For now. But who knows what the coming weeks will bring? Sources say that Safari has engaged in ongoing talks with Sitch for Kadri, but Sitch is reluctant to hand off the young centre.

"Me so satisfied with Sitch team," said Sitch, post carbo-load and pre work-out. "I don't need anything presently. I focused my body and mind prior to and during that draft; I'm confident with my team and, as of this moment, I'm not looking to part ways with any team personnel.

"That being said, anything is possible. I'm just saying: if someone wants to trade with me, it will have to be substantial, because I don't feel the need to buy or sell."

"He's a liar," said Dick Burns. "Sitch is always a buyer - of creatine."

Wise words, Dick.
