It is Decision Day for Gary Roberts.

The Florida Panther forward was told by General Manager Jacques Martin this morning after practice that the club had found a trade it deemed acceptable and all that is required to consummate the transaction is Roberts' waiving of his no-trade clause.

But that may be easier said than done.

Roberts had made it abundantly clear that he would only waive his no-trade clause for two teams - the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators. And sources suggest the deal the Panthers have worked out with Roberts is with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

While sources suggest Roberts is still intent on playing in only Toronto or Ottawa, he apparently is going to take some time to consider the Panthers' wishes. But that should not necessarily be confused with waiving the no-trade clause to go to Pittsburgh or anywhere else other than Toronto or Ottawa.

Roberts did not accompany the Panthers' on their flight this afternoon to Washington, but is expected to let the Panthers know later today whether he will waive the no-trade clause to go to Pittsburgh.

While Ottawa and Toronto have shown some interest in acquiring Roberts, Pittsburgh has shown the most interest. Sources say the Penguins are prepared to give up a young roster player with potential in exchange for Roberts, who is an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.

Stay tuned.

Hey, you said it!!! just kidding :)

Don't forget I play heel in Rich Stadium. ;)

I'm psyched to see Martin Levac with Turn It On Again ... and the rumours that he'll be heading up TMB for a TOTT tour later this year :) :) :)

Are you going to travel to see a TIOA show? I'm hoping for a Montreal date.

I thought TMB were doing a "black show" tour this fall. Wouldn't that preclude a TOTT tour?

Might just have to. However, I'm sure we'll be able to get them into Toronto for a gig.

True ... I'd like to see the black show since it's the one that I haven't been able to get to yet (along with one more Foxtrot please). I guess it's more like next year that they'll hopefully do the TTOT tour.
