Just this week Stevie Y of Detroit Red Wing and that sick goal from the blue line during the Stanley Cup Playoffs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyP76Z3oQxM) became the General Manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning. It's been a big year in Florida for new GM's, with Dale Tallon (the guy who helped build this year's Blackhawks) being introduced as the Panthers new GM as well. Both franchises could benefit from the signings, or fall even further into hockey suckdom. Tallon's got a penchant for risky moves with huge returns, and Yzerman is arguably untested, this is his first stint as an NHL GM.
Upon hearing the news Glen Sather, GM of the New York Rangers, proceeded to give a call to the new Lightning GM to discuss the possibility of Vincent Lecavalier coming to the Rangers. After being told that a trade involving Vinny would be unlikely, Sather reportedly submitted a request for a semen sample from the formerly top tier center having said, "Fine, we'll just make our own Vincent Lecavalier". Though many people within both organizations have informed him that cloning a duplicate of the forward would not only be impossible, but would not be completed until long after his death, Sather refused to listen to reason.
Yzerman refused to produce a sample, and there are now rumors circulating that the two teams may be in talks for a sample from Steve Downie. The asking price is high, and the return quite low, so we can all be excited to see Henrik Lundqvist in Tampa Bay next season, and a new Steve Downie fetus being sported in the newly refurbished MSG.
