SOUP GOSSIP!

We haven't posted on this because we've been afraid of jinxes and curses and the like.

Normally I try to stay ten and a half miles away from endorsing anything that comes from a news organ with the word "sun" in its name, but I just can't resist sharing this item from the Ottawa Sun with anyone who (like us) is starving for Thrashers-specific news and rumors:

It's believed the Thrashers, who need to make a splash to get more interest in their marketplace, could be willing to offer in excess of $7 million US per season to sign Campbell, but the Rangers are going to make a hard pitch.

Brian Campbell + bottomless well of money in the Thrashers' backyard = playoffs
