Dreger: Guerin, Islanders wait on mystery team's decision

The waiting game continues for Bill Guerin and Derek Morris.

However, in Guerin's case, sources say the Islanders forward now knows who the team is and Guerin and Islanders' general manager Garth Snow are both waiting for that team to make its final decision to close the deal.

The identity of this mystery team is being concealed in fear the trade will fall apart.

Final confirmation would end a saga that started when Guerin was pulled out of the Islanders lineup after the warm up and before Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres.

BILL'S TAKE: Last night's win over the Sabres sure was interesting, huh? You had the plucky Islanders still playing hard and the intrigue of the Islanders captain being pulled from warm-ups and a night of speculation from Howie & Billy.

As of the time I am typing this, Point Blank is reporting that the beat writer from the Capitals (they're down 5-1 right now vs. Florida) is not Guerin's destination. So that means the heavy speculation is to Montreal.

We'll have more on this as new breaks. Sad to see Guerin go, of course, but maybe a real prospect and a pick would make us feel better.

Also, last night on Hockey Night in Canada, they had a Tavares update. The Isles are currently 48% percent likely to land the first overall pick in the entry draft.
