Sources say Saggy is close to landing winger John McFarland in a blockbuster swap with Sudbury.
Earlier this week, Wolves GM Blaine Smith told me rumours of an impending trade involving McFarland and Marcus Foligno are "ridiculous."
Today, Saggy GM Todd Watson told me there is "zero truth" to the McFarland rumours.
We'll see. The Spirit are making a run for it this year. The Wolves are rebuilding.
It's more a matter of when McFarland is traded, not if. And when looks real soon.
The Rangers would love to add McFarland, younger brother of former Ranger Paul McFarland.
The Rangers are a top Centre and defensive defenceman away from contending. Probably a 1B goalie to go with option 1A Maxwell too.

Stop referring to us as "Saggy". If you are in Saginaw covering a Rangers game, I dare you to refer to Saginaw as "Saggy" and see how people react. I know you think it's a cute nickname but we have one nickname and one nickname only, it's Sagnasty. We're the most violent city in America 7 years running which makes us far from "Saggy." We're a blue collar town and we finally have a blue collar team. I've read "Saggy" here before and I hope I don't have to read it again. Thanks.

Saggy is a better nickname than Doug Flutie.
