Trade rumours swirl around Patrick Sharp

Thunder Bay's Patrick Sharp is rumoured to be on the trading block. He's barely had any time to savour his Stanley Cup victory with the Chicago Blackhawks and now there's talk he could end up in Toronto or even with Columbus. Sharp says he's under contract with the Blackhawks, but understands that with the salary cap some players may not be coming back. He says we'll have to see what happens in the next couple of days. Meantime for Sharp there's no better feeling than winning the Stanley Cup. He says it's something he's dreamed about since he was 7 years old. He adds that winning the Cup for the fans in Chicago was something special and that the 2 million fans that lined the victory parade route was a record turnout for any sports parade in the Windy City. Sharp is not sure when he'll get the Stanley Cup, but plans to bring it to Thunder Bay when he does.
