Hartnell was almost traded to Edmonton for Sheldon Souray last season

Saw this on euroflyer's twitter. Obviously discussion worthy.

Quote:
Edmonton Oilers GM Steve Tambellini pulled out a trade that would have sent Sheldon Souray to the Philadelphia Flyers for Scott Hartnell, who had agreed to waive his no-movement clause to come to Edmonton, an Edmonton TV sportscaster, Kevin Karius of Global, says.

Karius's report, which makes it clear that Tambellini pulled out of the deal, is supported somewhat by an Edmonton Journal report from Jim Matheson, who wrote, "Sources indicate the Oilers were working on a Sheldon Souray trade last season to the Philadelphia Flyers for winger Scott Hartnell, but the deal didn't come off. The veteran defenceman remains in limbo, with two years left on his contract, and is anxious to be dealt to another team."

Karius's report was unsourced, but far more detailed.
