Trade Rumor: Chuck for Nik?

Okay, here's a silly trade rumor - Chuck Kobasew for Nik Antropov...recently snatched by me from the boards. I don't think there is a shred of evidence to back it quite frankly, but I just want to put it out there so you may marvel at the absurdity. I mean really...why would Sutter trade for a slower, more lumbering and frequently inconsistent player like Antropov? Especially if he had to give up Kobasew? Given Chuck's potential and impressive AHL numbers last year (plus a stronger supporting cast at the NHL level this year), this looks to be his "break-out" season. So yeah...no go on this trade. But funny that it's floating around out there.
