Does anyone really think if a trade was in place at midnight last night that it wouldn't have been broken by now by McKenzie or LeBrun? Come on.

I just saw that Hackett let in 6 goals on 30 shots tonight before getting pulled, so I don't think he got called up because of his play. I wonder if Miller did get moved?
Well there is still no word on Hackett either. Not saying there was a trade but was Hackett really even called up?!?! We are taking some reporters word who all he seen was Hackett with his pads.
He's on the ice in Pittsburgh, so yes.
So have we gotten to the bottom of this? Why is he called up?
EDIT| Nevermind found it
@BillHoppeNHL: Ryan Miller (lower body) is questionable for tonight. #Sabres used goalie exemption for Hackett. Not serious, Regier said.

Matt Hackett was home in Rochester, “about to pass out,†the goalie joked, when the phone rang around midnight.
Hackett had just been shelled in the Americans’ disastrous 8-1 season-opening loss, allowing six goals on 30 shots in just 36:35 before mercifully getting yanked.
The 23-year-old wasn’t expecting a recall to the Buffalo Sabres.
“Never seen getting called up for six goals,†Hackett said this afternoon after participating in the Sabres’ optional skate.
But the Sabres needed another goalie after starter Ryan Miller (lower body) was injured in Friday’s 1-0 loss to Ottawa.
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said Miller’s injury is “nothing serious, just minor.â€
“It’s very short-term in nature,€ he said.
