    Toronto should sit, or trim some fat.
    If they make a big move and diminish their remaining cap space, they'll just look like fools if they make it to the play-offs and get bounced in the first round.
    I'm a die hard Leafs fan. Burke needs 1-2 more years to assemble his team, and I would like to see Wilson gone now. The problem is, who do you replace him with? I don't dislike Wilson, but he's not getting results from this group of guys.
    It's so hard to watch........

    Nash will probably go to the Rangers - they have the cap space, and he would make them even more of a force in the play-offs.

    JMHO.
    I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired... Hey I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.......

    Activity on the deadline has steadily been decreasing over the past few seasons. I can't see this being a very exciting day.

    Vancouver just freed up a little over 4 mill in cap space putting Ballard on LTIR. Most other fans think he is overpaid to begin with and want him traded. I've always been a fan of him.

    It's so sad to see this teams fans think we can get every other team's big name for nothing (backup, 3rd liner, and a 1st round pick)

    We already have a pretty solid lineup, just need maybe one more defenseman that can play top 4 and 2nd liner when injuries to our other guys happen. And they will. I'm not saying any names since that would be absurd, I don't like speculating on anybody.

    Last year we got Higgins and Lapierre, they were really good pick ups for us. Higgins brought some extra scoring and Lapierre was a pest.

    I expect them to get a grittier forward...however i always thought their big mistake was not getting a grittier forward last off season to play with the Sedins. if anything they should have learned from the finals is that the twins will just continue to get pushed around and be intimidated...or at least thats kind of how I see it.

    Sounds like the Kostitsyns are being reunited in Nashville.

    Andrei Kostityyn is about to join his brother in Nashville. First trade of the day.

    I hate when the trade deadline falls on a day I have off. I'm just going to get suckered into the snoozefest again.

    Traded for rights to A. Radulov. MTL going to attempt to pry him out of Russia I guess.
    I always liked Radulov. He could have been something special in the NHL, but the way he spurned his team for big money turns me off of him. Good for Montreal if they can get him playing, but I'll continue to have a bag taste in my mouth regarding him evermore.

    Gotta love deadline day!!! I haven't worked on one in about 15 years.

    I think the Caps may be pretty active. They just put Backstrom on long term IR and freed up about 7 Mil in cap space. Hamrlik is on the way out (good riddance), they say Knuble (hope not) is going too. I'd like to see Schultz and Ward moved.

    They need more depth down the middle, wouldn't be surprised if they got Gagner. Like to see Nash in a Caps jersey!!!

    Here's a preemptive congrats for whichever team nabs Oduya. He's a quality player that'll help with a playoff push.

    Montreal did not obtain the rights to Radulov, they got a couple of draft picks.

    Yeah, sportsnet reported that initially. Guess it was purely speculation.

    In return for Kostitsyn, Preds deal 2nd rd pick in 2013 plus return the conditional pick they got in Hal GIll trade

    I'm hoping the Hawks can pull off a move for a center or a d-man; a solid second line center or d-man, no garbage. We've been under water for too damn long and bowman needs to get something done...I am at a loss for words as to how bad this team plays after winning 4 in a row against some awesome teams. :x

    Oilers are saying that Gagner is not available. How about the 10 Mil that Hemsky got, that is fucked up!!

    I can see him being a good fit there.
