Official 2011 Trade Deadline Thread

[Mr.Baller]

* There are rumors out there that the Devils may have a claim in for Souray....

*However, this morning there have been several people telling me how they feel the Leafs may actually now have the pieces needed to land Schenn from the Kings...and that they are hearing the Kings may be more open to it than previously thought. So I am tracking this.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I would love to land Schenn. I have heard similar rumours too.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

However, sources say the Dallas Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins may be working on a deal involving two high quality players.

It's believed the Pens are willing to move defenceman Alex Goligoski for the right forward, and a trade involving Stars winger James Neal has been discussed.

This deadline is actually looking really good so far, as for Richards he's always been one of my favorite players but I can't see him doing much in Toronto.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Him and Kessel would be deadly. I could easily see Kessel scoring 40-45 with Richards at centre.

schenn in toronto would be soooo sick

I know, I would give up Kadri in a heartbeat to get Brayden.

The New York Rangers are still looking for a D-man. It will be interesting to see if they re-visit a deal that almost went down with Florida’s Bryan McCabe several weeks ago.

A broken jaw to McCabe prevented the trade from happening but multiple sources confirm a deal was in place between Florida and the Rangers. Panthers GM Dale Tallon would love to still move McCabe who will take full advantage of his no-move clause. Word is McCabe is very selective as to where he would go.

The Phaneuf trade keeps looking worse and worse on Sutter

RT @TSNBobMcKenzie: CGY puts Niklas Hagman on waivers. EDM's Sheldon Souray clears re-entry waivers.

 

[Mr.Baller]

Got some sources tellin me that maybe the Preds will get hagman

[Phil The Thrill]

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said today he may be about to pull the trigger on yet another deal, one that would bring in a defenceman to replace the departed Francois Beauchemin and Tomas Kaberle.

“We’re trying to add by tomorrow if we can," Burke said. "We’re trying to put a player in the lineup as soon as possible.

“We’ve had some discussions about forwards that we have to consider, but it’s not our priority. Our priority will be to add a defenceman."

[fletch]

I doubt it's Boggs, but if it is maa god, imagine Burke pulled a miracle and brought him+schenn in.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Better not be some random hack for the third round pick we acquired from Philly.Really hoping we package the firsts.

 

[fletch]

This draft isn't that deep so it would be a good idea.

 

[LeafsFan4Life]

I hope the Leafs keep the firsts. There are quite a few players that will go in the late 1st round that I would love to have on the Leafs.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Not trade talk, but Ladd is close to an extension.

Chris Vivlamore

Andrew Ladd says he and #Thrashers are close to new contract. Still some details to finalize.

On Phillips...

I have now talked to three sources in the last few hours who are convinced Chris Phillips will not only waive his No Trade, he will do so to accept a trade to the neighboring Canadiens after which he will return to Ottawa this summer.

There are rumors the Habs were in on Kaberle as well as Goligoski and are now firmly entrenched in an attempt to land Phillips. Must admit, the trade makes a ton of sense.

The Rangers also like Phillips, but I do believe in the end Montreal lands him.

Meanwhile more teams wanting the Blues...

In St. Louis, there are two forwards drawing a great deal of interest.

The Penguins and Devils have interest in Andy McDonald. The scouts all recall his outstanding playoff run for Anaheim a few years back...

Also garnering attention with his strong play as of late is Brad Boyes. So far Montreal (e3), Buffalo (e3) and Washington (e2).

Adam Foote??

If there is a more consummate professional defenseman who would add depth to your D, and bring strong leadership to your room...I don't think you are topping Adam Foote.

Obviously Foote loves Colorado, but he is also a fierce competitor and would probably have a hard time turning away a legit shot. I have heard the Penguins, Flyers, and Rangers are all considering Foote.
