2012 NHL Trade Deadline Thread - February 27th, 3:00 PM ET

Ditto. Blocks shots, not afraid of anybody... and he wins faceoffs. I would like him here.

Except for Milan Lucic

It has been so slow.... In years past nothing came out until hours after... Will be a long afternoon.

110 users reading this thread. Looks like everyone is F5'ing for the latest. Only 3 more hours and 10 minutes to go.

I hope we make a deal and it involves dumping Kindl.

I disagree the bottom 6 have been great, its the top 6 that needs the shake up.

You're not likely to get both. Theoretically easier to get the plug on the lower line (and the special teams depth), than it is to get that top 6 scorer. Limited supply, high demand... High prices. They've already dealt their 1st this year and I can't see them dipping into 2013 without it being a major player coming back.

The Sportsnet coverage is available through the NHL.com press room section in addition to the Sportsnet website. The NHL.com video is working better for me FWIW.

Isles not offering Parenteau enough in contract, asking too much for him in trade. Risk losing him for nothing July 1.

[Red Wings Addict 787]

Except for Milan Lucic

Gaustad isn't afraid of Lucic. He just can't really beat him in a fight is all.

[Shaman 713]

Seems the sabers want a first rounder for gaustad

[Tim.D 176]

I guess Vokoun left because practice was ending. Still hasn't been asked to waive NMC.

[VM1138 1,921]

We need both but we are likely only tp plug the 4th lone center spot. Grabovski would be a great pickup even at a slightly

steep price.

Sportsnet saying Det is in competition with Van for players. Det is looking mainly at 3rd/4th liners- Gaustad and D. Jones mentioned.

Kypreos says Wings desperately want to do something/believe they have shot at Cup/will go with dueling banjos vs. Vancouver...

[Tim.D 176]

Allen and Spacek have left ice. Don't think anything until we confirm practice has not ended.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

That is bad news. If were in competition with Vancouver for players, we won't get them. Gillis will sell the farm for marginal pieces this year.

2nd round pick and pulkkinen for steve ott .... would anyone do it??

Poile says he's "Not Trading Suter" via Pierre LeBrun on Twitter.

Danke, was about to edit that in when I realized the pasting missed it.

Well, that potentially increases names thrown out there. Vancouver's been looking at Steve Ott and Dustin Brown, too. Not convinced Detroit is looking at those two, but they'd fit the mold of what the team may be looking for (though there's always the asking price, seems a little rich for me).

@Aportzline: #CBJ senior adviser Craig Patrick they have "more than 15" offers to consider on a handful of players, but "we don't like any of them yet." Edited February 27, 2012 by Tim.D

the good thing with those 2 guys are they are locked up for 2 more years at a respectable 3 mill cap hit ... so not just a rental

[redwingfan19 293]

3 Hrs away!

[Tim.D 176]

Canadiens claim Brad Staubitz on re-entry from MIN.

[rage 24]

I just hope we drive Vancouver price up on who ever they get. And hopefully Holland deals with his buddies in Buffalo. I think we have the advantage over other teams if similar offers are made to Buffalo.

No, too much upside associated with Pulkkinen to trade him for a rental. Although, I'm sure Dallas would take that offer.
