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

[Tim.D 176]

Jets also claim Clitsome. All other players that were on waivers supposedly clear.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

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).

I like Brown, Ott, and Gaustad. There has been a lot said about Ott's attitude on here, but IMO the A on his jersey is enough for me. I'm okay with a pest on the ice if the player is not a pest in the locker room.

Well I am getting some fillings here at the dentist lol. So fun fun on trade deadline day!! Come on Stafford pom, Leopold Gus, any of u guys would be awesome.

[Hockey13Playa 240]

Very boring deadline so far. Yawnnnnnn.

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

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

he's not a rental , ott is locked up for another 2 years

[Tim.D 176]

Due to Jets claiming Clitsome, Oduya may be moved soon.

worst deadline of all time

[Hockey13Playa 240]

Winnipeg Jets just claimed Grant Clitsome off waivers from Columbus per NHL network.

I just can't imagine who the Wings could trade that would make it worth LA's while to trade their captain and one of their leading goal scorers (tied for 1st with Kopi). If LA trades away Brown Id' think it would have to be for a big offensive name.

Ah, my mistake. Still wouldn't part with Pulkkinen for Ott.

[Hockey13Playa 240]

I agree its up there. One deal so far and its only noon. Ugh.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

I think the trades will start to pick up around one. It seems that sellers are overvaluing their players, but the prices may have to decrease for anything to get done before the deadline.

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

Ah, my mistake. Still wouldn't part with Pulkkinen for Ott.

gotta take a chance though with lidstrom still here .... and we still got jarnkrok,smith,jurco,nyquist,sheahan waiting to come up

[jollymania 162]

Ott talk is picking up apparently.

[Hockey13Playa 240]

Burke just said Grabovski is off the market per NHL phone conversation on NHL network. 100% for sure no moving him.

[Tim.D 176]

"No chance" Grabvoski gets traded today per Burke.

[Zion 93]

Wow! Been waiting to get home from work to check this all day and ONE TRADE???

[IrishWing19 6]

Word coming out of Dallas is they are looking for a roster player, someone to help them now.

I'm all for taking a risk, but I don't think Ott is the kind of player you trade a top-prospect for, now if we're talking about Rick Nash my position changes.

[Frozen-Man 144]

Ott talk is picking up apparently.

Not doubting you but where did you hear that?

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

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

I'm so glad the Nash trade to Nashville didn't go through. Not only would that keep him in our division but even worse, it would likely seal the deal for both Weber and Suter to stay in NSH given their owner would essentially be giving the green light to become a cap team.

[Rivalred 630]

Input on why folks are pulling for Gaustad over Roy?

[jollymania 162]

Allen and Spacek not in Canes dressing room after practice.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Different roles. While I'm sure most here would like Roy, the cost for Gaustad is likely much lower. Also, Gaustad provides grit to the bottom six.

Thanks.
