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

[CopenhagenWing 38]

The parity era has really destroyed the trade deadline. The teams are too even and the cap is too high.

The NHL needs to either push the deadline back another 10 to 14 days or revamp the points system.

As far as the Wings go, I hope they stay away from Nash.

i can't wait to see the wings do absolutely nothing today. so glad they have all that cap space.

Sharks pursuing JvR. Nothing else new. Pretty slow day so far, and I'm sick to boot.

As long as San Jose doesn't get rick Nash that's fine. Jvr is a young pure scorer but knowing their luck they'll still never get to the Cup.

Does anyone have a TradeCentre stream?

Isles taking offers for P.A. Parenteau, but not Nabokov per Dreger.

I'm listening to TSN Toronto: http://www.tsn.ca/toronto/listen/

I am really hoping the Wings pick up a forward. Holland said he's looking for one. Lets hope he can get one for the right price.

Thank you!

Also for those interested, Yahoo is running a Sportsnet stream.

Sorry for the lack of updates this weekend. I was in the process of drywalling my basement. That being said, I'll be in front of my computer all day and will be updating as fast as possible through the end of the deadline.

It's been a while since I heard this but some no name on TSN just came up with the line " it could be the Wings last run at the cup " Haven't they been saying this for 5 years? 10 years?

"Sounds like NHL GM's and fans are doing what most parents do with their kids- Over-rate their talent. Let's show some stones, people"

thanks, Mac. I will be checking this thread for your updates. Hope the drywall went up easy!

I would love Holland to make any kind of trade just to shut you up.

[Tim.D 176]

Caps may be clearing up space for a trade by putting Backstrom on LTIR.

Bruce Garrioch thinks the asking price for PA Parenteau last night was a first rounder. That would have been a better trade for us than giving up a first for Q.

I posted this in rumours but I may as well add to the discussion here. The Isles are taking offers on Parenteau. Do you think that Detroit should make a pitch for him?

It'll cost either a first rounder or a first rounder and a prospect. And yes they should. He'd be a great second line scorer at already a point per game.

don't get your hopes up, pal.

[Tim.D 176]

And now Sportsnet's John Shannon says he's not available.

I'm considering offering you to the Jackets board in return for one fan who has been patient through all of their misery and would appreciate the s*** out of rooting for a team like the Wings. But I wouldn't do that to them, hell, I wouldn't even wish you on the Sharks.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

I'm a Wings fan. I have high hopes by default.

Hope it's a case of crossed wires. The more I think about it, the more I'd like him in Detroit.

[drumnj 459]

I got TSN (NHLNet) going on my site. It's at a lower bitrate, so it should work even if you're work internet is kind of slow.

Peca saying Gaustad likely to be dealt. Detroit an obvious possible destination #TradeCentre

[mmorland 16]

I have a feeling Holland will get a forward, but it will be a name that hasn't been mentioned before.
