I could be wrong, I hope I'm wrong but I have always had some kind of working sixth sense. There is something about the Rick Nash trade possibility I'm not convinced the Wings aren't pursuing. I have no inside info, I didn't talk to a guy who knows someone who lived in Ken Holland's old neighborhood, it's just a hunch that either they trade for him or we find out much later they tried very very hard (and came close) to land Nash.

We'll see, right now it's an uneasy pensive feeling.

It wouldn't surprise me at this point. Last I heard, the Preds were the frontrunners for him, so that throws out the whole "no trading within the division" stuff.

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?

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]

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.

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