Trade deadline 3PM EST

With the deadline less than six hours away and the Canes having a plethora of defencemen, look for good ole JR to try and swing a deal. I for one think that Carolina needs to stand pat and let the season roll. For other trades, TSN will have news all day long on their site (http://www.tsn.ca/)

Trades that have already taken place and one that I think were not a good one is the Keith Tkachuk going to the Atlanta Thrashers. I believe that Don Waddell mortgaged the team and that nothing really will come of it. Tkachuk did not do anything impressive last night and I do not see Atlanta making the playoffs this season.

Phil-Detroit-Chicago – Calder to Detroit, Jason Williams to Chicago and Lasse Kukkonen to the Flyers

Canucks get two – Sopel from LA for draft pick; Smolinski from Chicago for draft pick

Update 11:45 AM EST:

Gary Roberts to Pens for Noah Welch

Martin Biron to Flyers for draft pick

Buffalo picks up Ty Conklin to Buffalo and Blue Jackets get TBA

Update 12:40 PM EST:

Pens send Dan Carcillo and 8th rdp to Phoenix for George Laraque

Isles get Ryan Smyth from Oilers

I will try and keep this updated, but it depends on how work goes.
