Winnepeg, Rangers, and St. Louis all confirm they made no moves today.

bustaheims said:Jolly good show chaps said:So how long after the deadline is the latest we'd hear about a trade? Guessing that as long as the paperwork is lodged before 3pm they could be announced anytime today?
It can take a couple hours. Usually, most deals are out there by aroudn 4 or so.

Doesn't seem like that right now, never say never I guess.

When things are busy, or the trades are somewhat complex and take more time with central registry and such. Also, sometimes, teams hold off on announcing moves until they can inform the players involved.

Leafs did not make a trade today.

I'm surprised that none of PAP/Grabner/Boyes were moved, even for scraps. But obviously the Leafs aren't the only ones scratching their heads a little.
Nik the Trik said:PAP's really hurt maybe? That's the only way that makes a bit of sense to me.
Nik the Trik said:Yeah, I guess. Maybe just nobody wanted Boyes/Grabner? To be honest, I can't really get a read on the Leafs right now. Trading Reimer seems like it was aggressive but doing nothing on anyone but UFA's indicates maybe they weren't so much?

Nik the Trik said:I wonder if maybe the Leafs bought into the "Grrr, we're not going to just give players" away mentality Burke was talking about.
Significantly Insignificant said:but when you look at something like the Phanuef deal, did they really gain a whole lot by waiting one more year?

Maybe, but PAP? Then again, with the way things went today, I guess that's possible. This where the soft market came into play, I suppose.
