Don't.. Save it for the day after the first playoff game.
We all may need the day off.

A number of GMs have said the same things. 20 or so teams that think they're still in it, all asking about the same handful of players. Sellers thinking they can drive up the price because of it. None of it's surprising (or, really, unprecedented), but, unless there's a little more separation created in the next 2 weeks, trade deadline day is probably going to be pretty boring.

If memory serves, weren't we also expecting a slow deadline day this time last year - for the opposite reason? I recall, oodles of trades by this time last year and a bunch of folks thinking there wouldn't be anybody left by the deadline... My, what a difference.

Probably not. Even with the higher prices, teams will really value the cap space and flexibility that picking up a rental provides.
Have fun on deadline day, TSN/Sportsnet.

He could still be dealt, but, that certainly doesn't help his value.

Certainly, but I don't think Rutherford deals with if it isn't for full value.

Probably not, unless he knows there's no chance at re-signing him.
Or, you know, maybe not.
DarrenDreger: Because of interest in resigning him and now injury, Tuomo Ruutu is no longer a trade option.

DarrenDreger: Zidlicky has said he would waive to go to NJD, however, Wild hasn't asked him to...yet, and may not trade him until the summer says source.

Tomas Plekanec, who has been with the Canadiens his entire NHL career, has been the subject of talks with several teams. While the Canadiens have dropped out of the playoff hunt and are looking forward to next season, they want an established player in return for Plekanec, preferably a winger with some size.
While Plekanec said Friday that he wasn?t aware of being the subject of any trade talks, The Gazette has learned that the player?s agent let it be known earlier this month that the veteran centre would be willing to waive the no-trade clause which was part of the six-year, $30-million deal he signed in 2010.
Interesting... If the Canadiens would deal with us, I'd be willing to pick him up and trade Grabbo, but that's me.
