Only half a day away till the Olympic trade freeze thaws and several deals are expected. I'm excited because I'm hearing of a lot of action that may go down tonight or tomorrow and should flow into deadline day.
Great Olympics for the Slovaks. I thought they deserved last nights game and found my self cheering for them once again. Jaroslav Halak has been a factor in their rise giving them hope each game with a legitimate goalie. He showcased his talent on a world stage and could push Price out the door. Pavel Demetra was also impressive and the Canucks should be happy and excited with this outburst of offense. The only ones who suffered from the Slovaks rise is the New York Rangers who now own and injured Marian Gaborik.
*-> The Washington Capitals and the St Louis Blues have been talking recently and some are saying its in regards to ether Andy McDonald or Paul Kariya. Another option is Ty Conklyn so help solve the Caps goaltending worries.
*-> Many are saying the Edmonton Oilers and the Montreal Canadians have a deal implace for the freeze end tonight at midnight. Many have speculated its in regards to Andrew Cogliano and Gilbert Brule but some are saying Carey Price could be a major piece headed to the Oilers. I've heard a 1st, Cogliano and an unnamed "highend" prospect for Price and Montreals 3rd and or Matt Dagostini. Another rumor concerning this deal is that it is a 3 way deal including Dallas or I've also heard LA involved. Rumors still having Price to Edmonton but the rest is a mere guess. Many are saying that Brunstrom could a be piece of the puzzle if Dallas or Frolov if LA. Ill stay on this.
*-> Another potential deal is with the Boston Bruins as mentioned and it looks more and more like Aaron Ward. Still their are some who are saying its Dan Hamhuis. If not ether of the two I'd say Joe Corvo could be the guy.
*-> The Pittsburgh Penguins have inquired about Raffi Torres This week leadin us to believe a deal could come soon.
*-> Last one for the moment, Florida Panther GM Randy Sexton has said he's had a ton of offers so far and a deal is in the works but its not going to be a firesale quite yet. Many teams have made calls and discussed the possible options. Atleast one has been agreed on. Tomas Vokoun has yet to be asked about waiving his no trade clause Sexton has admitted. More on this in a few hours.

Scoopz,
As hard as it is for me to believe, I keep reading that Nathan Horton's time is up in F-L-A....tough to believe they'd move him, but where there's smoke....
Have you heard anything along these lines? and where do you think he'd end up?
- Jalen
I've also heard rumors of Horton out of Florida, they keep popping up all season long and just wont go away. I think Sexton is willing to make any deal possible that can light a fire under his club. Remember when Sutter claimed he wasn't going to trade Phaneuf?
I've heard Buffalo and New York Rangers are making a big push but I'm sure the Panthers would love to move him to the West so I'm going to say Nashville or the Vancouver who are both looking to stock up.
