Ice Scoopz: Trade Deadline Day 17

*-> All is quiet on the Ottawa front. It might go down to the wire for the Sens. It looks like they may stand pat with only an hour left. I'm quite surprised to not have seen even a minor deal out of them by now. Murray may be tied up with contract talks with Volchenkov. At this point they need a goalie and can forget about the puck moving defenseman for now. Enver Lisin could be a cheap quick solution to the offense problem as hes on waivers now, can provide a little offense and has that blazing speed.

*-> The Keith Tkachuk situation is still stalled, he has yet to waive his no trade clause but a deal is on the table it's reported by the Bruins. St Louis wants that first out of Boston and may be willing to part with a prospect to sweeten the deal. Some are saying Boyes.

*-> Atlanta's Maxim Afinoganov is reportedly out of the trade picture as they wish to keep him in Atlanta. Atlanta is looking to make a big deal involving the Devils 1st round draft pick they acquired in the Ilya Kovalchuk deal.

*-> It's rumored Calgary has just traded backup Curtis Mcelhnney for a mid draft pick from the Anaheim Ducks. This is rumored to be part one as the Flames are looking at a backup goalie for the playoff stretch. Same names out there Dan Ellis, Martin Biron, and now Andrew Raycroft.
