I've observed several players who have been scratched tonight and we all know what that could mean. A potential deal and a healthy scratch prevents any injuries that could ruin a major trade. Take these as you will as they may just be a coincidence.
Montreal Canadiens
-Paul Mara - Still injured with a hand injury, the scratch makes good sense but he has been rumored to be on the move.
Toronto Maple Leafs
-Alexei Ponikarovsky - We all knew this guy was on the way out so this scratching is just a precautionary.
-Jeff Finger - Not too surprised here as he has been a scratch all year long but could be part of a deal, the Leafs want him out.
Carolina Hurricanes
-Stephane Yelle - Another guy we think is on the move.
-Aaron Ward - He's on the move as well for sure, Vancouver looks like there battling the Bruins.
New York Islanders
-Sean Bergheim - I don't think the islanders would move him, just a rest?
Atlanta Thrashers
-Marc Popovic - Could be on the move but usually used sparingly.
-Slava Kozlov - Definately on the move here, keeping him safe.
Florida Panthers
-Nathen Horton - This is the best one of the night. Horton is coveted by many teams and a shake up in Florida is under way so could this be a sign? He is rumored to be injured still however.
Columbus Blue Jackets
-Milan Jurcina - Looks to be another safe guard as Jurcina has been attracting suitors since the Olympics.
Ottawa Senators
-Shean Donovan - A regular healthy scratch but we know they are shopping him.
Buffalo Sabres
-Steve Montador - Another guy I'm not too sure of. The Sabres might just be trying something new on the backend.
Pittsburgh Penguins
-Martin Skoula - He was just moved in the Toronto Pittsburgh deal for Ponikarovsky.
-Jay McKee - A rumored injury.
Dallas Stars
-Fabian Brunstrom - He could be on the way out as he;'s stared in many rumors recently. Could just be a scratch because of his weak play.
St. Louis Blues
-Daryl Sydor - A proven veteren whose experience would be coveted.
