Ice Scoopz: Trade Deadline

It's a slow start this deadline, slower than the last few deadlines, even the chatter is at an all time low. Hopefully this afternoon the trades pick up but we did see some serious activity up until last night so most teams maybe content with what they have now. I'm also hearing that the asking prices this year are ridiculous compared to other years.

*-> The rumors that Tim Connolly isn't being shopped keep popping up. The Connolly situation appears to be murky now, as Brad Boyes has really confused the situation. The Sabres are even rumored to be seriously thinking they can make another addition and try for a playoff run.

*-> That being said I did hear the Vancouver Canucks have inquired about Mike Grier.

*-> TSN has reported Brad Richards agent has said he has not been asked to waive his no trade clause yet nor has he even been asked what teams he would consider. So it's just a tall tale out of New York saying he's ok to waive his no trade clause to the Big Apple. It doesn't mean talks arn't going on however.
