Ice Scoopz: Trade Deadline

*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs will enter one last contract discussion this morning with Clarke McArthur it's said. If the contract isn't looking close the Leafs will lean to selling him by 3pm. Brian Burke has also said he's open to trading him even if a contract has been signed, but it all depends on how good the deal is. McArthur has said he would like to remain with the Leafs. The Nashville PRedators have reportedly kicked the tires.

*-> Adam Foote is leaning towards retirement and retiring as an Avalanche rather than accept a trade for a cup run. He has however been in this situation in the past and took a trade. The Flyers are still looking at him as are the Washington Capitals.

*-> The Washington Capitals have kicked the tires on Andy McDonald of the St. Louis Blues.

*-> Mark Stuart is reportedly the player that the Atlanta Thrashers plan on flipping. The Chicago Blackhawks are once again looking at Stuart to help with their backend.

*-> The New Jersey Devils will not fire sell this deadline but will add by subtraction. The Devils will shop any spare parts but are expecting players than can help now rather than later.
