Ice Scoopz: Trade Deadline

*-> The Dallas Stars and the New York Rangers are still talking Brad Richards, I'm hearing talks could resume this morning. The Rangers have an offer on the table with Artem Anisimov, and Matt Gilroy plus picks but the Stars reportedly want more.

*-> Jason Arnott has told Devils management to attempt to shop him and he'll see if he's interested based on the teams out there. that's an interesting storyline now has Jason Arnott has incredible experience and still has a lot to bring many teams like Montreal, Washington and Los Angeles.

*-> Radek Martinek is expected to be on the move today, many have confirmed the Islanders have offered him up this past week. The Vancouver Canucks have surprisingly been linked (sarcasm BTW).

*-> The Carolina Hurricanes are being very cautious today. They still have high playoff hopes but do not wish to lose several key players to free agency in the summer. The Canes would like to keep Joni Pitkanen but contract discussion has not gone well it's said. To make matters worse the Canes need him for any kind of drive so right now he's not available unless they can bring in another similiar defenseman first.

*-> As for Erik Cole the Flyers were extremely high on him before they picked up Versteeg, I bet the Canes wish they took that offer. It's said the Flyers still have interest but how many offensive forwards can they really bring in?
