Trade Deadline 2016: 10:20am

*-> According to reports the Minnesota Wild remains in the hunt for Jonathan Drouin especially since the Wild have two young defenseman in Matt Dumba, and Jonas Brodin for any package. The Wild weren't expected to make a big deal today given their cap space and lack of picks at the next two drafts but with two young defensmen they might be able to swing something.

*-> The Oilers have kicked tires on Florida's Brandon Pirri according to Elliotte Friedman. The Panthers have admitted to shopping the injured Pirri due to him being in an out of the line up most of the season.

*-> The Islanders have walked away from discussions with the Leafs over the price of P.A Parenteau.

*-> Anaheim has shown interest in the days leading up to the deadline in Radim Vrbata that would give them a proven scorer.  The Ducks and or the St. Louis Blues both have the most to prove today.

*-> It's reportedly all quiet in Buffalo as really McGinn remains the only player the Sabres are 100% set to move and or is attracting interest from other teams.  David Legwand has been a tough sell around the league, looks like this could be his last season.

*-> The Red Wings don't appear to be interested in moving any young prospect or high picks so unless they can add a significant upgrade from a hockey perspective they'll stand pat today.  So I guess we can cancel that interest in Hartnell out.

*-> Washington appears to be out on Dan Hamhuis as of 9am this morning according to reports.
