Trade Deadline 2016: 11:00am

*-> Minnesota could be in on the affordable Jamie McGinn it's been rumored as the asking prices for some of the other big names are too high.  The Wild are rumored to be willing to wait out the Sabres asking price of a 2nd and wait till it comes down to a mid level pick. Minny is telling teams the offer has to be an impact deal for Brodin.

*-> Vancouver were rumored to have trying to package Radim Vrbata and Dan Hamhuis but there weren't any high interest suitors for both.

*-> Chicago appears to be done unless they find a really attractive non rental deal or a Brian Bickell dump.

*-> Boston is dangling Seth Griffith as potential bait to land a d-man.

*-> Ottawa Senators are reportedly willing to listen to other teams looking at moving centers. TSN has speculated that the Sens could be interested in Florida's Brandon Pirri. Several teams in the West have reportedly offered a 2nd round pick according to Gary Lawless. Rangers were interested before the Staal deal. Anaheim and the Oilers remain the leading suitors however.

*-> The Leafs are expecting that Grabner remains with the team after the deadline due to the lack of interest in the speedy forward. They'll still continue to shop him however.

*-> Teams are calling on Columbus's Scott Hartnell but still no official word on him waiving his no trade clause.

*-> Winnipeg would like to move Matt Halischuk and Adam Pardy according to the Sun.

*-> The New York Islanders are telling teams they will not move Kyle Okposo and will attempt to resign him.

*-> Teams are still waiting for the prices to go down on the remaining Toronto Maple Leafs.


Still all quiet this morning, as I said earlier I expect it to be a fairly slow day so be patient.
