Trade Deadline 2016: 1:10pm

*-> It's rumored that Kirby Rychel has been told he will be traded today despite the AHL rumors.  It's just the waiting game I guess.

*-> Mikkel Boedker is attracting interest from the Colorado Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild. The asking price is still up there.

*-> I'm hearing that the Wild are seriously in the mix along with Ottawa still for Tampa Bay's Jonathan Drouin.

*-> Montreal has reportedly contacted the Edmonton Oilers in regards to Nail Yakupov.  Alex Galchenyuk has chemistry with Yakupov dating back to their Sarnia Sting days. Many feel a change of scenery and the chance to be the guy might bring Yakupov to the next level.  The Canadiens are indeed searching for an offensive minded RW.

*-> It's been reported that the New York Rangers have told Keith Yandle he will remain a Ranger till at least the end of the season not that many saw it any other way since Yandle has been their best d-man.

*-> The Penguins are close to a deal, it's looking like their going to make a move on one of the top d-men available.

*->  Toronto might have to lower their price on Parenteau as reports have most of their suitors turning away. The Islanders remain a suitor but are waiting for the price drop. One GM has reported used his injury status as a possible leverage.

*-> The New Jersey Devils have told the media they wont make a rental deal.
