Trade Deadline 2016: 12:15pm

*-> Avalanche fans could be in for some excitement today as it's heavily rumored that Colorado will at least attempt to make a move.  The Aves would love to add a depth defenseman. Some have them linked to formed Av John Michael-Liles of Carolina as a cheap upgrade.

*-> A few waiver claims to mention:
Montreal has claimed Mike Brown off the San Jose Sharks
Edmonton has claimed Adam Cracknell off the Vancouver Canucks and Adam Pardy off the Winnipeg Jets
Reto Berra, Alex Stalock, Zac Rinaldo and Rene Bourque have all cleared waivers.

It appears that Rene Bourque will not being going anywhere most likely now that he's cleared.

*-> TSN is questioning the addition for the Habs of Mike Brown, Bob McKenzie has hinted there could be a move to come for the Canadiens since they have plenty of depth forwards. It would have made more sense for the Canadiens to have claimed Adam Pardy to address their weakened defense in my opinion and if they needed an enforcer they have John Scott in the minors.

*-> Minnesota continues to tell teams that Jonas Brodin isn't available, taking lots of calls on him....
