Trade Deadline 2016: 7:35am

Here's what I'm hearing so far..

*-> The Toronto Maple Leafs are still asking way too much for P.A Parenteau. Teams are really hesitant to pay the Leafs asking price of a 1st round pick when players of higher calibre are going for a 2nd this year.

*-> The New Jersey Devils appear to be all in on trading Lee Stempniak and the asking price appears to be a 2nd.  The Kings were highly interested till they made the Versteeg move yesterday.  The Pittsburgh Penguins have been rumored to be relooking at Stempniak as they are familiar with him.

*-> Columbus have yet to ask Scott Hartnell to waive his no trade clause. There is interest from around the league but his cap hit is a factor.

*-> The Jets seam willing to stand pat but have told teams that Adam Pardy is available along with Alexander Burmistrov. The Jets would love to part ways with Burmistrov at this point as he hasn't fit into the Jets system.

*-> The Canadiens are shopping Lars Eller hard but want an offensive forward with contract in return, I expect as the day goes on they may settle for a pick.

*-> TSN is reporting that there's a 50/50 chance Nail Yakupov is moved today with Ottawa being a potential destination.

*-> Dan Hamhuis has most likely played his last days as a Canuck as Vancouver has been overwhelmed by the interest from around the league.  The Stars were highly interested late last night.

*-> Los Angeles may not be done dealing, they are currently looking at ways to shed some cap to add a d-man.
