*-> St. Louis has kicked tires at Loui Eriksson, the Blues want to add some fire power to keep up with the West powers but are hesitant to pay big prices for a rental when their season hasn't progressed as planned. The Bruins were rumored to be interested in Ty Rattie or Dmitri Jaskin as a possbile packaged return.
*-> It appears highly likely Dan Hamhuis is traded today especially given his comments he'd like an Antoine Vermette type situation where he's allowed to return this summer to Vancouver.
*-> While on the Canucks it appears they may be willing to move Radim Vrbata at this point despite having a great season last year with some setbacks this year. Vrbata isn't keen on moving it's rumored but he may not have a choice if a contender comes knocking.
*-> Rumors have the Jets all quiet on the trade front last night and don't expect to be very busy today. As mentioned earlier not much is available in Manitoba today apart from a couple minor pieces.
*-> Buffalo has been quietly listening to offers for Tyler Ennis, lots of interest but they may not be keen on moving him.
*-> The New York Rangers would like to make another move for a 3rd liner who can play up the line up but cap space is extremely tight.
*-> The Anaheim Ducks are expected to be in on Mikkel Boedker and Loui Eriksson looking to add some punch. The Ducks have an abundance of defensive prospect to peddle the Bruins so that may be the best suitor for Boston.
*-> The Flames are more than willing to part with Jonas Hiller if there's interest.
*-> Nashville is still seeking an offensive threat, Scott Hartnell has not yet been asked to waive his no trade but recent reports have Hartnell open to any major contenders especially the Preds.
*-> The Penguins are still looking at a big name defenseman despite Schultz being brought in. Hamhuis is a name that keeps coming up.

Trade Deadline 2016: 8:25am

*-> Dallas has denied interest in bringing Loui Eriksson back and their main focus remains on adding a defenseman.
*-> While on Eriksson, the Bruins appear to be willing as of yesterday to move the Swedish winger if it means they get a defenseman in return. Their willing to take a risk on a rental with hopes to resign. Eriksson and the B's contract talks have gone south but it's expected both sides will reach out again today for one last look.
*-> Florida may not be done yet as they may look to add a blue liner rental.
*-> Sam Gagner could be on the move again as it appears the Flyers are looking at moving him as he's been deemed expendable. The Flyers are also reportedly interested in moving Mark Streit now that the Ghost has replaced Streit as their go to guy on the point. Russian pending UFA Evgeni Medvedev has also been available,
*-> The Flames are reportedly asking for a 1st or 2 2nd's for Kris Russell.
*-> Mikkel Boedker has reportedly turned down a 5.5 million dollar multi year deal from the Coyotes so that could mean he's moved out today.

*-> Dallas has denied interest in bringing Loui Eriksson back and their main focus remains on adding a defenseman.

Trade Deadline 2016: 8:00am
*-> Chris Kunitz of the Penguins is believed to be out there. The Pens are looking at ways to shed some cap while adding another piece to their roster and Kunitz appears to be slowly fading the past few seasons.
*-> The New York Islanders aren't expected to be busy today but have kicked tires on Kris Russell of the Flames. They also have taken a hard look in the past weeks at P.A Parenteau but aren't willing to shell out for him.
*-> Dan Hamhuis highlights the availiable defensemen today and many teams have pushed the Canucks into possibly selling. They were on the fence as of last week but the return could prove too much to resist. The Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings have all expressed interest. Hamhuis himself has said he likes the Dallas Stars chances. Remember he owns a no trade so he controls his fate in this one.
*-> Fedor Tyutin is the consolation prize after Hamhuis it appears. The Blue Jackets need to clear cap badly and with a young blue line Tyutin is expendable especially since he's lost a step.
*-> While on the Jackets, it was rumored that the Nashville Predators were in talks with them about bringing Scott Hartnell home. The deal was rumored to be a 3rd plus Colin Wilson. Many are saying that discussions were only had no offers as of last night.
*-> Montreal would love to move Alexei Emelin and his 4 million dollar cap hit. San Jose was looking earlier this year but Montreal walked away. San Jose also found their shut down guy in Polak.
Time to get some coffee....

Trade Deadline 2016: 7:50 Sens Update
*-> The Ottawa Senators are willing to make a hockey trade for a forward for next season and are openly shopping Alex Chiasson, and Shane Prince. The Sens wont part with any future unless it means a high quality young winger who can play now. Don't expect a rental for a miracle run like last season GM Murray is well aware that realistically it wont happen again. All in all the Sens could remain pat with their current roster as not much is expected to change.
They reportedly have an offer on the table for Jonathan Drouin with the Bolts. The Lightning are keen on Chabot but the Sens arn't budging on him. The Sens would love to package Mikael Wikstrand after he took off this fall back to Sweden to be with his brother. The Lightning are also been rumored to be kicking tires at Cody Ceci in a package something the Sens may consider now with Phaneuf and free agency this summer.
Expect Patrick Weircoch to be moved today, the team really would like to move on and get something for him. The Avalanche have looked at him earlier this season.
As mentioned before TSN is reporting the Sens are in on Nail Yakupov.
I talked to my Sens guy late last week and was told that Dion Phaneuf still has many in the Ottawa organization iffy on him. The fans last week let it be known that they accept the one time rival but the Sens brass view this as a trial for him. They were extremely uneasy about the deal when they made it but feel it was the best they could achieve with what they were selling.

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.

Trade Deadline 2016....We're Back!
Yes we are finally back after taking over a year off! A lot has happened this past couple of years in regards to the site. After a successful run on blogger we decided to move to our own designed site hosted on a big name hosting site. That didn't work out as planned right from the get go. The site we had designed really limited us to what we could do due to the fact we rushed to get the new one up without much planning so that was a stumbling block from the get go. Our designer was great for us and designed everything we asked (even if rushed) for before his new career took off leaving web design and also our site in the past. After about a year of posting on the new site we noticed our viewership was way down from when with Blogger. Life kicked in and things got hectic so posting wasn't as frequent as the past till the new year last year and when things were on the up swing again we had extreme difficulties with our hosting site. The difficulties turned into an all out nightmare in which we got hacked and our hosting site before contacting anyone from Ice Scoopz threatened us and then deleted our site and files leaving us without back up. I took the following time afterwards to really ponder if I want to continue this site with other projects on the go. I've decided it wouldn't be the Trade Deadline without Ice Scoopz so here we are open for business as usual. We're going to continue on Blogger for the time being concentrating mostly on the Draft. There will be a detailed post coming in the up coming weeks on what to expect from the new Ice Scoopz so stay tuned.
As for today on Trade Deadline expect our usual coverage, live rumors and trade notifications all day long leading up until the 3pm deadline.
Finally I just want to thank our friends and fans who have supported and stuck with us from the old site to the new I know at times with all the changes it wasn't easy. Thanks for everything guys and girls without passionate hockey fans like you I wouldn't be doing this. Thanks to all our new fans joining us today and also here's to the future of Ice Scoopz!
