*-> It looks like the Bruins have added Drew Stafford of the Winnipeg Jets for a conditional 6th round pick.

Trade Deadline: 3:20 PM

2017-03-01T15:21:00.000-05:00

*-> It looks like both Matt Duchane and Gabriel Landeskog were not dealt today and they are finished dealing.

*-> Word out of Arizona is that Shane Doan will remain with the Coyotes.

Trade! Pittsburgh -> Toronto

2017-03-01T15:11:00.003-05:00

*-> Toronto has eaten up some cap space for the Pittsburgh Penguins by taking Eric Fehr off the books.
Stay tuned as TSN is reporting the Penguins have another deal in the works.

**-> It looks like it's Frank Corrado with Eric Fehr back to the Penguins in return for Steve Oleksy and 2017 4th rounder.

Trade! Calgary -> Ottawa

2017-03-01T14:53:00.003-05:00

*-> Curtis Lazar has been finally dealt by the Ottawa Senators to the Calgary Flames.

2017-03-01T14:52:00.002-05:00

*-> The Nashville Predators have acquired P.A Parenteau from the New Jersey Devils for a 6th round draft pick.

Trade! Philadelphia -> Tampa Bay

2017-03-01T14:38:00.001-05:00

*-> Tampa Bay have dumped much needed cap by trading center Valtteri Filppula along with a conditional 7th round pick and a 2017 4th round pick to the Flyers for defenseman Mark Streit.

Trade Deadline: 2:35PM

2017-03-01T14:35:00.000-05:00

*-> I'm hearing that Marc-Andre Fleury and the Penguins could be talking to the Flyers about a potential swap. Very very doubtful in my opinion. Something is going on with the Flyers not extending Mason. It doesn't make sense that the Penguins would trade their former franchise goaltender to an arch rival but anythings possible.

Trade Deadline: 2:30 PM

2017-03-01T14:29:00.001-05:00

*-> As the time keeps ticking down on the deadline there's a brief flurry of activity of depth moves trickling in. Another minor league trade as the New York Rangers have traded forward Justin Fontaine to the Edmonton Oilers for Taylor Beck.

*-> The Dallas Stars still arn't ruling out trading Patrick Sharp, Lindy Ruff has just announced that Patrick Sharp can still play, re-stirring up the rumors again.

*-> It looks like The Canadiens are still working the phones today. The roster will look pretty revamped going into the stretch with a whole lot of new bodies.

*-> The Penguins are closing in on a defenseman.

*-> TSN has reported that Tampa Bay has dealt some cap hit for the Flyers Mark Streit.

Trade! Montreal -> Colorado

2017-03-01T14:11:00.000-05:00

2017-03-01T14:10:00.000-05:00

*-> The Columbus Blue Jackets got their defensive depth in Kyle Quincey as they traded Dalton Prout to acquire him from the New Jersey Devils.

Trade Deadline: 1:56 PM

2017-03-01T13:56:00.000-05:00

*-> The Boston Bruins have reportedly kicked tires on Shane Doan, but their first concern is bringing in a reliable back up and defensive depth as previously mentioned. They also have seamed to have bailed out of the Gabriel Landeskog rumors.

*-> Colorado have seamed to have priced themselves completely out of trading Matt Duchene today. That all could change today once Vrbata goes or a rival club makes a major addition that tempts a buyer into making a major move. For now it's a quiet on the trade front.

*-> Tampa Bay has traded Adam Wilcox to Florida for Mike McKenna in a minor league goaltending swap.

*-> The Dallas Stars would like to dump one more body today but their running out of options. Depth forward Lauri Korpikoski appears to be the last option for the Stars to move without touching their current roster.

*-> The Devils are willing to listen to most players on their roster today not named Hall or Schneider. Mike Cammalleri wants out but the interest isn't there to create a deal, nor is their cap space around the league.

*-> The Leafs are very quiet, just looking to make some minor moves at this point unless a young defenseman falls into their sights.

*-> Sabres still not looking at asking Brian Gionta to waive his no trade.

Trade Deadline: 1:35 PM

2017-03-01T13:35:00.003-05:00

The Rumors have gone to a crawl the last half hour. Hopefully things start picking up down the stretch to the wire.

*-> Arthur Staple is reporting that despite the rumors Josh Ho-Sang isn't being shopped he's been told. also there appears to be some steam regaining in the Jordan Eberle to the Islanders rumors again. We'll have to watch this one. The whole JHS mystery trail appears to have ended which must have been a confusing few days for him.

*-> The Boston Bruins have taken a hard look at Dmitri Kulikov of the Sabres.

*-> The Lightning are having a really tough day and time trying to move Valtteri Filppula. He's been reported to be shooting down deals left right and center. The Lightning would love to get rid of his cap hit to clear up cap space for Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat. It's looking more and more like Johnson will be the odd guy out.

*-> Pittsburgh is still pushing hard for a depth defenseman, I'm still hearing Del Zotto.

*-> The Dallas Stars were in hard early on Marc-Andre Fleury early on, one would wonder what it would take for Fleury to solve the Stars goaltending issues.

*-> Florida is looking at veteran Mark Streit but it's still not known if Streit is willing to waive his clause for anyone.

Trade Deadline: 1:17 PM

2017-03-01T13:17:00.004-05:00

*-> All of the Winnipeg Jets are currently on the ice practicing this morning.

*-> It still appears Montreal is attempting to bring in a scoring winger, their being heavily linked to Radim Vrbata still.

*-> The Flyers have announced they've resigned P.E Bellemare and Michael Neuvirth to new deals taking the both of them off the market.

*-> The Kings Colorado Iginla deal is done now, it looks like the return is a conditional 4th round pick.

*-> I'm still hearing a ton on the Calgary Flames working on a deal, still not sure what it could be. Some are still saying that it could be a deal for a goaltender.

*-> I'm also hearing that the Isles are pushing super hard for a game breaking deal. It may be the deal that Josh Ho-Sang appears to be a part of. Could they be shelling out for Matt Duchene?

*-> The Bruins are prepared to pay in terms of cap hit for a reliable backup goaltender, their situation has been a mess all season long and would like to go into the playoffs and next season with some support. Steve Mason and Jaroslav Halak are names that keep resurfacing.

*-> Florida would like to add another defenseman to help run their P.P.

*-> Nashville really wants to make a move but is having trouble finding a potential suitor. They might stand pat if nothing jumps out.

*-> Vancouver has nothing on the burners at the moment. They appear to be stalled on the Ryan Miller front.

Trade! Los Angeles -> Colorado

2017-03-01T12:58:00.001-05:00

*-> It's still not 100% yet but Jarome Iginla has been dealt pending a trade call to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional draft pick.

Trade Deadline: 12:47 PM

2017-03-01T12:48:00.002-05:00

*-> Pierre-Edouard Bellemare appears close to re-signing with the Philadelphia Flyers so cross him off the list.

*-> Still no word on the re-signing of Michael Neuvirth yet.

*-> Pierre LeBrun is reporting that Montreal still isn't done shopping yet. That's the sense I'm getting as well, there's a big move to be had still for Montreal.

*-> Ottawa is determined to resolve this Lazar situation. They'd love to be able to turn Lazar into a high end prospect they really covet to recover for the Jonathan Dahlen deal. It appears they'll make a move by 3pm.

*-> Carolina have told teams that Teuvo Teravainen is available for the right price.

*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning are trying to deal ether Valtteri Filppula or Tyler Johnson. Filppula rejected a deal to the Leafs recently. He determines his own fate so they seam to be leaning towards moving Johnson since they can control the return and destination.

*-> Still no word on Shane Doan and if he'll waive his no trade clause today. Arizona's priority at this point has to maximizing their return for the hottest trade target of the day. Once Vrbata goes there should be a series of deals falling into place.

*-> Los Angeles have a deal in the works, which was the reasoning behind the Dwight King deal. It's rumored to be an Iginla deal but they were also in on Thomas Vanek so maybe more to come.

Trade! Montreal -> Los Angeles

2017-03-01T12:25:00.001-05:00

*-> The Montreal Canadiens have added size and grit by adding Dwight King from the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional 4th round pick.

Trade Deadline: 12:25 PM

2017-03-01T12:24:00.002-05:00

*-> Jaroslav Halak doesn't appear to be going anywhere unless the team inquiring is willing to take on his full cap hit according to Arthur Staple. The Isles don't appear to be make that sacrifice today for the sake of moving him off their books.

*-> Another bit of Isles news they appear to be in serious talks with a team that has required Joshua Ho-Sang to be a part of it. Stay tuned from Long Island.

*-> The Vancouver Canucks have claimed Joseph Cramarossa off of Anaheim.

Trade! -> Florida-> Detroit

2017-03-01T11:57:00.004-05:00

*-> TSN has broke the first major trade of the day! Florida has traded defenseman Dylan McIlrath and a 2017 3rd round pick for Detroit's Thomas Vanek.

Trade Deadline: 11:51 AM

2017-03-01T11:51:00.003-05:00

*-> P.A Parenteau's finger injury is considered minor as reports have come out of team practice this morning. He's at practice so it appears to be a good sign. Still hearing only Ottawa and St. Louis as potential partners for New Jersey.

*-> The Jets appear to have had way more interest in Drew Stafford than expected today. Absolutely no interest in Ondrej Pavelec.

*-> The word out of Philly after Couturier was pulled from practice is that it was a trainer issue stemming from a fight injury nothing imminent on the trade front.

*-> Vrbata remains the prime target this morning so far. Most teams are circling back to Arizona and checking in if your a team looking for offensive help. He's by far the hottest thing this morning. Calgary has apparently entered the frey hard.

*-> Jesper Fast was announced to be out indefinite after a separated shoulder so the New York Rangers could be back in the market for some depth.

*-> Another minor trade from the Colorado Avalanche who just dealt defenseman Cody Corbett to the Washington Capitals for goaltender Joe Cannata.

Trade Deadline: Breaking News

2017-03-01T11:31:00.002-05:00

*-> Flyers forward Sean Couturier has been pulled from practice, this could be something to watch going forward. Tim Panaccio has reported he wasn't injured and practice has just begun.

Trade Deadline: 11:30 AM

2017-03-01T11:29:00.001-05:00

*-> TSN is reporting that Jarome Iginla and the Colorado Avs have has some mild interest from the Kings and he's had some mild interest towards the Kings. It's not an ideal situation for Iggy as the Kings aren't exactly a contender nor in the playoffs currently. It might take some major maneuvering to fit him under the cap. I'm hearing the Oilers have mild interest to help give the kids some much needed experience and some depth on the wing. We'll have to watch this one.

*-> Darren Dreger of TSN is also reporting Montreal is now in on the Radim Vrbata sweepstakes.

*-> The Pittsburgh Penguins could be in on the Flyers Michael Del Zotto.

*-> The Calgary Flames have mild interest in M. A Fleury in the past weeks but it's gone quiet as of late. There is something rumbling in Calgary this morning. They may be the first to make a move.

*-> It looks like Patrick Sharp wont be able to be traded today according to reports. His hip injury wont pass any suitors team physical so it looks like the Stars will be forced to pull the plug on his season.

*-> Kyle Quincey is still out there waiting for a deal to happen, it looks like he's been told that he'll be on the move today. Pittsburgh was rumored early but it appears their looking elsewhere.

*-> The Oilers and the Leafs are talking about a potential cap swap....maybe Benoit Pouliot? Maybe Ference's cap hit? Not sure how that would work.

*-> Minny doesn't appear to be done, could be a depth defense move after the Suter injury last night although it doesn't appear to be serious?

Trade Deadline: 11 AM

2017-03-01T11:05:00.000-05:00

Still absolutely nothing but a minor league swap this morning. It is expected though, usually it doesn't pick up till after lunch and a few deals trickle in. I get the sense most teams have made their major moves leading up to today so it may be even slower than usual.

A few Buffalo notes to note:

*-> Evander Kane isn't likely to go anywhere today but there is a chance. The Sabres aren't going to give him away and with his recent play he may have played himself off the block. The Canucks would love to do what Edmonton did and get a big banging forward that can score to play with their kids. Kane fits the bill but is a guy that would be a good fit in the room. Do the Canucks want to actually deal picks and prospects in a rebuild? The biggest question though for the Canucks is this officially a rebuild?

*-> It doesn't look like Briain Gionta wants to leave the Sabre's there is hope if a Eastern Coference team approachs the Sabres might be able to entice him to waive his no trade.
