Trade deadline

[Squirrel]

Looks like the Canes are shopping players for prospects and picks.

Ray Whitney and Scott Walker and defensemen Joe Corvo, Aaron Ward and Andrew Alberts are all available.

[Goosfraba21]

Looks like A. Ward and Whitney might be gone by game time tonight. Will miss whitney but so long ward.

Ward to Ottowa or Boston and Whitney to Pens

[Mesmer]

No grownups allowed!

But in all seriousness, a lot of vets will likely be moved before the deadline. We should get a 1st rounder for Whitney, but it will be from a playoff team... so it will kind of suck.

[Goosfraba21]

Per WRAL:

Aaron Ward's deal is done and he's a healthy scratch for tonight's game in TO. Their probably waiting to announce the deal till tomorrow so Ottawa (my guess) can save a little $ on his per day salary. Now the question is....what's coming back the other way.

[Hawk]

been a Canadiens fan for too long to get excited about trade deadline day!

Although, now that Gainey is gone...maybe they'll do something!

[Mesmer]

They TRADED Aaron Ward? JR is a master. There is nothing else I can even begin to say...

Hawk.. do you think they'll trade one of their goaltenders? I heard Price was Gainey's boy.. so maybe with Halak showing the world he can play, does Price get moved? Or do they capitalize on Halak's value?

[Goosfraba21]

Yeah Aaron ward has been a bust this season. There are talks now of Whitney not going anywhere. Going to be an interesting 24 hrs.

Yea, It's part him forcing where he goes because of the NTA and him wanting an extension....plus what the canes are asking for. A 1st plus a prospect.

[Mesmer]

Walker to the Caps, Ward to the Ducks. Still have until 3:00 EST to see more movement!

[panthersphan]

No BIG moves yet...pretty tame Deadline so far.

[Goosfraba21]

Yelle, Alberts and Corvo all on the move

[IRONMAN]

dont like the 3rd for Andrew Alberts, would have preferred to keep him for that hes a bottom pairing big physicaly guy we need.

Robbed Washington for Pothier, Osala, and their 2nd rounder in 2011.

Walker for a 7th round pick isnt much but he hasn't played hardly at all in 2 years, just a salary dump ultimately.

Aaron Ward gone thank God.

Currently have

Gleason-Pitkanen

Picard-Carson

Pothier? / Nobody on D

looks like the team expects, McBain, Rodney, or Harrison to be able to step up and play.

[carpanfan96]

Good trades...JR did some damn fine work with the Corvo trade. Canes now have a ton of 2nd rounds and has some flexibility with what they can do in the draft. I like getting Osala in that trade, he could be a nice pickup.

As for Whitney not being moved, it's what I thought. He didn't want to go anywhere and the only deal that Whitney even new about was the one from a month ago..Which he shot down with the contract extension.

[RedMage138]

The Corvo trade was an absolute steal. Love it.
