As the trade deadline nears, a lot of speculation is being bandied about by everyone and their mothers (this is an e5 in case you’re wondering.) Here are some quick hits for the morning around the Wild and the NHL. Enjoy!
- Mike Russo proves to me once again why I love Owen Nolan and loathe Marian Gaborik. And he also has proof that Brent Burns can’t bowl.
- Nick in New York thinks that Doug Risebrough’s window is closing as the Wild GM.
- If you haven’t already heard, Niclas Havelid is a Devil.
- Great news if you’re a Sabres fan. Tomas Vanek plans to play tomorrow night.
- James Mirtle has a nice look at the playoff picture.
- To absolutely no one’s surprise, Sean Avery has been claimed by the Rangers.
- Great news for Wild fans. The team has signed Niklas Backstrom to a four year extension.
- Mark Recchi is quite optimistic about being traded. Does he just have a U-Haul permenantly assigned to him?
- Both Milan Hejduk and Ryan Smyth say they haven’t been asked to waive their NTCs.
- Aaron Portzline has some rumblings and grumblings about the trade deadline for the Blue Jackets.
