The days leading up to this year’s NHL Trade Deadline for the first time in nearly a decade marked a significant time of change for the Buffalo Sabres. For so long the franchise appeared to be set in its ways by sticking with the same group of core players and personnel. All that changed when ...
Carolina Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford decided to stay relatively quiet in his trade deadline moves by trading costly winger Jussi Jokinen and bringing in power-play specialist Marc-Andre Bergeron.
The NHL Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching. Matter of fact, it’s tomorrow. Some teams, namely the Buffalo Sabres and Calgary Flames, have been active sellers. The Sabres have dealt defensemen Robyn Regehr and Jordan Leopold with names like Jason Pominville, Drew Stafford, and Ryan Miller rumored to follow. The Flames, meanwhile, have sent icon Jarome ...
The Vancouver Canucks kicked off their trade deadline push by making a move that will net them Dallas Stars center Derek Roy.

The Ottawa Senators find themselves in quite the precarious situation. As anyone who’s followed hockey for a milisecond this season knows, the Sens have had injury problems. Well, that’s a slight (or huge) underestimation of the hard luck that’s befallen them. The somewhat good news is that defenseman Marc Methot should be back for Monday’s ...
