As we crawl into the final hours of the 2011 NHL Trade Deadline, let us take a look at what may go down leading up to 3pm ET tomorrow afternoon.
Brad Richards and any move involving him would be a last ditch effort from a club, he is still concussed (progressing however) and owns a NTC, Dallas would like to move him and his contract before new ownership takes over - Suitors: New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs
Tomas Vokoun: much speculation abounds involving Vokoun being moved before becoming a UFA this summer, Florida seems to have thrown in the towel with the McCabe deal, and teams such as Philadelphia, Washington and to a lesser degree, Detroit, have shown interest.
Stephen Weiss: while to me it seems like a no brainer that FLA keeps Weiss with his budget contract and relative younger age, teams like Toronto/Pittsburgh and new comer to the Weiss sweeps, Chicago have heavy interest, I suspect Weiss will be moved. Have heard the starter would be Kadri from Toronto, I would pass.
Chris Phillips: I don't think Phillips wants to leave, I think Ottawa wants him to leave, but he will end up staying, Bryan Murray is in a tough position here, pushing him to waive would be a bad sign to future Sens players, in the end, Phillips will be a Senator.
Chris Neil: Neil would be an excellent pickup for a playoff run and I have heard Vancouver is making overtures about acquiring the gritty winger, he would be a perfect fit for a Vancouver 4th line energy unit.
Brayden Schenn: LA is asking the moon from both Toronto & Edmonton, and the Leafs have backed off from the younger Schenn brother, Edmonton is still mulling over a Hemsky + for Schenn deal, my opinion, Schenn stays in LA.
J-M Liles: Colorado is well out of the Western race and Liles is a good fit in many NHL circles, Toronto is heading the way on this but also kicking tires over a blockbuster involving Stastny, in the end I believe Liles moves to Toronto on Monday and Stastny stays in COL.
Dustin Penner: Will definitely be moved, Pittsburgh/LA/St. Louis showing interest, Toronto has some as well, but Leafs are coveting a defenseman at the moment.
Part two will come this evening following the Toronto/Atlanta game
