Barker's been kind of disappointing this season, although its still a nice pick up by the Wild.

Yeah I was thinking he'd make it in the league at some point. Chicago got a more than capable dman and a future capable defenseman

While many view Leddy as an offensive defenseman, he could potentially blossom into more of a two-way defenseman. His play is equally strong at both ends of the ice. Leddy combines superb offensive prowess with conscientious and responsible defensive zone play. He does an excellent job of taking away time and space from the opposition, and can also create it for both himself and his teammates.

One attribute that makes it all possible is his outstanding skating ability. Leddy is an agile skater with good speed and smoothness in his strides. This can particularly be seen in his transitioning and rushes up the ice. This past summer, Leddy added 15 pounds to his 5'11 frame. The result has enhanced his game tremendously, especially on the physical side.
I hope he makes it in Chicago. He could be a nice compliment to Keith and Seabrook in the future

Nothing imminent on Ponikarovsky, but there have been offers. Leafs will wait to see if the proposals get better.
Canucks please get Poni.

I heard Canes are looking for a 1st rounder and a good prospect. For a 37 year old? No thanks man.

I MIGHT be willing to give Luca Caputi if I was Ray Shero but thats the best prospect they'd get and hell no not a first on a 37 year old who is expiring

The Sens are very interested in Stephane Robidas; Ottawa is trying to get it done in exchange for Brian Lee.

if I was Dallas I'd want more than Brian Lee. He's good but hasn't panned out

According to the Tennessean, the Nashville Predators will be possibly looking to make a few deals to improve their depth. Goaltenders Pekka Rinne, or Dan Ellis could be heading over to another team at the March 3rd trade deadline. Soon to be Unrestricted Free Agent Dan Hamhuis has been receiving a lot of attention from teams, and will most likely be moved.

Don't know how we could make a move cap wise but I'd love Hamhuis

Boston will only move Ryder and pick up some nice players IMO. They'll have a nice deadline I bet

BTW, hows that Kovalchuk trade working out so far

6 games, 1 G, 4 A, +6

Nice pickup...but they're 2-3-1 since he was acquired...
