Sooooo it hasn't exactly been the most exciting 24 hours leading up to the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline, but with the clock ticking down as we near closer to the 3 p.m. mark, trades will be made - they always are.

Let’s be real here, there is a significant chance that Glen Sather and the brain trust that surrounds him decide to not make any moves at the deadline. If that is the case, then the Rangers are going to look to the CT Whale to provide some depth in case of an injury.

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, Maybe Scott Howson read the standings upside down. Maybe the Blue Jackets general manager thought his team was first overall in the NHL rather than 30th, and maybe he thought the Rangers were last instead of first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league in points-per-game.
Perhaps that explains why Howson acted with a sense of entitlement...
