from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun, As the general manager of the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins, Peter Chiarelli wasn’t about to tell us the names on his list of players he believes will be available by the Feb. 27 trade deadline.
Having said that, Chiarelli did offer up this small piece of insight.
“It’s a short list,” he confided on Saturday afternoon.
Truth be told, Chiarelli suspects that is the case for the other 29 teams in the National Hockey League as well. In his mind, it could be one of the slowest trade deadline periods in recent memory. Why?
1. The tight standings squeeze: When the NHL implemented a salary cap after the lockout of 2004-05, parity came to the league. Or, is that parody? Either way, with so many teams squeezed in tightly within so few points, there seems to be a reluctance to offer up resources.

His steadfast choice to stay close to home prompted the prospect watchers at Hockey’s Future to declare he was “[u]nlikely to return to North America.”

BOSTON -- The first time the Bruins faced the Rangers this season, the top spot in the East was on the line.

LEFTOVER THOUGHTS:
* Nine of the top 11 in Predators team scoring have double-digits in goals.
* Nashville can make it “10 with 10+” if Nick Spaling can somehow score three more before the season is over.
