TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Dallas Stars, San Jose Sharks
SportsNet‘s HockeyCentral Trade Tracker panel recently analyzed the situation of three Canadian teams in the Eastern Conference heading into the February 27 trade deadline.
Here is a quick look at what they discussed (see video for more details):
The Montreal Canadiens are still undecided whether they’ll look to add to their roster or auction off some veterans. The Canadiens do have some players that playoff-bound clubs team may want, like Hal Gill and Travis Mowen.

In Ottawa, the rebuilding Senators will have to decide if they’re a buyer or a seller. Carolina Hurricanes‘ forward Tuomo Ruutu may be a target, but they won’t overspend to get him — or anyone else.
The Toronto Maple Leafs won’t get a goaltender. But they will try to find a number one center, or a top-six winger — Tampa Bay Lightning‘s Ryan Malone is at the top of their list, with San Jose...

Report: Tuomo Ruutu To Be Dealt by Deadline
We have heard it all week that many NHL teams are interested in the services of Hurricanes forward Tuomo Ruutu. A month away and speculation is that he could land in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, New York Rangers, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, and San Jose. To be fair, I have also heard rumors that Ruutu could land in Toronto as Brian Burke has placed a phone call seeking information...
Ruutu: 'There's nothing I can really do'
Canes defenseman Tim Gleason called constant trade speculation a "nightmare" after signing a contract extension Monday that put it to an end.
Tuomo Ruutu? The forward now has moved closer to the center of the trade storm. Ruutu said today he has had no contract negotiations with Canes management, but insisted he's not affected or burdened by the trade rumors floating...
Regner: Red Wings should add a top-six forward via trade
Given the talk surrounding the Edmonton Oilers’ and Carolina Hurricanes’ asking prices for Ales Hemsky and Tuomo Ruutu, respectively, I get more than a little jittery when the pair are linked to a Red Wings team that Ken Holland readily admitted is exploring its options in terms of bolstering its lineup via a smart trade or two (and Holland told the Globe and mail’...
Wings still need to add depth for Cup run
Now that the NHL's glorified shootout with human pylons -- A.K.A. the All-Star Game -- has concluded, the Red Wings officially kicked off the second half of their season with a 3-1 victory Tuesday night in Calgary.
Detroit is at the top of the league standings, and with the trade deadline less than a month away (Feb. 27 at 3 p.m. EST), speculation is that once again the Red...
The Latest Trade Talk
from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, From conversations I’ve had with teams over the weekend, there’s a chance the trade season will get going for real after the All-Star break.
One name that could move as early as this week is Tuomo Ruutu, the Carolina Hurricanes forward who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The Canes have taken lots of calls on him and...
Red Wings mid-day mish-mash: questions, trade climatology, co-MVP’s, Happy Hudler and more McCrimmon
The Canucks are practicing right now in Vancouver, and the Red Wings won’t even hit the ice until 3 or 3:30 PM EST, so we’re looking at some very late-afternoon off-day updates, but that’s no excuse for sitting on Wings news till this evening for the sake of comprehensiveness’s sake.
Given the Wings’ gritty 3-1 win over the Flames, Calgary’s...
Monday debate: is a blockbuster possible?
The trade speculation has been constant and will heat up even more.
The Canes' names have been out there: Tim Gleason, Tuomo Ruutu, Jaroslav Spacek, Bryan Allen. "UFA" might as well stand for Undetermined Future Acquisition, to read some of the trade gossip floating around the 'net.
But there are some in the Canadian media who want to float two other names: Eric...
Canes go back to work amid rumors
It's back to work for the Canes today. Time to prepare for the final push.
But with just 31 games remaining and 10 points out of playoff position, how much of a push can the Canes make?
"It's hard to say," general manager Jim Rutherford says. "There's so much parity and you don't know how injuries will affect teams, or which teams will fall off. All...
