Saturday Headlines: Where Six Teams Stand Two Weeks From Trade Deadline

second intermission on Hockey Night in Canada the Saturday headlines with Elliot freedan and Elliot were inside two weeks to the trade deadline and you're going to run us through at least six of the teams and what they may be up to just stuff that we're hearing and and things that are going on out there so we'll start off in Pittsburg after they lost to La last week in the great yoger retirement ceremony night I think things really started to intensify around the Penguins and obviously the big n

ame is Jay Kel everybody really interested in him I think the some of the teams have expressed interest include the lights of Vegas Vancouver Edmonton Carolina Florida and I have no doubt that there are more but I believe this is also gone beyond gansel I believe there's other players in the Pittsburgh or organization have begun to get attention obviously none of the big guys are not doing that but one position I do think that people have started to ask about and the Penguins will consider is go

ld they've got jaran n delovic at the NHL level they've got a really good Prospect in Joel blo fist who's having a good year in the American Hockey League and a couple of teams have suggested to me that you might want to add to the list of goalies who could be moved someone in Pittsburgh you might go to the Edmonton graphic there Brian but before you do uh because Steve stalos and uh Dave pulin are watching is Carlson going to Ottawa because there's been talk of that that's just me spitballing l

et's not get too crazy about that one uh at this point in time Edmonton you know they've they've talked a lot about targets bigger and smaller but I think one of the things that the olders are doing is looking at some forward depth not NE necessarily on the top line but throughout their lineup and I think they have some interest in two players from Anaheim Adam Henrik and Sam Carrick now don't know if that's both or just one of the two but both of those names are names that are being linked to t

he Oilers in Philadelphia Jeff Merrick is going to report in his notes tomorrow and I'm stealing it tonight that there are teams that have contacted the Flyers about both Nick seeler and Shawn Walker as a pair they've been very good together this year the Flyers are weighing whether or not to sign them or trade them but but I believe at least two teams according to Jeff have asked about acquiring them as a pair the maple e people are always wondering about the maple e whether you like them or do

n't the Toronto continues to go looking for a right-hand shot defenseman that has been their look for most of the season and that continues Dallas I had a few people say to me that people should be talking more about the stars that behind the scenes they are quietly one of the more aggressive teams they definitely think they can win the Stanley Cup they are looking for defense and they are looking for depth and finally Vancouver and probably should mention Vancouver and Boston playing each other

tonight but the kxs look like Jim Rutherford's been at this a long time they think they can win he there's a lot of things he could try to do but one of the things I think that has developed over the last couple of weeks in Vancouver is the amount of noise around pson and I think what that has led to is teams calling the Canucks and saying what exactly is going on here and could he be available now the Canucks do not want to comment on this they feel the noise is already enough enough but they

are telling teams we are trying to sign him and that is our goal lastly Elliott Joseph wall close yes uh he played last night for the Toronto Marley's in lval and he was very good 36 of 37 saves and not only that but lval did not make his night very easy for a player in his first game after a high ankle sprain lval made it tough on him they knew everybody would be watching and those players sure did their best to get noticed and uh he was very good they didn't play today um but he's very close a

nd we'll see what Toronto does in goal they've got a couple days to figure this out they go with three do they go with two but wall is [Music] close
