Trade Deadline Day: T minus 3 days (udpated)

Sunday March 1 - with only 3 days to go until the trade deadline, the rumors are really heating up. Here is the latest:

Chris Pronger - St. Louis has reportedly been inquiring about Pronger's availability. St. Louis certainly has the cap space and young talent that the Ducks may be interested in acquiring. The Blues are only 6 points out of a playoff spot and Pronger's appearance would certainly assist them in making a push for that last playoff spot.

Jay Boumeester - with the Panthers apparently unable to re-sign Boumeester, it looks as though they are seeing what they'd be able to get for the pending UFA. The latest is the Flyers dangling Briere, Coburn, van Riemsdyk and Nittymaki for Boumeester and Craig Anderson. This would certainly lighten the salary cap load on the Flyers and finally allow them to get the puck moving defencman that they are desparate to acquire. Anderson is an upgrade for the Flyers as well. For the Panthers, they'd get decent return on Boumeester.

Bill Guerin - has been pulled from the Islanders line-up, in preparation of moving. The mystery team invilved is rumored to be the Boston Bruins. The hang up, is the Bruins not wanting to part with both Matt Hunwick and a 2nd for Guerin.
