With less than 24 hours until the NHL's trade deadline, here's the latest rumors we're watching:
Toronto - Domink Moore and Nik Antorpov reportedly did not play tonight and speculation is rampant that the two forwards will be moved tomorrow. Moore is rumored to be headed to the Red Wings to anchor their 3rd line. Antropov appears to be headed to Columbus or Florida. We're not believing the hype on Moore - this is his season to get lots of ice-time and capture lightening in a bottle. With Antropov, C-Bus would welcome the offensive upgrade from Antropov, and he would help them. Tomas Kaberle left tonight's game after apparently re-injuring his hand that had kept him away from the roster for the last 3 weeks.
Minnesota - with the signing of Nik Backstrom today to a long term extension, the Wild can focus on moving Gaborik for at least another roster player and a prospect.
Tampa Bay - Gary Roberts was placed on waivers, while Mark Recchi did not play tonight indicating that both are likely to be moved tomorrow. Recchi appears destined to land back with the Penguins for a playoff push, and Roberts was rumored to be landing with the Sharks or the Flames. Recchi still has some fantasy value, particularly if he sees some time on the PP. Roberts best days are way behind him as is his fantasy value.
Phoenix - Derrick Morris is going to be moved t0morrow, it just remains to be seen where. His fantasy value however is pretty minimal. Oli Jokinen is also on the block, and the list of potential suitors includes Edmonton, Columbus, Minnesota and Vancouver. Asking price will be a prospect and a pick for the cash strapped 'Yotes.
