Trade rumours.....

With the NHL trade deadline, March 3rd, closing fast, alot have big names have been mentioned in the media that could be traded.
The biggest name that could be on the move would be Ilya Kovalchuk. He will be a UFA in the summer and it doesn't look like Atlanta can sign him. The front-runner to acquire Kovalchuk could be the L.A. Kings. That have the the young players (Jack Johnson, Wayne Simmonds & Oscar Moller) and prospects (Brandon Kozun, Thomas Hickey & Colten Teubert) to make such a deal and not hurt their "core".
One other big name that could change teams would be Dion Phanuef. Calgary needs a shake up but i don't see many teams willing to take on his contract.
I hope the Leafs can aquire a few young players and/or draft picks but they don't really have any "assets" to move! Brian Burke has some serious work to do.

Later
