Some surprisingly quiet teams out there… Tampa, Minnesota, Isles, Nashville, Detroit…

On the Florida Panthers …
Could the Pirri deal mean Panthers clearing cap space for another, bigger move? Hard to make sense of it otherwise.

On Dan Hamhuis …
#Canucks source tells me the #Stars are now out on Dan Hamhuis. That could change, but as of a few minutes ago, told Dallas is out.

In addition to BOS, PIT is trying to get in on Hamhuis but we continue to believe, for now, Hamhuis not interested in waiving there.

Regarding BOS interest in Hamhuis, he has full NTC and isn’t likely to want to go east to BOS.

Hamhuis watch is red hot. Bruins very eager, but as we’ve reported today, Dallas would love to add both Russell and Hamhuis.

Hamhuis said last night that going to a contender was top priority to waive NMC. #Bruins don’t fit.

On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
Still not ruling out Leafs picking up a contract like Bryan Bickell’s before today is done.

On Bryan Bickell …
Bryan Bickell is hoping a trade will materialize. Feels he’s still an NHL caliber power forward & just wants a fresh start. #Blackhawks

On the Boston Bruins …
Bruins would be crazy to trade for rental D given price tag Calgary received for Kris Russell. A seller’s market w/Eriksson as biggest piece

On the New Jersey Devils …
One name I’d still expect to be dealt before the deadline: Lee Stempniak. Getting down to the wire.

On the Philadelphia Flyers …
Hexy has 40 mins. to get something done. He unloaded salary last mo. by dealing L. Schenn and Vinny. Still, thought he’d make 1 more move.
