I’m not sure where this trend started, but I assume it must have been one of the southern teams looking for a gimmick to attract fans to their games. Now, more and more NHL teams are employing the hockey version of cheerleaders.

Were the Sharks intent on moving Patrick Marleau before the deadline? Did the Canadiens miss out on deals with the Blackhawks, Flames? Do the Capitals intend on re-signing Cristobal Huet? Why did the Blue Jackets trade Adam Foote, couldn’t trade for Brad Richards? Which teams chased Tuomo Ruutu before he was dealt to the Hurricanes? Will Ryan Miller leave the Sabres after next season?
Two More Points

Well, my post-Montreal collapse predictions weren’t so crazy after all eh? The Rangers are 3-0 since their OTL in Montreal, and to my credit I predicted 3 wins, but only the 5-0 win over Florida at the Garden counts as a “spanking.” We are now into March on the calendar. This is a month where the Rangers play 10 out of 14 games against Atlantic foes. If we can get out of this month with more than a winning record, we should have a playoff spot locked up. All that starts Sunday @ the Garden when the Blueshirts have a brunch with the Flyers at 12:30 on NBC. But enough looking ahead, here are my notes and thoughts on last night’s 4-2 win in Raleigh.
Ruutu for Ladd

The Sportsnet panel is reporting that the Chicago Blackhawks are working on sending forward Tuomo Ruutu to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Is Fedorov trade bait?

Michael Arace of The Columbus Dispatch reports that Columbus Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson hasn’t had any contact with pending unrestricted free agent forward Sergei Fedorov in regards to renewing the player’s contract with the club, leading to speculation the player could be dealt.
Redden nixed trade for Carle?
February 9th, 2008 | 12:30 PM EST
By Alin Mateescu
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, a deal that would have seen San Jose Sharks defenseman Matt Carle and a draft pick head to Ottawa was nixed when Senators pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Wade Redden refused to waive his no trade clause.
Hossa, Hurricanes, and Bruins

By Alin Mateescu
Have the Thrashers and Hossa talked contract lately? Are the Hurricanes clearing cap room for a possible deal? Will the Bruins be buyers at the trade deadline?
Malik, Campbell, Lightning, Blackhawks, Preissing, Forsberg, Panthers, and McCarty
January 28th, 2008 | 5:16 PM EST
By Alin Mateescu
Is Marek Malik still a Ranger? Are the Sabres re-starting negotiations with Brian Campbell? Do the Lightning plan on making any drastic changes? Are the Blackhawks close to making a deal? Which Kings defenseman are the Hurricanes eyeing? Is Peter Forsberg closing in on a return to the NHL? Which players are the Panthers shopping? Would the Red Wings take back Darren McCarty?
