Trade Deadline Countdown Discussion Thread - What Does Your Team Need?

My team needs Health.

Wings need some backup goaltending for sure. Howard is struggling and MacDonald sucks and Ozzie won't be back for awhile now. I doubt the Wings will do anything though.

Ken Holland and Co. aren't always looking to make a deal at the deadline, but if they do I know it'll be something worth while(i.e. Brad Stuart). Hopefully we can swing a solid #2 in net by the deadline and I'm sure Kenny has something up his sleeve.

The Hawks need a 2nd line center to play between Sharp and Hossa.

But what they really need is to play more consistent.

I don't know if the oilers would want anyone from the ducks but I would like for them to try and get penner it would be nice to have a 1st line of penner getzlaf perry. Since Bobby ryan is going to have his own line now I believe.

The Ducks actually have some good prospects, like Jake Gardiner, Emerson Etem, and depending on how his development has been, Luca Sbisa. I doubt any of those guys would be available though.

Don't forget Brandon MacMillan. :)

Only prospect I can c them moving is mitera and maybe gardner bit I know they will keep MacMillan as he's been amazing for us. Sbisa will also probably be kept as he makes the pronger deal worth it.

at first i thought Sbisa was not going to make it... He looked so unnatural... Then this year he decided to hit people and now he is a major part of the team (thus making the pronger deal very worth it).

buffalo needs a puck moving defenceman and a scorer now that roy is gone

we need more help but stafford and gerbe are definitly picking up there game.

now that the new owner is here we might actually have some deals

[collectorthornton]

The rumors of a Hemsky for Bogosian deal would make me pretty happy.

I've got nothing against Hemsky (would be happy to see him stay long term) but the Oilers seem to have a glut of players who fall under the "top 6 forward" banner, and will likely end up with one more in the draft this year.

For a while now, I've been thinking that the decision will have to come down to Hemsky or Penner. While I'd consider myself more of a fan of Hemsky, the fast / play maker / soft guy..... we've got too much of that right now anyway (even if Hemsky is the best one of the bunch). Penner has more size, capable of more grit.
