Updates as they come Trade Deadline day...

Gonna post updates as i come across them, feel more than free to give me a heads up on things, I'm trying to keep this relatively legit, so i'm trying to only post stuff from good news sources (espn, tsn.ca, the hockey news), so you won't see any bs like TIOPS/Eklund reports the penguins are closing in on...

9:30 Am - Not much going on now, from the guys on ESPN and NHL network i've heard varying reports of seeing only a few trades today to seeing over 2 dozen... In other news our thoughts and prayers go out to Hossa who was taken off the ice in a stretcher last night... Nobody ever likes to see a player of that caliber go down like that....

11:04 AM - Via ESPN, The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded goalie Pascal Leclaire to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Antoine Vermette. LINK

11:23 AM - All is quiet on the NHL Front....guys on NHL network claim shit will start hitting the fan around noon...

1:37 PM - Sorry everybody wasn't at my computer for a while, nothing major happened, pens made some minor moves that don't exactly make sense, Jokinen to Flames is probably the deal of the day, Recchi to boston... Also there is a scandal down in WBS...

1:43 PM - I have this bad feeling the Pens are gonna overpay for some mediocre talent...cough cough....Guerin...cough cough

1:48 PM - Via ESPN, apparently the Pens are back in the Jarko Ruutu talks, not sure what to think of this, wouldn't mind having him around but this is not the push we need to make a cup run...LINK

2:00 PM - TSN is reporting that Guerin is coming to Pittsburgh, no other confirmation and the cost is TBA...Pierre on ESPN Confirms LINK hopefully we didn't give up much for this move...

2:07 PM - TSN claims that the deal for Guerin is a conditional pick, if the pens miss the playoffs it's a 5th round pick, if we make the playoffs it's a 4th round, and if we win a series it's a 3rd round...so not that much, which is good

I don't want Guerin and I don't want Ruutu back. As of right now, this sucks..

Ok not giving up much for Guerin is good. This could end up working out well..
