We're perhaps a bit far away for a thread for the entire NHL's deadline, but a cool article by Matt Sekeres caught my eye today... Some rumormongering for sure... but good evidence is provided.
Perhaps we are looking at
To STL:
Corey Schneider (.984M Hit, 1 more year)
Matthieu Schneider (1.55M Hit, UFA and retire after this year)
Pavol Demitra (4.0 M Hit, UFA at year end) or Steve Bernier (2.0M hit, 1 yr left)
To Van:
David Backes (2.5M hit, 1 year left then RFA)
Daryl Sydor (1.0 M hit, UFA at year end)
I'd say for sure if you could Move Demitra's contract for one more rental player and to get a useable D man... The trade would really be Corey Schneider and Something for Backes...
There was also talk of the Rangers looking to acquire the services of Pavol Demitra just around christmas time too... Perhaps there is a package to be explored there, problem is to get anything of value from the Rangers you'd need to also swallow a monster useless contract too (See Drury, Redden, Roszival, etc)
