The first trade of the day under their belts, Sportsnet and TSN look to the next three hours for some wheeling and dealing to come.
While we wait for the deal makers and deal breakers to be reviewed, a word from the waiver wire, where Sportsnet reviews the travels of Cory Conacher, claimed by Buffalo while all the trade speculation of the day boils up.
James Duthie enters the Lions den, with an interview with Brian Burke, who outlines that nothing is percolating in Calgary at this moment. And while Burke suggests that somewhere today the TSN panel will have something to discuss, but as for Calgary "he's not rushing to answer the telephone right now"
Gord Miller opens up discussion with the Trade Breakers, asking who is coming off the trading block, with Pierre Le Brun advising that you can scratch Chris Phillips off the list of those that could move, Ottawa signing him to an extension, removing any speculation that they would move him from the only team he's ever known in the NHL.
TSN's Trade Breakers panel looks at where the goal scorers may land by the time all is said and done, with Edmonton looking to send Ales Hemsky to the Senators.
Sportsnet has picked up the theme of Hemsky to Ottawa, suggesting that for the most part the trade would be a rental by the Senators, one that they hope will provide a boost for Jason Spezza's output. The panel weighs in that the problems in Ottawa are more along the lines of keeping the puck out of the net and that they should be looking for a defenseman.

Sportsnet offers up the trade day by collectibles, an interesting take on the day's developments as they share some photos provided by their audience.
Borrowing from Jimmy Kimmel, Sportsnet reviews some of the Mean tweets they have received of late. Looking to add to the volume of angry tweets, Sportsnet returns to their Strategy Room panel with PJ Stock ready to provide the incentive for viewers to take to twitter.

Sportsnet reports that Pittsburgh has picked up Marcel Goc in exchange for two draft picks heading towards Florida. A move that adds a bit more offence to the Penguins attack and should start up some conversations on what the Flyers may do to match it.
