Former captain/Stanley Cup winner/current VP and GM Joe Sakic has been looking to acquire a defenseman, mostly a top 6 guy with 1 year left on his contract, and has also been shopping superstars Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog, and previously trading grinder Cody McLeod to Nashville. (Read my previous post) Despite Duchene rumors to Nashville or the Islanders, the price tag for him is very high and I doubt he'll be traded. Anyway, today, some Avalanche news has broken out. Here's the latest on that news.

In addition to that, when being asked about if he wanted to be traded from Colorado, winger Jarome Iginla replied "I would like to, at the deadline, go somewhere. I would like to be in the playoffs. I hope that there is some opportunity to go and play in the playoffs. Those are the best games, the most fun for sure, and you have a chance to win. So, no, I haven't given up on that chance to win." Iginla, 39, is going to be a UFA on July 1st. His last playoff experience was when he played with the Boston Bruins in 2014. He also captained the Calgary Flames to the 2004 Stanley Cup final, when they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 7 games. He has 6 goals and 6 assists (12 points) and is a -17 in 48 games this season.
Other news: Sabres place C Cal O'Reilly on waivers, Devils place LW Luke Gazdic on waivers. GM Steve Yzerman says Lightning willing to make a trade; former Wild first rounder Alex Tuch to play NHL debut.
