I will not be surprised in the least if #Habs Andrei Markov signs a new contract before Wednesday's trade deadline

Drew Stafford isn't going to let rumors bother him. He says he just wants to play hockey. #Sabres
— Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) March 2, 2025
Halak says he kind of expected something might happen. "It's hockey. It's business. I'm here right now."
— Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) March 2, 2025
Chris Stewart, Jaroslav Halak aware they may not be Sabres long, say will be invested while they are. Stewart set to play Monday, not Halak

Sabres light-hearted despite chaos. "They're sitting Hoffer tomorrow?!?" John Scott yells. Smiling Ehrhoff says "heard here first!"

Waiting game continues between Senators and veteran d-man Chris Phillips. Sounds like he wants 2 yr ext and Ottawa prefers 1 yr deal.

Davis Drewiske is not on the trip and will be put on waivers at noon. If not claimed, he will report to Hamilton

On a rush drill, Ott just tripped and slid 10 feet into crease and softly into Miller. Teammates laughing, banging sticks on the ice.

Sabres' Jaroslav Halak: "I’m happy to be here right now, and we’ll see what’s going to happen a few days from now if I’m still here."
— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) March 2, 2025
Sabres' Jaroslav Halak on what awaits Ryan Miller in St. Louis: "Probably less shots."

Hearing that Ray Shero is after Kesler makes a trade far more likely for me. Shero is like a Mountie - always gets his guy.
— Mark Spector (@SportsnetSpec) March 2, 2025
Keep hearing Chicago simply doesn't have the cap space for Kesler, doesn't have the C VAN wants, and unwilling to part with Brandon Saad.
— Mark Spector (@SportsnetSpec) March 2, 2025
For those asking, no indication that Martin Brodeur isn't backing up for Devils today, as planned.
— Tom Gulitti (@TGfireandice) March 2, 2025
Trade market is soft for Gagner. Very soft. RT @adam_olson7: Where is Gagner gonna go? Any fit in Chicago, playing with Kane?
— Mark Spector (@SportsnetSpec) March 2, 2025
Halak, Stewart know their time with Sabres could be short http://t.co/67dSbWxowO

That's all 9 NHL seasons with 20+ goals for Vanek, likely playing his final game at the Coliseum for #Isles.

Kopitar: "I don’t think anybody is pushing really for a big trade because we feel real comfortable with the personnel that we have..."

#FlaPanthers make a minor deal, acquire RW Mark Mancari from #stlBlues for LW Eric Selleck.
— George Richards (@GeorgeRichards) March 2, 2025
Stars D-man Stephane Robidas may be injured, but he's still attracting trade interest. Could be back mid-March.

#FlaPanthers acquire center @pirri91 from Chicago in exchange for Florida’s 3rd round draft choice in 2014. MORE: http://t.co/sxmNjGI8j2

Brandon Pirri asked for a trade a few weeks ago. Hawks just traded him to the Panthers. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 3, 2025
The #FlaPanthers plan on having new acquisition C Brandon Pirri join them in Boston for Tuesday's game v #Bruins @pirri91
— George Richards (@GeorgeRichards) March 3, 2025
Not a bad return for Brandon Pirri, who got his shot with Blackhawks but game didn't translate from AHL to NHL. Gotta play 200 feet.

Ryan Callahan: "Obviously my heart is still here and I want to be here. We’ll just see what happens."
