News Release: The #Sens have acquired defenceman Patrick Mullen from @VanCanucks in exchange for Jeff Costello: http://t.co/iAjRm2YsdS
— Ottawa Senators (@Senators) March 4, 2025
Sure hope the Flyers don't give up the pieces I have heard for Kesler - if it's for a Doughty , Weber or Keith then yes !!
— Rick Tocchet (@RealRocket22) March 4, 2025
Conacher: "I don't want to leave Ottawa but if you do get picked up, it's someone who wants you."
— James Gordon (@SensReporter) March 4, 2025
Internally, #Flyers aren't talking Kesler. Externally, they're pushing the price up on other teams. Some people don't know the difference

Welcome to the @WashCaps @Dustinpenner25! Life as a hockey fan in #Winkler just got easier! #Caps

Spezza says "you are going to hear all kinds of rumours at this time of year." Isn't concerned. #Sens

Interesting comment from Cooper on trade deadline: "Sometimes the wish list is doing absolutely nothing at all, and we like where we're at."
— Damian Cristodero (@LightningTimes) March 4, 2025
He followed that up with this: "We're probably going to make the biggest deal of the deadline. We're going to get (Stamkos) back."
— Damian Cristodero (@LightningTimes) March 4, 2025
More Cooper: "No other team is picking up a 60-goal scorer, so that's good for us."
— Damian Cristodero (@LightningTimes) March 4, 2025
I am hearing NYR and Ryan Callahan are inching towards a contract agreement but they're not there...yet. #TSN #Tradecentre

The Senators and Chris Phillips have moved closer on term. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) March 4, 2025
Led to believe there is a two-year offer on the table to Phillips. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) March 4, 2025
Getzlaf said he had "no voice" in @Dustinpenner25 deal, is fine with move of guy he previously pushed for to be signed.
— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) March 4, 2025
Mark Fistric had high praise of Robidas from Dallas days, says team needs his toughness.

Sounds like the Caps are sniffing around Buffalo's Jaroslav Halak. #NHL

Of course Minnesota really is the center of the hockey universe. And now they've got him. #Bryz #universe

As per my recent discussion w @NYRangers,status quo w Callahan nothing new to report.

#bluejackets Gaborik name picking up steam. Now becoming a cheaper alternative for a few teams looking for scoring like the #Kings.
— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) March 4, 2025
Avs getting lots of calls from teams. Gonna be an interesting next 24 hours on Stastny
— Adrian Dater (@adater) March 4, 2025
#CBJ GM Jarmo Kekalainen knee deep right now, trying to move Marian Gaborik. Believe they're looking for immediate help on defense.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 4, 2025
#LAKings are in on Gaborik. Nothing would spike their interest more than if #Ducks land Vanek.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 4, 2025
BB said play of @f_andersen30 forced their hand. "He came up here as a fill-in and he just kept playing better and better and better."
— Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) March 4, 2025
On Callahan, I'd have to think it's getting very close to make or break time, close gap and get contract done...or failing that, move him.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 4, 2025
Hearing Phoenix is kicking tires on Hemsky.
— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) March 4, 2025
I just kicked an actual tire. Not recommended.
— Sean Leahy (@Sean_Leahy) March 4, 2025
As of this morning, Tuomo Ruutu hadn't been asked to waive his no-move. Healthy cap hit and his salary goes up, another obstacle.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) March 4, 2025
#Rangers and Callahan trying to close the gap on a new 6 yr deal. They continue to exchange proposals today.

Source: Quiet for now with Ducks, Isles and Vanek. Anaheim views Vanek as distant backup plan. Ducks really want a center.

Jim Nill said some contenders started calling about Stephane Robidas a few days ago, talked with Robidas and left decision with him. ...
— Mark Stepneski (@StarsInsideEdge) March 4, 2025
.... According to Nill, Robidas said he loved the guys in Dallas, but decided to accept a trade to contender & pursue a Stanley Cup.
— Mark Stepneski (@StarsInsideEdge) March 4, 2025
#Flyers heavy on the blueline with addition of MacDonald. Look for them to move someone out. Meszaros and L. Schenn names are out there.

Brad Boyes agrees to terms on 2 year deal with FLA. $2.625M AAV.

Sooo, about Ryan Kesler...

Best. #NHLTradeDeadline Eve. Ever. Evahhh!!!
— Chris Nichols (@NicholsOnHockey) March 4, 2025
Vancouver retaining some of the money on the Luongo deal.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) March 4, 2025
Okay. @NicholsOnHockey and @WeBleedBlueNYC are responsible for trending #NHLTradeDeadline in America. I should know as a robot.
— Who Trended it ? (@WhoTrendedIT) March 4, 2025
Have to think trading Luongo signals change in #Canucks' organizational direction. Still plenty of time as Edler, Kesler rumours simmer.
— Stephen Whyno (@SWhyno) March 4, 2025
I would urge patience with Jacob Markstrom from #Canucks' faithful. You'll see a lot of 'bust' tweets today, but they will be proven wrong.
— Chris Nichols (@NicholsOnHockey) March 4, 2025
Can confirm that it is Shawn Matthias as the additional player going back to Vancouver
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) March 4, 2025
Fletcher said acquisition price and contract were key for bryzgalov so he could leave door open to maybe do other stuff #mnwild
— Michael Russo (@Russostrib) March 4, 2025
Fletcher indicated he was in on other goalies, but he wasn't willing to give up young assets or high picks #mnwild
— Michael Russo (@Russostrib) March 4, 2025
Quite a day with Luongo on move to FLA. Convinced this more related to fallout from non-start in Heritage than reason for the non-start.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 4, 2025
Dispatch from Vancouver: Everyone in the grocery store is on their phone right now. NOT EVEN KIDDING.
— Erin Valois (@evalois) March 4, 2025
Wonder whether #FlaPanthers kept Roberto Luongo's old jersey? pic.twitter.com/0ipUIeD70w
— Dave Stubbs (@Dave_Stubbs) March 4, 2025
Obviously Luongo trade to Panthers required tons of work. Many discussions since Sunday and many different player scenarios discussed...
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 4, 2025
15 percent is what I hear on what #Canucks will pick up on the Luongo to #Panthers deal.
— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) March 4, 2025
The lack of a premium, young center moving Red Wings down the list for Ryan Kesler. Likely only back in the mix if Philly, others drop out.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) March 4, 2025
Was told...at one point there were at least 3 different trade scenarios between the Panthers and Canucks. Sounds like Luongo knew yesterday.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 4, 2025
Luongo and Steven Anthony for Markstrom and Matthias. Canucks are picking up part of the salary....will be finalized after trade call
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 4, 2025
“@strombone1: 🌴” Hey bud. Quick question. Do we get the air miles or does the team for the flights?

VAN is taking back money on Luongo's contract. It varies in amounts each year. Around $1M (ballpark) for each of first four years.

First time in many years I don't cringe at the sound of a ringing phone on days like today/tomorrow #tradedeadline
— Steve Sullivan (@Sullivan26) March 4, 2025
The #Sens haven't given Chris Phillips an ultimatum or deadline to tell him he must sign by tomorrow or be dealt. Good back and forth.
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) March 4, 2025
The #coyotes have dealt defenceman David Rundblad to the #blackhawks.
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 4, 2025
Pittsburgh and Edmonton have chatted on Ales Hemsky... could be something Pitt re-visits at some point... a possibility.
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 4, 2025
It's going to be hard for Canucks fans to truly evaluate this deal until years later when the NHL makes up a new rule about it.
— Down Goes Brown (@DownGoesBrown) March 4, 2025
Can confirm Rundblad to Blackhawks for second-round pick this year.
— Sarah McLellan (@azc_mclellan) March 4, 2025
The Jets are working on a contract extension with D Mark Stuart. He is schedule to be a UFA. Lots of interest. #NHLTradeDeadline

Lots of spec FLA G Tim Thomas will be moving. Keep in mind, though, Thomas has a NTC. Only moving if he wants to go.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 4, 2025
Hearing Thomas Vanek may not be in NYI lineup tonight
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 4, 2025
Sounds like action is heating up with a Thomas Vanek deal. Deal could be done by midnight. Garth getting fair offers.
— Chris Botta (@ChrisBottaNHL) March 4, 2025
Again, Vanek not going to Ducks. LA? Boston? Don't know. Isles smart to scratch him tonight. Too much at stake.
— Chris Botta (@ChrisBottaNHL) March 4, 2025
Sounds like Buffalo's preference may be the prospect route for Ehrhoff rather than draft picks if the match is right.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) March 4, 2025
With trade deadline looming, not sure how Isles could have justified NOT scratching Vanek. Right move.
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) March 4, 2025
Vanek very unlikely to head to #LAKings.
— Jon Rosen (@lakingsinsider) March 4, 2025
Will be fun watching #ducks #kings chasing the same players ( Vanek Moulson Cammy Gaborik) trying to one up each other. # #Californiabattle
— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) March 4, 2025
Isles working on a Vanek deal, which is why he's sitting. Whether or not it comes together, we shall see...

And on another note me and Tiny Tim are gonna rip it up the rest of the year!!!!!!! #dreamteam
— Strombone (@strombone1) March 5, 2025
Am told, contrary to reports, the #Ducks are not in the hunt for Vanek but definitely in the mix for Kesler.
— Louis Jean (@LouisJean_TVA) March 5, 2025
Told the #Canucks would consider trading Kesler to Western Conf team. #Ducks have all the assets (players, prospects, picks).
— Louis Jean (@LouisJean_TVA) March 5, 2025
Canucks gave Luongo's agent, Pat Brisson permission to speak with teams on the weekend. Florida was the focal point of Brisson's campaign.

— Larry Brooks (@NYP_Brooksie) March 5, 2025
The #coyotes send Rostislav Klelsa, Chris Brown and a fourth-round pick to the #caps for Martin Erat and prospect Garrett Mitchell.
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 5, 2025
Why wasn't this done sooner? GMMG: the team he really wanted to go to was FLA. they didn't have the wherewithal financially to take him on"
— Jason Botchford (@botchford) March 5, 2025
#NYR Can confirm that Ryan Kesler will not waive his NTC to come to NY Rangers, as first reported by @NYP_Brooksie
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) March 5, 2025
Believe the #hurricanes have received an offer on Justin Peters, but the team may elect to finish the season with three goaltenders.
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 5, 2025
Thank you Panther fans I really enjoyed my time playing in front of you guys! Met a lot of great people in Florida

can confirm the #nhljets have had discussions with Mark Stuart's agent Matt Keator about an extension for the veteran defenceman #bn
— gary lawless (@garylawless) March 5, 2025
Cheveldayoff had to have taken Stuart's temperature on extension before ruling on whether to trade him or not. My guess is Stu stays put #bn

Gillis and Kesler's agent Kurt Overhardt were chatting moments ago here at the arena. #canucks

I'm told there's nothing to the Vanek to San Jose rumors. Sharks like their team and will likely make only minor moves, if any at all.

Tim Thomas on Luongo situation: "Dale went kicking tires and found one that needed to be pumped."

Brodeur said he has discussed his future with Lamoriello, but has yet to be asked to waive his no trade clause.

Brodeur didn't want to discuss specifics of his conversation with Lamoriello, but said they discussed rest of this season and next season.
— Tom Gulitti (@TGfireandice) March 5, 2025
Brodeur didn't rule out possibility of signing extension for next season.
— Tom Gulitti (@TGfireandice) March 5, 2025
It seems almost certain that Brodeur wants to play again next season. As he's said before, it might not be in NJ.
— Tom Gulitti (@TGfireandice) March 5, 2025
By the way, Cory Schneider called the Roberto Luongo trade, "a year too late."
