NHL trade deadline: Tweetapalooza Part 2
/ Chris NicholsA recap of the first part of Wednesday's NHL trade deadline can be found in Part 1 of Tweetapalooza.
#NYR Really get the sense that potential trade for Marty St. Louis is taking priority right now over getting extension done for Callahan
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) March 5, 2025
Assuming St. Louis deal is finalized, I believe Tampa is looking at Callahan as a rental. No appetite for 6 years or $6M per. #Tradecentre
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 5, 2025
Hearing that the #Canucks are still optimistic that a Kesler deal will get done. Things much quieter on the Edler front. #tradecentre

Confirming Martin St-Louis is traded to the Rangers for Ryan Callahan. #lightning #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
Told Aboslutely nothing imminent between the Avs & Canadiens. Have talked in the last few days but nothing close.
— Louis Jean (@LouisJean_TVA) March 5, 2025
Was in Rangers room when news broke. Got a little silent pretty quickly.
— Andrew Gross (@AGrossRecord) March 5, 2025
Ducks are definitely actively engaged in trade talks this morning. On way to Honda Center to see if chips fall into place.
— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) March 5, 2025
Ryan Callahan is traded to Tampa without an understanding of an extension.
— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) March 5, 2025
Told that Callahan camp went down even further close to $6 million a year, still north of it though, but that NMC was big issue too
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
If Callahan signs with the Lightning, the Rangers get an additional pick back. #Tradecentre
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 5, 2025
Senators have had no talks with Sabres on Chris Stewart with 3:30 to deadline. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) March 5, 2025
#NYR closed locker room, no one willing to talk about it. A couple players look shocked
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) March 5, 2025
More details: the 2nd-rounder in 2014 to Tampa becomes a 1st if NYR gets to conf final; if Callahan re-signs in TB (con'td)
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
then NYR get TB 2nd in 2015 and TB gets Rangers 7th in 2015
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
The NHL's decision to pump pure oxygen into GM offices this season looks like it's paying dividends.
— Adam Proteau (@Proteautype) March 5, 2025
Tampa gets 15 1st; '14 2nd that becomes a 1st if NY gets to Conf Final. IF Callahan stays, NY gets our 2nd in '15 and tb get NY's 7th in '15
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
Breaking: Flames acquire and serve fruit, muffins and juice for the media. Sources say @SUNRandySportak still unhappy.
— Eric Francis (@EricFrancis) March 5, 2025
Continuing to hear Ottawa and Pittsburgh in the mix for Hemsky. #Tradecentre
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 5, 2025
Strange deadline-day situation for Canes' Jim Rutherford. May make a last-second move on plane just before wheels up on team charter flight.
— Chip Alexander (@ice_chip) March 5, 2025
LA still negotiating w Columbus for Gaborik.
— Billy Jaffe (@BJaffe) March 5, 2025
#CBJ have a deal on the table with the #LAKings and Gaborik has cleared Kings as a destination. Make sense. However, ...
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 5, 2025
#CBJ continue to talk w other teams re: Gaborik, perhaps waiting for top-end guys to go. Kings growing impatient, looking elsewhere too.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 5, 2025
#pens definitely still feel good about Kesler, if he is moved - regardless of what else they're looking at with other player.
— Rob Rossi (@RobRossi_Trib) March 5, 2025
Plan right now in Carolina is to hold off on Cam Ward trade and re-assess in the summer. Ruutu trade remains a possibility. Interest there.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) March 5, 2025
As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun Chris Phillips and OTT have agreed to 2 year contract at $2.5M per year. #Tradecentre
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 5, 2025
Gillis & co definitely working on Kesler deal & think it can get done. Obviously, AQ has to sign off. that's a long way from not authorized
— Jason Botchford (@botchford) March 5, 2025
Was told the Oilers showed interest in Tyler Myers, not clear if talks continuing. Sabres GM said today he's said no to deals for non-UFAs
— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) March 5, 2025
Brian Burke: "I'm not worried about my hair."
— Hockey Central (@SNHockeyCentral) March 5, 2025
Two more years of @CPhillipsFour in Ottawa! Congrats to the big guy!
— Bobby Ryan (@b_ryan9) March 5, 2025
Dave Nonis walked by and when asked how things are going, smiled and said "it's dead." #Leafs #tradetracker

BREAKING: @mattymarts17 just walked in my room-not many seats left-value way up now-@ColinMcDonald13 doesn't have enough assets #Tradecentre

Ales Hemsky to the Senators confirmed. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) March 5, 2025
Happy to see @CPhillipsFour staying with us for another 2years. Congrats Big Rig. :) #sens

#Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman isn't exactly hunkered down in his office working the phones. He's in stands watching practice. #tradedeadline
— Chris Kuc (@ChrisKuc) March 5, 2025
That's a 3rd in 2015 and a 5th in 2014 for Hemsky. As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, EDM takes back some salary. #Tradecentre
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 5, 2025

— Rob Rossi (@RobRossi_Trib) March 5, 2025
Multiple reports say Kings are talking with Sabres about someone other than Matt Moulson, and @mayorNHL says it's defenseman Brayden McNabb.
— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) March 5, 2025
Doesn't sound like Tim Thomas will be united with Lou.. #Panthers talking to a few teams including #Stars
— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) March 5, 2025
Full release and statement from #TBLightning GM Steve Yzerman on the St. Louis/Callahan trade: http://t.co/4k4ilDtzQY pic.twitter.com/NuOosrivTn
— Tampa Bay Lightning (@TBLightning) March 5, 2025
Pending trade call, sounds like BUF sends Brayden McNabb and two 2nd round picks to LA for two prospects - one of them Hudson Fasching.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 5, 2025
Nashville Preds trade Devan Dubnyk to Montreal for futures
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
#CBJ in the market for Tuomo Ruutu. Hearing interest for months, but not sure where Ruutu would fit. Also, #Canes will eat part of contract.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 5, 2025
Preds eat part of Dubnyk's salary in deal to Habs
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
Kings-Red Wings and Wild are trying to get Ryan Kesler. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
Don't forget the Penguins who are looking at Kesler. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
Nic Deslauriers is the other prospect LAK send to BUF as part of McNabb deal. #Tradecentre
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 5, 2025
Johnny Boychuk trying to convince Brad Marchand he's been traded for Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond in post-practice B's dressing room
— Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) March 5, 2025
Think there might be some people that owe @NYP_Brooksie an apology. Guess that deal doesn't sound so far-fetched now, huh?
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) March 5, 2025
Ryan Callahan's original ask of 8 years at $7.5 late last summer should be marked as the starting point for his New York departure.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 5, 2025
#Kings closing in on Gaborik. This should open up the flood gates #NHL
— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) March 5, 2025
End of the day, Rangers stood firm at $6 mil x 6 yrs. Callahan dropped to $6.25, but, NYR essentially ended negotiations on Tues.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 5, 2025
On-again, off-again Marian Gaborik to LAK from CBJ appear to be "on" again. If completed, bet on CBJ picking up big portion of Gabby money.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 5, 2025
Stafford on no St. Louis: "That's really weird. I'm sure for them it's one of those things like Millsy with us, the face of the franchise."
— Mike Harrington (@BNHarrington) March 5, 2025
Kings and Colubus were close to a trade on Gaborik this morning. It failed. Talks resumed. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
Flyers are out of the Ryan Kesler derby. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
LA Kings have acquired Marian Gaborik _ still pending trade call however
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
Callahan and Rangers were really close at the end, just $200,000 apart a year or so... lack of NTC in deal apparently big issue though...
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) March 5, 2025
As TSN reports, can confirm ... #CBJ get two conditional draft picks and Matt Frattin from #LAKings for Marian Gaborik.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 5, 2025
My friend just told me I made a mistake on Kesler. Its not the Wild but the Ducks who are in Kesler's derby.
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) March 5, 2025
So if my math is right, the Kings essentially traded Jonathan Bernier for Marian Gaborik, right?
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) March 5, 2025
With the return on Gaborik, the walls in the Islanders War Room are starting to look like the trash compacter scene from the 1st Star Wars
— Frank Provenzano (@frankprosports) March 5, 2025
The third-round pick the #CBJ would get if Kings win a playoff series or resign Gaborik was originally owned by Edmonton. #soitshigh
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) March 5, 2025
Lou Lamoriello true to form is not sharing his position with Brodeur or anyone else. They spoke this am, but no sense of direction.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 5, 2025
Koivu tells the guys he has not finalized next year plans. " I have to feel I'll make the team better."
— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) March 5, 2025
Only fair to add this, though, and it's genuine. #CBJ players really liked Gaborik, and the feeling was mutual. He loved Columbus, too.
