Deadline Day

Hockey deadline day is one of the most memorable and exciting days in the NHL. Today we've seen a number of trades happen, unfortunately, the leafs have yet to strike. There have been many rumours that the leafs were targeting Brad Richards as well as John Michael Liles but those rumours have been shot down by Brian Burke. Right now there aren't a lot of big names out there that are available. According to a source Burke is still looking for a defenseman and the 3rd rounder they acquired in the Versteeg deal is being used as bait. According to a different source Toronto has yet to agree on a deal with winger Clarke Macarthur, this will most likely mean that he will stay in Toronto and go to an arbitration hearing or get traded right before the deadline or get traded on draft day.
