With forty-five minutes remaining until the trade deadline passes, here is what we have learned since our last post some twenty-five minutes ago.Bill Guerin, who has been held out of the Islanders last few games, has finally been dealt. The veteran forward is joining Sid the Kid in Pittsburgh. The Islanders will pick up a conditional draft pick in the deal, in addition to the rest of Guerin's $4.5 million salary that they no longer need to pay. The conditional pick will be either a third, fourth, or fifth round pick, depending on where the Penguins finish the season.
Marian Gaborik is being shopped by the Minnesota Wild. Gaborik has missed almost all of this season with a hip injury, but was recently cleared to play by Minnesota's doctors. It's odd that the Wild waited this long to shop their all-time leading scorer, with less than an hour until the deadline passes. We'll find out within the hour if Marian Gaborik is dealt.
TSN is also reporting that Chris Neil is being sent from Ottawa to Florida. It is not yet known what the Senators will receive as compensation.
More coming...
