Update: 1:27...in an oddly Buyers Market

Update at 1:27pm ET...

Hearing Tampa and the Flyers are talking a deal that could send Simmonds to the Lightning and return Boris Katchouk, who was at one point a linemate of Flyers prospect Morgan Frost, and possibly a draft pick...

I honestly can’t remember a trade deadline like this one...a deadline that is actually turning into a Buyers market with the amount of quality players piling up. Teams are NOT going to be able to get all they want out of these players because there are simply not enough teams looking to "go for it."

And there are consequences...Teams who are selling are going to try their best to get deals done early...Or they will simply run out of options.

Eleven leads I am chasing...and will be updating round the clock...


* Stone is still deciding...That is holding up a lot...

* The Caps are about to do something....we think. However, the longer this goes without a deal the more it feels like they may not get Hagelin...

* The Preds are trying to get Duchene...

* The Flyers are listening for Simmonds...

* The Bruins are talking to the Wild...

* Devante Smith-Pelly will get picked up on waivers...

* The Jets are growing impatient on waiting for Stone...They may move on to Simmonds...

* The Vegas Knights are VERY much in on Stone and/or Simmonds.

* The Leafs are upping their offer to land Ferland and perhaps adding to the deal by also getting a D-man out of Carolina...This trade could get VERY Big...

*The Islanders are in on Duchene, but would rather grab Panarin.

*Columbus is in on Stone, Duchene, and could get in on almost anyone....They are buyers more than they are sellers.

MUCH More to come...before the podcast.
