The clock is ticking for NHL general managers to bolster their lineups for a post-season run. Today is the NHL trade deadline with teams having until 3 pm Eastern to make transactions. The Maple Leafs and Oilers were busy over the weekend with both teams making multiple trades. Last night Toronto sent forward Daniel Winnik to Washington for a package, including a 2016 second-round draft pick. -

The Leafs traded their sixth player this month late last night, dealing Daniel Winnik to Washington. Others to move as Toronto collects draft picks: Dion Phaneuf, Shawn Matthias, Roman Polak, Nick Spaling, and James Reimer. The Leafs host the Lightning tonight. -

Connor McDavid is still an Oilers untouchable but GM Peter Chiarelli said he's willing to move rebuild with a cornerstone player, previously considered untouchable, like Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle. Chiarelli told media Saturday "Anything's possible."

In the five seasons since the Jets landed back Winnipeg in 2011, the franchise has only made one trade on deadline day.
On Feb. 27, 2012, GM Kevin Cheveldayoff dealt pending unrestricted free agent defenceman Johnny Oduya to Chicago for a second- and third-round pick in the 2013 draft.
The Jets also plucked defenceman Grant Clitsome off waivers on the same day. -
The Ottawa Senators are set to take the ice at Canadian Tire Centre at 10:30 for practice today. With the acquisition of Dion Phaneuf and signing Chris Neil to a one-year extension things are expected to be quiet in Ottawa. GM Bryan Murray still interested in a top-six forward, but the price will need to be right. Senators could look to try and move D Patrick Wiercioch and winger Shane Prince as both have struggled to stay in the lineup on a regular basis. Other name in play is Alex Chiasson. -

Good morning from the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary where the team is on the road in Philadelphia but GM Brad Treliving and his Hockey Operations team are here, hard at work. The big fish up for grabs for the Flames, who are sellers, is pending unrestricted free agent Kris Russell. The native of Caroline, Alberta is viewed as one of the most notable rental defencemen on the market. Spotted minutes ago was President of Hockey Operations Brian Burke and I know you're wondering, he's got a red tie on today but no, it's not tied up. -

The Jets put D Adam Pardy on waivers Sunday.
In 14 games this season, the 31-year-old only has one assist.
He has played in three games since veteran blue-liner Mark Stuart broke his hand in a Feb. 13 game against Edmonton. -

In Philadelphia, where Calgary begins a four-game road trip tonight against the Flyers, the Flames will hit the ice for morning skate at 11:30 am ET. One question is who all will be in the group that hits the ice. The Flames roster is officially sitting at just 21 players. With Kris Russell on the trade block, GM Brad Treliving said on the weekend that a recall or recalls would be happening. Two candidates are D Brett Kulak, who opened the season with the Flames and RW Garnet Hathaway. Both were scratches last night for Stockton, who is the Flames AHL affiliate.

Today is the second trade deadline for Brad Treliving as the Flames GM. Last year, it was his trade of Curtis Glencross to Washington for a second and third round draft pick that set the table for his big splash on the opening day of the 2015 NHL Draft when he sent three picks to Boston to acquire defenceman Dougie Hamilton. After a tough October as Hamilton learned Calgary's defensive system under coach Bob Hartley, the 6-foot-6 blueliner settled in nicely and since, he's been a solid part of the Flames second defence pairing. Hamilton looks poised to be one of the cornerstone pieces for Calgary going forward as the Flames progress their rebuild.

A source tells AP's Stephen Whyno that the Arizona Coyotes have acquired winger Sergei Plotnikov from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for prospect Matthias Plachta and a conditional seventh-round pick in 2017. Signed out of the K-H-L last off-season, the 25-year-old Plotnikov has just two assists in 32 games. He is set to be a restricted free agent this summer. -

Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary were all busy over the weekend as they look to the future.
The Leafs sent goaltender James Reimer, defenceman Roman Polak and forward Nick Spaling to the San Jose Sharks and Shawn Matthias to the Colorado Avalanche. Forward Daniel Winnik was dealt along with a draft pick to Washington late last night for a 2016 second-round pick, defenceman Connor Carrick and forward Brooks Laich. Pending free agents Michael Grabner, Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau and Brad Boyes are still available.
The Oilers were also busy over the weekend, trading defenceman Justin Schultz (Penguins), forward Teddy Purcell (Panthers) and goaltender Anders Nilsson (Blues) in separate deals.
Calgary also sent veteran forward Jiri Hudler to the Panthers. -

Should be noted that all are accounted for at Senators practice. Clarke MacArthur had a chat with coach Dave Cameron. MacArthur is hoping to return from a concussion and is expected to undergo final testing this week to determine whether or not he is cleared for play.

Last season on their way to the team’s first playoff appearance (99 points) since moving to Winnipeg, the Jets made five trades. The biggest was Feb. 11 when Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian were sent to Buffalo for three players currently on the roster; Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers and Joel Armia..
This season, the Jets have 56 points (26-31-4) and are second last in the Western Conference.
The only trade they’ve made this season was sending captain Andrew Ladd to Chicago last week for Marko Dano and some picks. -
The Vancouver Canucks (24-25-12) currently sit eight points out of the playoffs in the Western Conference and are expected to be sellers before the trade deadline. Vancouver returned to the post-season in 2014-15 in Willie Desjardins' first year as head coach, finishing with 101 points, before losing out to the Calgary Flames in the opening round. -
The Flames have taken to the ice in Philadelphia for their morning skate. Kris Russell is among them. He has missed the last seven games with a lower body injury. He has been practicing with the team the last few days and on Saturday coach Bob Hartley said he's close to ready. The question is when he is declared ready, what team will the pending UFA be suiting up for?
