With less than a week until the NHL Trade Deadline, check out the latest trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. Flip it and Reverse It? The Buffalo Sabres made the first big move of the pre-trade deadline season by dealing Ryan Miller and Steve Ott for Chris Stewart, Jaroslav Halak and draft picks, but they are probably far from done dealing. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun believes the Sabres could look to flip Stewart before Wednesday. LeBrun believes the Sabres may consider Stewart as a possible fit for the teams rebuilding core, given that he has one year remaining on his contract and is still only 26. However, LeBrun countered, the offers on Stewart could also be enticing to the Sabres with the Ottawa Senators believed to be interested in the forward dating back to before Fridays blockbuster. Meanwhile, LeBrun tweeted Saturday afternoon that the Minnesota Wild are kicking the tires on goaltenders available via trade, including Halak. Pitt Stop? While Ryan Keslers availability via trade remains a contentious issue around the Canucks, the Pittsburgh Penguins might be leading the charge to try to pry the 29-year-old loose. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Reviews Rob Rossi tweeted early Saturday that the Pens are "very interested and [it] sounds like theyre on his list." Kesler has two years remaining on his current contract at an average annual value of $5 million. Rossi expanded on his tweet in an article on Saturday, reporting that the Penguins would offer Brandon Sutter, two 2014 draft picks and the Canucks choice of defensemen Simon Despres or Brian Dumoulin Out of Oil If this is Ales Hemskys last week in an Oiler uniform, the Czech forward appears ready for whatever comes next. "It could be my last two games in this locker-room, so I better enjoy it,” the 30-year-old winger said after practice on Friday. “I want to enjoy every moment Ill spend with the guys, with my friends, with the people I know." “Im ready for it. Im excited.” With a provincial showdown with the Flames on tap for Saturday it could provide one last battle-ground for the winger, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Strictly Business Cory Schneider doesnt want to see his crease-mate Martin Brodeur traded, but understands that if the 41-year-old does get moved its just part of the business of being an NHL player. “Marty is big part of this team and has been forever. Im not sure there is any player as synonymous with the franchise as Marty has been or is. So it wouldnt be just anybody leaving this team. It would be the most important player in the franchises history,” the 27-year-old netminder told The Star-Ledger. Schneider, of course, is no stranger to speculation, having endured years of rumours in Vancouver playing alongside Roberto Luongo. The way that situation played out this off-season – resulting in his relocation to New Jersey – has shown Schneider that anything is possible. “It would be difficult for everybody, but thats kind of what happens. I didnt think I was going to get traded and I did. It happens. It could happen to anybody.” www.cheapnfljerseysonline.net/nike-nfl-jerseys/ . A Swiss Federal Tribunal ruling published Friday said that FIFAs disputes panel and the Court of Arbitration for Sport correctly imposed the sanction for Nantes enticing Guinea forward Ismael Bangoura to break his contract with Dubai club Al Nasr in January 2012. http://www.cheapnfljerseysonline.net/nike-nfl-jerseys/ . Agent Mike McCartney confirmed via Twitter on Sunday that Mendenhall had decided to end his playing career after six NFL seasons, all but one of them with the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Sports Network) - A return trip to the postseason is becoming less and less likely for Milwaukee as the club prepares to host an Orlando Magic team on the cusp of another playoff berth. The Bucks, who are opening up a four-game homestand tonight, followed up a disastrous loss in Boston on Sunday by getting routed again in Atlanta on Tuesday. Joe Johnson made a season-high six three-pointers en route to 36 points in that one, as the Hawks dominated Milwaukee, 110-85. Andrew Bogut finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds for the Bucks, who were coming off an embarrassing 87-56 loss to the Celtics and are now sitting in the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference, 2 1/2 games behind Indiana for the final playoff slot with 16 games left in the regular season. Carlos Delfino and Corey Maggette added 13 and 11 points, respectively. We had trouble getting back on defense early in the game, and we looked a little bit tired, Bucks head coach Scott Skiles said. We tried to put fresher bodies in there, but that didnt work. It was just one of those games where we didnt play very well. Milwaukee, which is 17-16 at Bradley Center, will also face New Jersey, New York and Sacramento on its residency. Orlando is all but assured of another playoff berth and is currently fourth in the East and 4 1/2 games behind Miami for the Southeast Division lead..dddddddddddd In fact the Magic could clinch their latest postseason berth with a win tonight and a loss by either Indiana or Charlotte. The Pacers are in Boston while the Bobcats are visiting Houston. Most recently the Magic fell to 2-2 on a five-game road trip when Pau Gasol led the way with 23 points and five rebounds, while frontcourt mate Andrew Bynum held his own against Dwight Howard with 10 points and 18 boards, as the Los Angeles Lakers used a big second half to down Orlando, 97-84, at Staples Center. Tonight he was all over me and all over the basket, said Howard about Bynum. It was a tough game out there tonight. But, I like to battle and I look forward to the next one. Howard led the Magic with 22 points and 15 rebounds, while four other players reached double figures led by Jameer Nelson and Ryan Anderson, who each scored 13 points. Hedo Turkoglu donated 12 for Orlando, which turned it over 18 times. Were pretty good when were not throwing the ball to the other team, Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy told the teams website. The Magic have won eight of their past 10 meetings with the Bucks but Milwaukee did earn a victory in the Badger State back on Dec. 4. However, both Howard and point guard Jameer Nelson were sidelined for that game with a nasty stomach virus that some speculated was food poisoning. cheap jerseyscheap jerseys from china ' ' '
