NHL trade deadline Tuesday

What moves do you guys expect the Wild to make? Or any big names being shuffled around for that matter?
I heard rumors we might ship Rolston somewhere, due to some salary cap clauses that are relavent to him turning 35 this year. I've heard we're shopping around for a center.
I've heard Olli Jokinen's name as far as centers go, but I've also heard he is denying any trade rumors. I think Jokinen would be too good to be true, I am too conditioned to Minnesota sports not pulling through for the fan so my expectations are not set too high, but it certainly would be nice.

If any MN sports team will make a good move for the fans, it would be the Wild. We'll have to wait and see i guess.

Forsberg signs in Colorado. I'll believe that's a major move when I see it. That guy is too far gone to make a difference.

When healthy he was a top 3 in the world player. The problem is, he was healthy like 3 years out of 10...
He's one of my faves, however it still seems like his problems are still lingering and I don't see Colorado going too far...

I hate the sound of Rolston leaving. I think he's my favorite Wild player ever. But, it has to happen eventually. Jokinen would be awesome, I just don't see the Wild pulling anything too major off.

Bring in Hossa!

I agree, I even mention in another post, I think in the NHL forum that I want Hossa. That would be killer.
In other news, Prospal was traded from the Bolts to the Flyers today. That docks his stock by about 50%.

Sergei Fedorov goes to Washington... The greatest player in the history of the EA NHL series on the Sega Genesis gets dealt yet again.

Brian Campbell (Buffalo) on the move to San Jose. And the Canucks deal Cooke to the Capitals.

Colorado reaquire defensmen Adam Foote.
Stars and Bolts mix it up, Bolts possibly finally finding some steady goal tending in Mike Smith. They also recieve Jussi Jokinen, sending Brad Richards and Johan Holmqvist to the Stars.
Cristobal Huet sent to Washington for a 2nd round draft pick...Montreal obviously looking to put their goal tending on young Carey Price's shoulders down the stretch.
I've also heard rumors that Montreal are still the front runners in the Marion Hossa trade.

Matt Cook is no longer in the division as he has been sent to the Capitals.

Hossa is joining Crosby, Malkin, and the rest of the Pens? Wow.

Oh... looks like that nutjob, Pascal Dupuis, is going with Hossa to Pitt in that same trade.

No kidding? NHL.com hasn't reported the Hossa trade...that could help me in fantasy!
Marc-Andre Bergeron was just sent to the Anahiem Ducks for a draft pick. I think his value just went up a lot higher. He'll be solid on the Ducks' PP unit.

Yea...I'm hearing a Hossa interview live right now on NHL.com's stream. Does anyone know what time the deadline is?
J.S. Aubin just traded to the Ducks...doesn't mean much. Some goal tending depth.

The deadline was at 2:00.

So does that mean the Wild are officially not making any moves? The live stream of the NHL network is still reporting trades, reporting the J.S. Aubin trade after 2:30. Are they not strict on the actual deadline, or are they just being reported late?

In baseball, I know you still hear trades trickling in about an hour or so after the deadline has passed so that the league can approve any last minues deals... Probably the same thing here.
