Team wants and needs at the trade deadline from Garrioch
  • Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: It doesn’t look like the Stars will be moving Brad Richards (reported for the 1000th time). Confirmed sellers are Senators, Islanders, Devils, Blue Jackets, Maple Leafs and Blues. The Leafs and Sens will basically talk about anyone on their rosters. The Penguins are likely looking for a center. The Bruins may also be looking for a center, and the Capitals are looking for a 2nd line center. The Bruins have the 2 1st round picks and the Capitals have lots of prospects. The Red Wings may look at Tomas Vokoun.
