With the trading window for this NHL season closing in two weeks, fans across the globe wonder what will happen to their favorite teams and favorite players in the annual late-winter shopping spree that ends Feb. 26. This season, they have company in the curiosity department. It seems the men that will actually be pulling the trigger on the potential deals that will consume hockey fans for the next fortnight are just as unsure about what will transpire as the average fan.
"I'm interested as everybody," said Ken Holland, the Detroit Red Wings GM. "The calls are slowly starting to come in now from general managers basically saying; 'You know, we're on the bubble and we're going to see here over the next week or 10 days whether we're a buyer or a seller."
Looks like there will be more buyers than sellers with all of the teams bunched up. There are very few teams technically out of the playoffs.
