The NHL's 30 general managers ended their annual winter meetings Wenesday by singing from the same songsheet with apologies to Nilsson: "Everybody's talking at me but I don't hear a word they're sayin'."
There were one or two things that were advanced on the official agenda, such as introducing a one-minute penalty in overtime for experimentation by the American Hockey League next season, but trade talks dominated the sessions, since the NHL's trade deadline arrives next Tuesday.
The names flying about were mostly the same all week — Mats Sundin, Marian Hossa, Brian Campbell, Brad Richards, Dan Boyle, Vinny Prospal and Ollie Jokinen with Alex Tanguay and Michael Ryder being late arrivals. But nothing more than Tuesday's minor trade between the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings was made by the time the meetings wrapped up yesterday afternoon.
