However, if a few things fall perfectly int...

Amaro signed through 2013 The good news is that both Ruben Amaro and Charlie Manuel are under contract through 2013. The bad news may be that looming questions regarding Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, Jimmy Rollins and the Phillies lineup have yet to be answered.

Posted on 28 Feb 2011 by George Kouvalis.
Buffalo made the first move towards the trade deadline late on Sunday night by acquiring former 43 goal scorer Brad Boyes from the St. Louis Blues for a 2nd rounder. Boyes was a dominant goal scorer while playing for the Erie Otters of the OHL in the early 2000′s and is a proven winner leading Erie to a 2002 OHL Championship. Boyes adds some much needed scoring to the offense. Despite...

Rumination on the Perkins Deal
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by Michael Johnson.
So where do we go from here? Let us put aside our collective confusion over this deal for a moment and try to put things into perspective. We are continually told that sports are a “business”. Simply put, this deal was a business decision. In my opinion we returned with the best player in the deal by getting Jeff Green. Green is that scorer off of the bench that we have been looking...

So as the number 1 team in the Eastern Conference with wins over every potential title contender this season, the Boston Celtics trade one of their biggest defensive specialist in Kendrick Perkins.

Strong Possibility Phillips and Kovalev are headed to Montreal
Posted on 23 Feb 2011 by Corey Krakower.
It’s been an eventful 24 hours on the Chris Phillips front. Yesterday, sources very close to the Ottawa Senators and Chris Phillips told ProSportsBlogging that the Senators were trying to move Filip Kuba to accommodate Chris Phillips’ request to stay and sign a new deal with the Sens (in all likelihood 3 years). That has not happened and it doesn’t look like Ottawa will be able to unload ...

Posted on 22 Feb 2011 by Corey Krakower.
There has been lots of talk about Chris Phillips’ future with the Ottawa Senators. Amidst a fire sale by GM Bryan Murray, Chris Phillips, a 32-year-old veteran who is in his 13th season with the Sens, has expressed interest in being part of the pending rebuild in Ottawa. He loves the city and does not want to leave. If only it was entirely his choice. It is obvious that Chris Phillips is no l...

DEADLINE BUZZ
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Travis Currie.
The only thing certain about this year's trade deadline is that Joe Nieuwendyk definitely has his work cut out for him. Sell ? Buy ? Stand pat ? Up until the All-Star break it seemed clear that the Stars would be a playoff team and shipping anybody out was not an option. Even Brad Richards. Things have fogged up dramatically since then. The team is on a horrible 1-8 skid and not only lost it's ...

Leafs’ Trade Deadline Game Plan
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Brian Burke has long been a proponent of the “why wait until the last minute” mindset when it comes to the NHL trade deadline, and this year has been no different. Even as his Maple Leafs make a charge into play-off contention, the team’s GM had had a busy few weeks of working the phones and already has three significant deals under his belt to show for it. Whether or not the trades actua...
