Not Enough Sellers Right Now

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
Right now, because of the tight playoff races, there are more buyers than sellers. Only six teams are likely to be in a sell-off mode—the Islanders, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Ottawa and Colorado.
We’ll all have to wait until Wednesday (1 p.m. MST) to see who moves where. In the meantime, here’s a breakdown of each of the 30 teams’ needs and wants:
Western Conference
San Jose: The only real question: Do they keep Jonathan Cheechoo, who is miscast as a third-liner after losing his spot to Devin Setoguchi, or move him to free up cap space?...
Chicago: The Blackhawks badly need a No. 2 centre, preferably one with some size. They are probably in the Tim Connolly/Nik Antropov hunt. Trying winger Patrick Sharp there failed, and rookie winger Kris Versteeg, all 180 pounds of him, is there now.
