Trades That ‘Could’ Have Happened

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,

• Ray Shero was busy around deadline time. Trying to make sure his club gets to the post-season, sources say the Penguins GM tried to re-acquire LW Ryan Malone from the Lightning before making the deal to get LW Chris Kunitz from Anaheim. The belief is the Penguins offered D Ryan Whitney in exchange for Malone, who signed as a UFA with Tampa Bay in the summer. When the Penguins were rebuffed, Shero, looking to add a winger to play alongside Sidney Crosby, went and got Kunitz.

• The Panthers came close to moving D Jay Bouwmeester at the deadline. Sources say the Flyers dropped out of the running at the 11th hour because they didn’t have the cash and left the Canucks as the only suitor.
