As per ESPN -
The New York Islanders are probably going to trade P.A. Parenteau and Frans Nielsen -- or at least entertain offers -- but the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch hears that GM Garth Snow has at least talked about extensions with both players. Both guys should attract significant interest and garner second-round picks or mid-level prospects
The Chicago Blackhawks duo of Corey Crawford and Ray Emery has caused some anxiety in Chicago as the Hawks head toward the playoffs. But GM Stan Bowman has said he's "happy" with them, which indicates he won't make any deadline moves. However, it is possible the Hawks are exploring options. As the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch reports, Hawks scouts were at Friday's Isles game against the Senators, in which Evgeni Nabokov let in just one goal. We know the Isles are shopping the veteran goalie, and the strong performance certainly helped.

However, it's also possible the Hawks were there to see Frans Nielsen, as they have been looking for some help down the middle.

No thanks. A potential 70-point player and a solid, defensively responsible third-line center who is money in shoot-outs only bringing back mid-level prospects or a second rounder? I'm not interested. I'd rather re-sign both. Unless they're absolutely not going to re-sign one of them, I wouldn't move them for that weak of a haul.
