Kevin Allen: Your primer for next Monday's NHL trade deadline Teams reluctant to part with first round pick; Red Wings many players available

Plus, injured Filip Forsberg, Steve Duchene and Ryan Ellis are returning to the lineup after the trade deadline.

I assume you mean Matt Duchene? I remember when Steve Duchesne helped Detroit win the Cup in 2002. He played with Mathieu Dandenault on the third defense pair.

Predators and surging In the same sentence Is fun! Nashville Is no threat as long as Hynes Is coach.

Steve Bozak? These guys are Insiders and they can't get names right, They also didn't say anything that I don't already know. We have known for months that the Blues and Dunn are going to part ways soon. The Wild are In NO hurry to add a forward and If they do It will be a capable center.

Their isn’t anyone that can justify Hall’s $8m anymore. He’s going to have a rude awaking in this market. He should have stayed in AZ some how.

I’m still waiting to see what Pittsburgh’s new management comes up with at TDL. I’m also thinking Lou has one more by Monday.

Buffalo will just keep him and finish the season out. No biggie, but for a 3rd Nah we'll pass.
