The NHLs Mar. 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell while figuring out which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Ready to Start The Ottawa Senators fourth loss in five games against the Hurricanes on Saturday dropped them to 12th in the Eastern Conference but the team remains just three points back of the final wild card spot, held by their division rivals from Detroit. Ottawas brain trust has concluded meetings to discuss strategy for the trade deadline and the teams new assistant general manager Pierre Dorion told The Ottawa Citizen that he feels the Sens group is ready whenever business picks up. “We identified possible targets for possible trades,” he told the Citizens Ken Warren. “You always have to be ready for that possibility, for players that could help us in the short or long term.” Warren believes the Sens have prioritized a winger for Jason Spezza as being the teams greatest need and that they could be in the market for a rental such as Matt Moulson or Ales Hemsky. Shane-O Max? Calgary Flames defenceman Shane OBrien cleared waivers on Sunday and the veteran was assigned to Abbotsford of the American Hockey League. Going unclaimed does not bode well for his future in Calgary, but acting Flames general manager Brian Burke hopes to do right by OBrien before the deadline. “We thought someone might grab him because hes a good player,” Burke told the Calgary Herald. “Obviously the extra year of his contract is the killer, so now well see if we can structure a trade and well see if theres a team that would take him if we arent part of the obligations...that will be the first order of the day." Jets Packed Currently seven points out, the Winnipeg Jets playoff odds might point to them selling off pieces before the deadline. Rentals such as Olli Jokinen and Devin Setoguchi are believed to be available, but the Jets face a tough decision with defensive stalwart Mark Stuart. He is eligible for free agency come summer and The Winnipeg Free Press has speculated that he could be available in hopes of garnering assets from a contender before re-signing him during the off-season. The paper adds that its a risky proposition, but if the Jets cant reach a deal with Stuart before Mar. 5 yet are still confident in luring him back come July it could prove a shrewd move by GM Kevin Chevaldayoff. Made Marian Its long been believed that the Columbus Blue Jackets could be moving veteran forward Marian Gaborik prior to the deadline. However, his recent injury history may actually bode well for his future in the Ohio Capital. The Columbus Dispatch noted that Gaboriks experience - plus his recent injury struggles - could place him in a unique position for his next contract. Should Gaborik remain on injured reserve through the Olympic break, Aaron Portzline notes he will exceed 100 days. NHL veterans who have played 400 or more career games and spend 100 days or more on injured reserve are eligible to sign contracts with bonus structures. Cyber Monday Tom Savage Jersey . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. Black Friday Whitney Mercilus Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. http://www.texansnflfansclub.com/Black-Friday-Xavi...lo-Jers ey/ . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. Black Friday Alfred Blue Jersey . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Black Friday C.J. Fiedorowicz Jersey . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies.HAMILTON, Ont. -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. Burris, 38, becomes a free agent in the off-season after two seasons with the Ticats. He says he wants to stay in Steeltown and play at the new Tim Hortons Field stadium that is planned to open next season. "I want to be back here," he said. "Weve had a great run. I still feel like I can get it done." He showed he could still get it done this season, leading the league with 4,925 passing yards. He completed 373 of 567 pass attempts for 24 touchdowns and 19 interceptions. The 14-year CFL veteran came to the Ticats almost two years ago in a trade with Calgary that included sending quarterback Kevin Glenn to the Stampeders. At the time, Burris had lost his starting job to Drew Tate after seven straight seasons in Calgary and was looking for a fresh start. Last year, his first at the Ticat helm, the team finished 6-12 and failed to make the playoffs. This time around, they made it all the way to the Grey Cup before losing the championship 45-23 to the hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders. The team was at its downtown headquarters in Hamilton on Tuesday for one final pack-up of any belongings and exit interviews with the coaches. Head coach Kent Austin said Burris has done "a great job" for the Ticats. When asked specifically if he wanted Burris baack, he said: "Yeah, of course.dddddddddddd But some of thats in my control. Some of its out of my control." Austin, who is also Hamiltons vice-president of football operations and general manager, has to think about the upcoming expansion draft being held for the incoming Ottawa Redblacks. He will be able to protect a certain number of import and non-import players, including a quarterback. While he wouldnt divulge any strategies, or who might be protected, one possible scenario would be to hold off on any free-agent signings until after the draft. That way, theoretically, there would be one less player that needed protecting. Austin said he would hate to lose any one of his players, but that the coaching staff will be looking at areas to improve. If any good can come from such a disappointing loss in the league Grey Cup, he hopes its that his players will have a better understanding of how to prepare for such a huge game. "Hopefully, it was an experience that we can learn from and be able to handle situations a little bit better as we mature as a football team which I believe we will," he said. "At least we know now what its going to take to win the whole thing. We talked about that a lot in our meetings with the players. What they needed to do as a team in the off-season and then their individual instructions from their coaches to get over the hump to win a Grey Cup."
