Trading baggage: Blue Jackets grab Clarkson, send Horton’s contract to Leafs | ProHockeyTalk
Wow. I never expected this trade to occur. The Leafs dumped David Clarkson’s contract while the Blue Jackets moved Horton to a team that can afford to pay him to not play. Assuming that Horton does not play again, I think this was a pretty fair trade for both teams.
Devils trade Jagr to Panthers | TSN
Jagr, the perennial star who never seems to fade away, is now a Panther. I wanted the Wings to make a move for him, especially if one of our forwards was moved for a defenseman at the deadline. It was a good acquisition by the Panthers, and shows that they really want to catch the Bruins and make the playoffs.

Top 10 big names likely to be traded before the deadline | The Hockey News
The article mentions that Detroit could be a good fit for Curtis Glencross. I never considered him as an option, partially because I am not expecting the Flames to move any players. But, Glencross is a pending UFA, and is a decent depth forward. The latter being something that the Wings do not have a need for.
Let’s Go Red Wings!
