Trade Deadline Wednesday Morning Update

On the road this morning so this will be fast.

Lots of talk about whether Shero may make a move before the deadline
today.

Word is he had to go to team management for approval to go after
someone big.

A big names being tossed around right now is Alexander Frolov. The
Penguins and Kings have supposedly exchanged offers -- including one
that would send Jordan Staal to LA.

Martin St. Louis' keeps coming up, too.

Penguins still searching for grit. They were looking at Chris Neil
from Ottawa but the Senators supposedly upped the asking price, which
might push the Pens' more towards Laperierre in Colorado. Both of
those guys are getting a lot of interest throughout the league.

A lot of rumor going around about the Penguins inquiring about a lot of
their former players, including Ryan Malone, Jarkko Ruutu and even Gary
Roberts. Don't buy it. Ain't going to happen.

Watch Alex Ponikarovsky in Toronto. He is flying under the radar right
now, but could end up in Pittsburgh.

More this afternoon once my plane lands.
