With less than a week until the NHL Trade Deadline, check out the latest trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. Waiting Last Minute As per Arthur Staple of Newsday, barring a cant refuse offer from anyone in the next few days, New York Islanders general manager Garth Snow will go as close to the 3pm et deadline on Wednesday as possible to entice better offers for both Thomas Vanek and Andrew MacDonald. He adds that as games go on through the weekend, the number of suitors for MacDonald could go up. Staple also writes that the Islanders have no intention of trading goaltender Evgeni Nabokov. High Asking Price Chris Botta of The New York Times adds that the Islanders are asking for a first-round pick for MacDonald. He adds that theres a lot of interest in MacDonald, but CSNNE.com adds that such a demand is too much for the Boston Bruins, who are reportedly looking for a blueliner. Interest In Stewart? According to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun, the Senators have an interest in St. Louis Blues winger Chris Stewart. Garrioch adds that Stewart could be part of a deal with the New York Rangers if the Blues are interested in Ryan Callahan. Staying The Course Larry Brooks of The New York Post writes that Rangers general manager Glen Sather and his front office are devoting their attention to evaluating personnel who might become available in trades for Ryan Callahan and Dan Girardi, with no progress made toward signing them to contract extensions. No Ones Business As Rich Chere of The Star-Ledger writes, no one should expect New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur to announce publicly that he wants to be traded. Brodeur explained to Chere that he wont even wont say so unless a deal actually happens - and he hasnt even discussed the situation with general manager Lou Lamoriello. "Oh, no. Its not going to be like that. I dont think so, anyway," Brodeur told the paper. "Its nobody elses business but mine as for the direction I want to go. "Its been tough because you go through ups and downs. The more questions Im asked, sometimes my answers change. Thats why in the last few weeks Ive been more quiet about it. Its on purpose, because I want to make sure my decision is an educated decision and there are no influences from the outside. Show up Thursday and youll know if Im on the plane to Detroit (where the Devils play Friday)." Chere also writes that Jaromir Jagr, who doesnt have a no-trade clause, hasnt spoken to Lamoriello about a trade option. "The one thing that is good about this team is we dont have much media coverage," Jagr told Chere. "Less media, less rumors and less trade rumors. I havent even heard any rumors. "Hey, Ive been traded twice during the season. From Dallas to Boston and to New York from Washington. Going to the Rangers from Washington, they told me they were trying to trade me so I was kind of expecting it. The last one, Dallas to Boston, I was surprised. For me its easier than somebody with a big family. I pack my stuff and go, if something happens. Or not go." No Change Of Heart Katie Carrera of The Washington Post reports that, to little surprise, Capitals forward Martin Erat is still looking to get out. Erat, back from representing the Czech Republic in the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, said Wednesday he still wants the Capitals to trade him but declined to elaborate further. Capitals GM George McPhee said earlier this week that he planned to approach Erat again but didnt expect him to change of mind. Cheap Red Schoendienst Jersey .

Now hes put the offence in Lindleys hands in the biggest game of the Cardinals season.The third-year quarterback, who made four unimpressive starts as a rookie, will be thrown into the teeth of the fierce Seattle defence Sunday night.Its a tough spot for someone who never took a snap as Arizonas No. 3 quarterback last year, then was released in favour of rookie Logan Thomas at the end of this preseason.When Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury, the Cardinals signed Lindley off the San Diego practice squad. And when Palmers replacement, Drew Stanton, sprained his right knee Thursday night in St. Louis, Arians turned to Lindley rather than Thomas to finish the game.He was calm as a cucumber out there, Arians said before Wednesdays practice.The stakes on Sunday night are high.Arizona (11-3) is the only NFC team to have clinched a spot in the playoffs. A victory over the Seahawks (10-4) would ensure the NFCs No. 1 seed, guaranteeing that the Cardinals would play at home throughout the playoffs, including the Super Bowl, since its being played in Arizona.A Seattle victory would give the reigning Super Bowl champs a tie for first in the NFC West, and they would have the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over the Cardinals. Arizona probably would be relegated to a wild card berth and a road game in the first round.Largely because the Cardinals are down to a third-string, maybe fourth-string, quarterback, oddsmakers have made Seattle an eight-point favourite on the road.I think its all about money in Vegas, Lindley said. Theyre just dealing with facts. They arent worrying about the people and the intangibles.Arizona drafted Lindley in the sixth round out of San Diego State in 2012. With the Cardinals season circling the drain, then-coach Ken Whisenhunt made the rookie the starter with the team in the midst of losing 11 of its last 12 games.The results werent good. Lindley completed 52 per cent of his passes for 752 yards and zero touchdowns. He was intercepted seven times. His 181 passes attempted — including 10 last week — are the most in NFL histoory without a touchdown.ddddddddddddBut this is a far better team than the one two years ago, and Lindley insists hes a different quarterback.Its night and day, he said. The amount Ive learned and not only grown as a person in two years, but from these guys — B.A. (Arians), from Carson, from Drew. Im a totally different person and totally different player from that point.He said the biggest difference between now and then is knowing whats coming.Obviously the first time out there before, its new, and you dont know exactly whats going to happen, Lindley said. But now, through experience, through seeing how these guys Drew and Carson prepare, how Philip (Rivers) prepares out in San Diego, I just feel a lot more ready at this point.Lindley said its 50-50 as to whether his playing time in 2012 did more harm than good.The biggest thing is if you dont let it affect your confidence too much, he said, anythings a learning experience.He said he got through it with the support of his family and his faith.Its just trusting in whatever the plan will be, Lindley said. Just waiting for this opportunity. I feel extremely blessed and excited that its here.Arians dismisses the term game manager. He said the Cardinals wont scale back their style just because of the quarterback. He has, however, tailored a game plan to Lindleys skills.There are some things in the offence he likes to throw, Arians said. Each guys got two or three things that they like a little bit more than the others.Asked where Lindley concerns him, Arians responded, He really doesnt.Hes a meticulous preparation guy, the coach said. The dynamics between us — Ive bounced things off him. I trust him as far as his mental makeup to the game.To keep the Seahawks guessing, Arians has developed a package for Thomas and says he might use both quarterbacks.But its Lindley at centre stage, with the support of a coach whose former pupils include Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Ben Roethlisberger.Its tough to find at this level, a guy that you want to pour it onto the field for, Lindley said, and B.A. gets his guys to play their best for him.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.orgm and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
