Cbarnezz's 5 BIGGEST "most likely" TRADES

1. Ollie Jokinen – despite Keenan putting up brave “we’re still in it” talk, Joky will go
Cbarnezz Predicts:
The trade winds change & Ottawa is where Ollie lands (for now). A big reason Ottawa is is the front runner not just for the return players, but because Sens cannot resign Ollie cuz $$$ will go to Chara & Redden, so Keenan will get a shot at signing him again in the summer.
Price: Fisher/Bochenski/1st pick
* note: The teams may change cuz things are changing faster than you change yer underwear, as now I’m hearing Colorado has jumped into the mix.

2. McCabe – Also as reported here McCabe will not re-sign & will be traded
Cbarnezz Predicts: Canes will finally bite the bullet & get McCabe
Price: Andrew Ladd/Nate Hagemo/2007 2nd pick (or Ladd & a 1st pick)
* note: As said above, things change. With Cole going down last night I am hearing Canes may ask to expand the deal to include McCabe & Tucker, but it will cost them!

3. Teemu Selanne – As reported days ago here, Montreal wants Selanne
Cbarnezz Predicts: Selanne will go to Mtl only because he 1st agreed to new 2yr contract
Price: Kommisarek/Bonk despite Burke asking for Higgins

4. Kieth Tkachuck – has interest from Philly, Rangers, Flames
Cbarnezz Predicts:
He will waive his no trade clause & join Jagr in the Big Apple
Price: 2 prospects & a 1st pick or 3 prospects & a 2nd pick

Todd Bertuzzi - Philly, Anaheim, Mtl. all interested
Cbarnezz Predicts: Clarke will get antsy with injuries & Philly will overpay to get Bert.
Price: Nonis asked for Richards/Desjardins/Esche
