“My guess is there will be a lot of compression between the Olympics and March 5 (trade-deadline day). It’s going to bunch up, and it will be a frantic time for all the teams. If you’re shedding and moving UFAs, you’re probably better off waiting, because it always compresses in that last week. My prediction, if we are moving UFAs, is that that time will be very stressful.”

-Brian Burke, president of hockey operations for the Calgary Flames. More on Burke's trade plans from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun.
