"I think what you've seen in the past week, there will be more of it. I think there will be three or four players traded that are, 'Wow,' trades. Only one team ... is left standing at the end, so of those three or four deals, a couple won't have the impact you thought they would. But if you don't do it, what will happen? The NHL Guide and Record Book will tell you there's anywhere between 15 and 25 trades each year [before] the deadline. I would anticipate 10 to 20 trades in the NHL between now and Monday and three or four will be of the bigger variety. That's what history tells us.
