The NHL Trade Deadline is historically one of the biggest days on the league's calendar.
This year should be no different, as several big names could be on the move Monday. Forwards Brad Richards and Ales Hemsky, defencemen John-Michael Liles and Robyn Regehr, and goalies Tomas Vokoun and Jean-Sebastien Giguere are just a few of the marquee players that could find themselves on different teams come March 1.
Most of the six Canadian teams are expected to be active on deadline day.
Both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators have already made several moves leading up to the deadline. The Leafs have moved veteran defencemen Tomas Kaberle and Francois Beauchemin, along with forward Kris Versteeg, while the Senators jettisoned forwards Mike Fisher, Chris Kelly, Jarkko Ruutu, and Alex Kovalev.
Leafs GM Brian Burke has stated more than once that he isn't done making moves, but with their recent strong play pulling them into the playoff race in the Eastern Conference, the question becomes whether Burke becomes a buyer or seller at the deadline.
While there is little doubt that the cellar-dwelling Senators are already sellers, the club did lock up career-Senator Chris Phillips to a contract extension on Sunday, which takes one of their bigger assets off the market.
The Montreal Canadiens have also made a number of moves leading up to the deadline, most notably adding veteran defenders Brent Sopel and Paul Mara, and could look to add another piece to solidify their playoff position.
In the west, the conference-leading Vancouver Canucks could also look to add another piece, and if they do, there is a good chance it will be on the back end. Injuries have taken a large toll on Vancouver's blue line all season and GM Mike Gillis might look to add a d-man or two as insurance.
The Calgary Flames, once considered sure-fire sellers, have climbed back into the playoff race with their strong play and are now likely to be buyers on Monday.
The Edmonton Oilers meanwhile, are bottom dwellers like the Senators, and are much more likely to be sellers. GM Steve Tambellini won't trade away any of his team's young talent, but almost everyone else on their roster is likely to be available for the right price.
Other sellers on trade deadline day could include the Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche, while teams like the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders - once considered locks to be sellers - but have been playing much better as of late. They now must decide whether they are too far out of the playoff picture or not to remain part of the market.
Teams that could be looking to add another piece for the stretch run could include the New York Rangers, who began the process of bolstering their lineup on Saturday with the acquisition of Bryan McCabe, and the Los Angeles Kings, who have the prospects to land a solid veteran piece.
Last year's trade deadline produced a record 31 trades and if the amount of activity leading up to the deadline this year is any indication, Monday could be just as busy.

Suhteellisen hiljainen kauppapäivä verrattuina aikaisempiin, mutta ennen tämänpäiväistä oli jo tullut paljon siirtoja, joten pettynyt ei pidä olla.
