Report: Isles don’t want to trade high picks or prospects for rentals

P.A. Parenteau may want to hold off pulling out his old New York Islanders jersey.

The pending Toronto Maple Leafs unrestricted free agent is thought to be on the Islanders' radar, but the club is "not interested in trading high picks or prospects for rentals," according to TSN's Darren Dreger. Parenteau to New York is a "long shot" as this point, Dreger added.

Toronto reportedly wants a second-round draft pick in exchange for Parenteau, who has 16 goals and 16 assists in 60 games. He's played well of late, with five goals and four assists in 12 games in February.

Report: Coyotes getting asked about Hanzal

Mikkel Boedker isn't the only Arizona Coyotes player garnering interest from NHL clubs at the trade deadline.

While Boedker appears to be at the center of trade speculation in Arizona, the Coyotes are apparently getting asked about forward Martin Hanzal, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Hanzal has one year remaining on his contract after this season that will pay him $3.1 million. The 29-year-old is currently on pace to eclipse his previous career high of 40 points this season.

Report: Hurricanes ‘likely’ to trade Liles

After dealing forwards Eric Staal and Kris Versteeg on Sunday, it appears defenseman John-Michael Liles could be the next body shipped by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Given a weak rental market, and the fact Liles will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, he's "likely to move" Monday, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

Liles holds a cap hit of $3,875,000, but if a deal is made for the 35-year-old, the club will be unable to retain any of his salary. The Hurricanes are at the three-contract limit regarding the number of traded players they can retain money on this season.

They are currently paying off portions of contracts for Staal, Jay Harrison, and Tuomo Ruutu.

Liles has amassed six goals and 15 points in 64 games this season.

Ovechkin, Capitals take to Twitter to wish Laich good luck in Toronto

Brooks Laich and Alex Ovechkin had been teammates for nearly ten years with the Washington Capitals, and now as the team looks like a favorite to win the Stanley Cup, the two are being split.

Laich was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs late Sunday in a deal that sent Daniel Winnik to the Capitals. Shortly after word broke about the deal, Washington's captain took to Twitter to wish his longtime friend the best.

After playing one game for the Ottawa Senators during the 2003-04 season, Laich played his next 742 alongside Ovechkin in Washington, and was long a fan favorite at Verizon Center.

With his $4.5 million cap hit limiting the Capitals' options both this season and next, the 32-year-old now moves from the first-place team in the NHL to the last-place Leafs - but some believe he may be as big a part of a Washington championship run regardless of where he's playing.
