NHL Trade Deadline 2011: Live Updates, Latest News

It's NHL Trade Deadline Day! Live Updates

If the NBA trade deadline a few days ago is any indication, we're in for a wild finish to the NHL trade deadline today.

It's one of hockey fans' favorite days -- that is, as long as your team is involved (and a buyer rather than a seller). What's better than seeing a fresh face suit up for your squad with the NHL playoffs around the corner?

But as Globe & Mail's James Mirtle notes, this year there are so many more buyers compared to sellers with a logjam in the standings and so many teams still in the playoff hunt. That makes it more difficult to make deals.

Even so, a flurry of deals is expected as the 3 p.m. Eastern Time deadline approaches, and some will likely even be announced after that time passes.
