The NHL has reportedly changed their March trade deadline from the 3rd to the 4th. The trade deadline must be 40 days from the end of the regular season. But that fell on March 3 and twelve games are to be played that night. The league promised GMs light fare for trade deadline day, which is the reason for the switch.

Marian Gaborik appears to be on his way to becoming a former member of the Wild. Gaborik, who can become an unrestricted free agent following the current season, was offered by the Wild to an unnamed team in a trade last weekend, according to a report by the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Tuesday. The report stated its source, an NHL team executive, told Minnesota he was not interested in acquiring Gaborik.
