Hey guys you should make a trade deadline gamethread, or "daythread". So we have some place to talk up the rumors and movement.

Does the name 'Bill Gallacher' ring any bells? LeBrun says he is the NHL's desired pick.

Any interest for a former 56 goal scorer?

If we picked him up, what would we owe him? Prorated $3M? Plus $3M next year? Is that right? Still trying to learn the NHL salary structure.

This is from George Richards, the Panthers beat reporter for the Miami Herald. We're facebook friends. Just thought this was interesting.

According to ESPNDallas.com, Modano, 39, said he's interested in becoming an owner because he'd like to keep hockey interest in Dallas at a high level. He's played his entire career in the Stars organization since he was drafted first overall in the 1988 draft. He then moved with the organization from Minnesota to Dallas in 1993 and has been the face of the franchise. Modano is the highest-scoring American player in NHL history, has played in seven All-Star games and hoisted the Stanley Cup in 1999.
