The NHLs Mar. 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell while figuring out which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Ready to Start The Ottawa Senators fourth loss in five games against the Hurricanes on Saturday dropped them to 12th in the Eastern Conference but the team remains just three points back of the final wild card spot, held by their division rivals from Detroit. Ottawas brain trust has concluded meetings to discuss strategy for the trade deadline and the teams new assistant general manager Pierre Dorion told The Ottawa Citizen that he feels the Sens group is ready whenever business picks up. “We identified possible targets for possible trades,” he told the Citizens Ken Warren. “You always have to be ready for that possibility, for players that could help us in the short or long term.” Warren believes the Sens have prioritized a winger for Jason Spezza as being the teams greatest need and that they could be in the market for a rental such as Matt Moulson or Ales Hemsky. Shane-O Max? Calgary Flames defenceman Shane OBrien cleared waivers on Sunday and the veteran was assigned to Abbotsford of the American Hockey League. Going unclaimed does not bode well for his future in Calgary, but acting Flames general manager Brian Burke hopes to do right by OBrien before the deadline. “We thought someone might grab him because hes a good player,” Burke told the Calgary Herald. “Obviously the extra year of his contract is the killer, so now well see if we can structure a trade and well see if theres a team that would take him if we arent part of the obligations...that will be the first order of the day." Jets Packed Currently seven points out, the Winnipeg Jets playoff odds might point to them selling off pieces before the deadline. Rentals such as Olli Jokinen and Devin Setoguchi are believed to be available, but the Jets face a tough decision with defensive stalwart Mark Stuart. He is eligible for free agency come summer and The Winnipeg Free Press has speculated that he could be available in hopes of garnering assets from a contender before re-signing him during the off-season. The paper adds that its a risky proposition, but if the Jets cant reach a deal with Stuart before Mar. 5 yet are still confident in luring him back come July it could prove a shrewd move by GM Kevin Chevaldayoff. Made Marian Its long been believed that the Columbus Blue Jackets could be moving veteran forward Marian Gaborik prior to the deadline. However, his recent injury history may actually bode well for his future in the Ohio Capital. The Columbus Dispatch noted that Gaboriks experience - plus his recent injury struggles - could place him in a unique position for his next contract. Should Gaborik remain on injured reserve through the Olympic break, Aaron Portzline notes he will exceed 100 days. NHL veterans who have played 400 or more career games and spend 100 days or more on injured reserve are eligible to sign contracts with bonus structures. Cyber Monday Nike Shoes .

Jose Bautista and Brett Lawrie were lost to injury in Sundays 4-3 loss to the Reds on a sweltering day at Great American Ballpark. Lawrie will be placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a fractured right index finger, suffered in the second inning when he was hit by a Johnny Cueto fastball. It was the third time on the road trip Lawrie had been hit by a pitch on the hands. He was emotional, welling up at the thought of missing significant time as the ballclub trudges through a difficult month, clearly frustrated at his bad luck in Baltimore, New York and Cincinnati. "I dont even know what to say to be honest," he said, before being prompted for more. "It hurt a little bit more than usual so it kind of made me feel like something might be going on," said Lawrie. "It just started to settle in when I was on first base and I had to go get it checked out. Its one of those things." An inning later, Jose Bautista came up with runners on first and second and nobody out. He stunned the Reds, the entire stadium for that matter, when he dropped down a sacrifice bunt. Bautista was safe on a bang-bang play at first, facilitated by a Johnny Cueto fielding error. Standing on the bag, he seemed bothered by leg pain. Two hitters later, Colby Rasmus singled through the right side to cash two runs. Bautista advanced to second and waved for trainer George Poulis. His day was done, tightness in the back of his left leg to blame. "I had a little tightness in the area for the past couple of days but playing through it and today just goot bad enough that I didnt want to risk serious injury," said Bautista.dddddddddddd "Just a precaution to come out; take a precautionary MRI just to make sure theres nothing going on there. Thats it, hopefully its not too bad and hopefully I can get back into the lineup whenever." Bautista said he "didnt feel too bad" after the game but wouldnt venture a guess on a timeline for his absence, preferring to wait for the results of the MRI. "Sometimes there are areas of your body you feel okay, if theres something going on, its better to rest it for a couple of days instead of rushing back and making it worse," he said. "Well see what the MRIs say." With Lawrie and reliever Brett Cecil on the disabled list and Bautista a possibility to join them, the Jays, losers of 11 of their last 15 after marauding to a 38-24 record to begin the year, will have to get creative with the roster. This could mean more playing time for Juan Francisco at third base. A Munenori Kawasaki and Steve Tolleson platoon at second base is less than desirable but may be required under the circumstances. At the moment, the Jays dont have a true fourth outfielder and would be well served to offset the disabling of Lawrie by recalling either Anthony Gose or Kevin Pillar. These are trying times for a club that only three weeks ago was the toast of baseball. "The bottom line is on this road trip we didnt pitch good enough other than a couple of days, we didnt hit enough and our defence was shoddy," said manager John Gibbons. "So, you know what? You get what you deserve and thats what we got on this road trip." ' ' '
