The NHL Trade Deadline is on Monday and teams are making decisions on whether to buy or sell and decide which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Check out today's trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TradeCentre on TSN and TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates.

Oilers and Habs? 

Jim Matheson of The Edmonton Journal wrote on Thursday that Canadiens goaltending prospect Zach Fucale could be available (this summer) in a trade because he would be no more than a backup to Carey Price in Montreal. Matheson notes that the Oilers would be interested as they wanted to take him with the 37th pick in the 2013 draft, but the Canadiens took him one spot earlier.

Matheson adds that the Habs really want blueliner Jeff Petry on their second pairing and wonders if the Canadiens include Jared Tinordi in a deal for him. He also asks if a deal for Petry could fetch Ryan Sproul from Detroit, Pittsburgh's Scott Harrington, Washington's Madison Bowey or Josh Manson from Anaheim or Chicago's Klas Dahlbeck or Stephen Jones.

Matheson also wrote earlier this week that the Canadiens reportedly offered their 2013 first-round pick Michael McCarron to the Coyotes for defenceman Zbynek Michalek.

Bozak - In Edmonton? 

David Staples of The Edmonton Journal doubt the rumours that the Oilers are interested in acquiring centre Tyler Bozak, as he carries a $4.2 million cap hit for three more seasons - that is, unless the Oilers send back a similar contract the other way.

Chicago's Ready To Deal 

Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman feels like he's "pretty close" to making a trade and is as open to landing a defenceman or forward. 

"We're open to either one," Bowman told Tracey Myers of CSNChicago.com. "I know it's a generic answer, but there's more than one way to improve your team. It doesn't have to be just a replacement for Patrick. Sometimes you're going to improve your team in different ways, bringing in different kinds of players. We're open to that. We'll see where it goes."

Mile High Moves? 

As Mike Chambers of The Denver Post wrote Thursday, trading defenceman Jan Hejda and forward Daniel Briere - both soon-to-be unrestricted free agents - would certainly add assets for depth, free up cap room and create roster space to current prospects to audition down the final stretch.

Limited Broadway Tickets 

Pat Leonard of The New York Daily News writes that the New York Rangers - already up against the cap - will have to look elsewhere for help on the blueline after the Andrej Sekera was dealt to the Kings. While Edmonton's Jeff Petry and Arizona's Zbynek Michalek could be targets, Leonard adds that GM Glen Sather is weary of dealing high draft picks as he did for Rick Nash and Martin St. Louis.
