NHL stories making news on March 11th. The Montreal Canadians came close to landing a major trade right before the NHL deadline. General manager Ken Hughes said they spent a lot of time on one big deal that fell through at the last second. He hinted they might pick up those talks again this summer. They were eyeing a right-shot defenseman with years left on his deal, but the other side pulled back. The Canadians also looked into moving forward, Patrick Lane and his big cap hit, plus goalie Samuel Montenbo showed up in some discussions. Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, 38-year-old defenseman Chris Lattang is facing sharp criticism for his play this season. Insiders say Penguin's GM Kyle Dubas would ship him out fast if anyone would take that tough contract, but no one's biting. Over in Toronto, the Maple Leafs are in a rough spot with their playoff streak at risk. Starwinger, William Nylander, sounded pretty down when talking to reporters, admitting it's hard to stay positive amid the struggles. The New Jersey Devils cleared up rumors about

defenseman Dougie Hamilton, saying they never actively tried to trade him before the deadline passed. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor. See the description. Press play. Put your head down. The sound is already there. S-O-L-L-I-SoliPillow.com.
