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. Miller Time TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun writes on ESPN.com that Buffalo Sabres general manager Tim Murray is already hearing calls for his pending unrestricted free agents. "Were just starting to explore the market the last day or two," Murray said. "Ive had some calls, and most of the calls are just generalities: If I can meet your demand, would you be willing to move him? So you have teams calling, for sure, and theyre asking about different players. Every team has a different need; the same names come up, obviously, as far as the forwards go. My mandate here is to get better. I dont want a five-year rebuild, thats not what Im about. Its about getting better, and if that means trading guys and getting assets for them, then thats the way it will be." Murray is also considering all of his options with pending UFA Ryan Miller, including the possibility of re-signing him. LeBrun adds that if Miller isnt interested in staying, Murray will move him at the trade deadline. Sticking With The Tandem Michael Traikos of The National Post writes that Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis admitted that he has been received several calls regarding goaltenders Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer, but has no intentions to break them up right now. "I havent thought that too far, but could I see a scenario where both goalies were back next season? Yes," he told the paper. "Weve gone this far because of our goaltending. Jon is on a bit of a roll, but James has been really good for us. "I would never write James Reimer off." Oilers Options Jonathan Willis writes in the Edmonton Journal that while a skilled veteran forward like Ales Hemsky could be appealing to another NHL team, the Oilers have needs (size up front and blue line help) that the return on trading Hemsky trade wont address. Willis suggests a player like Jordan Eberle or Nail Yakupov – younger players with attractive contracts right now - would be more helpful. Time To Talk? Newsdays Arthur Staple writes that contract talks could begin soon between the Thomas Vaneks agent and the New York Islanders. If Vanek isnt willing to re-sign a long-term deal, Staple thinks theyll dangle him at the trade deadline. Staple adds that theres been talks between the Islanders and soon-to-be UFA blueliner Andrew MacDonald. Staple says hes seeking a contract at about $5 million per season.

Wittmans approach helped turn the Wizards from pushover to playoff winners.TAMPA, Fla. - Andy Dalton didnt offer any excuses. The Cincinnati quarterback felt lousy, and at times his teammates didnt play well, either.What mattered most, though, is the first-place Bengals won again.Anytime you get a win its big, Dalton said after a 14-13 victory Sunday over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Obviously you want to play better, you want to do a lot of things better. A win is a win regardless of how you get it. The goal is to win by one, so well take the win any way we can get it.Dalton shrugged off flu-like symptoms to score on a 5-yard run and throw 13 yards to A.J. Green for another touchdown. Along the way, Cincinnati (8-3-1) overcame three interceptions, 10 penalties and an ill-advised onside kick that helped Tampa Bay stay in the game to win on the road for the third consecutive week.Thats a franchise first that seemed improbable following a lopsided home loss to Cleveland a month ago.Im pleased that we basically overcame ourselves and won the football game, coach Marvin Lewis said.But as poorly as the Bengals played, Tampa Bay (2-10) committed the biggest blunder of the day — a penalty in the closing seconds for having too many men on the field.The infraction — the last of 13 penalties against the Bucs — overturned a 21-yard pass completion that would have moved them into position for a possible game-winning field goal.Thats how 2-10 football teams play. They find a way to lose it in the end, Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith said. When you make dumb, stupid penalties like that throughout the game, it will bite you at the end, which it did.The Bengals extended their lead in AFC North to 1 1/2 games over each of their division rivals. Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland all lost on Sunday.It looked as if Cincinnati might fall, as well, when Josh McCowns throw to Louis Murphy appeared to give the Bucs a first down at the Bengals 20 with 12 seconds remaining.As Tampa Bay scrambled to line up and spike the ball, an animated Lewis came off the sideline and threw the red flag to challenge the previous play.Officials initially announced the Bengals couldnt challenge, because coaches arent allowed to request any in the final two minutes. The replay official, however, had alreaddy decided to look at the play, and found the Bucs indeed lined up with 12 players.ddddddddddddhe guys upstairs were saying it right from the start, before they snapped the ball. ... We were trying to match up the personnel, and there was one too many, Lewis said.McCown said the Bucs had an extra tackle on the field. The quarterback didnt notice, and neither did Smith.We were in a bit of a muddle-huddle there, and guys were on and off. ... Weve just got to handle it better, McCown said.Blame the head coach. Bad move on my part, (I) didnt see it, Smith said. We had 12 guys on the field. Cant happen.Some reasons why the Bengals extended their lead in the AFC North and the Bucs fell to 0-6 at home:TIMELY Defence: The Bengals limited the Bucs to 263 yards of total offence and were at their best after poor plays put the defence is bad positions. Tampa Bay settled for a field goal after Johnthan Banks intercepted Daltons first pass of the day and returned it 32 yards to the Cincinnati 9. And, the Bucs only managed a field goal after the onside kick was returned to the Bengals 31 and an unnecessary roughness penalty on the next play moved the ball to the 16.ROAD KINGS: Cincinnatis November road swing through New Orleans, Houston and Tampa Bay totalled 5,078 miles and has bolstered the teams confidence. Its the ninth time in team history, the Bengals have played three straight on the road. Its the first time theyve won all three.WHERES THE GROUND GAME?: Tampa Bay was held to 75 yards rushing, with Doug Martin gaining 58 on 18 carries. A month ago, the Bengals ranked 31st in run defence. Over the past three games, theyve allowed just 71 yards per game on the ground.MCCOWN FACTOR: McCown was 15 of 29 passing for 190 yards and one interception. While he was only sacked once, the Bengals got enough pressure on him to force numerous bad throws.RESILIENT DALTON: Dalton finished 19 of 27 for 176 yards. He completed four passes to Green for 57 yards and helped the Bengals take valuable time off the clock with a nice 30-yard completion to James Wright on third and 11, extending a drive late in the fourth quarter.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFLCheap Warriors JerseysAuthentic Cavaliers JerseysCheap Spurs StoreCeltics Jerseys OnlineCheap Bulls JerseysCheap Nets JerseysCheap Thunder JerseysCheap 76ers JerseysCheap Knicks JerseysWholesale Raptors JerseysCyber Monday Pistons JerseysWholesale Team USA Basketball JerseysCheap Celtics JerseysCheap Nets JerseysCheap Knicks JerseysCheap 76ers JerseysRaptors Jerseys From ChinaCheap Bulls JerseysCavaliers Jerseys From ChinaWholesale Pistons JerseysBucks Jerseys From ChinaPacers Jerseys OutletAuthentic Hawks JerseysCheap Hornets JerseysCheap Heat JerseysCheap Magic JerseysAuthentic Wizards JerseysCheap Nuggets JerseysTimberwolves Jerseys OutletWholesale Thunder JerseysCheap Blazers JerseysCheap Jazz JerseysDiscount Warriors JerseysWholesale Clippers JerseysWholesale Lakers JerseysCheap Suns JerseysCheap Kings JerseysDiscount Mavericks JerseysAuthentic Rockets JerseysDiscount Grizzlies JerseysCheap Pelicans JerseysSpurs Jerseys From China ' ' '
