With the trade deadline now just 48 hours away, NHL GMs are scrambling to work out deals. But it's not easy. As everyone knows, the CBA has made it much more difficult than ever to close a deal. Mix in the continuing economic uncertainty and a league in which virtually every team is still in the playoff hunt, and it's never been harder to pull the trigger on a trade.
So what's an NHL GM to do? Simple. Get creative.
It turns out that NHL GMs are using every tool at their disposal to try to create a market for the players they want to move. And after spending some time today searching some popular web sites, I can report that a few NHL GMs are getting active online.
For example, new management in Montreal wants to move a goaltender, and they're working hard to start a bidding war -- literally.
Meanwhile, this Craigslist ad was posted anonymously. But something about it seems vaguely familiar.
And finally, Glen Sather wants to dump some bad contracts and has his work cut out for him. I don't think he'll have much luck, but you can't say he's not trying.

Priceless.
e5! Gold!
Another great post. Keep 'em coming!
Love the "Users also viewed these items" part.
Keep up the good work.
Gold, as always
The Redden one was fantastic.
Great work DGB!
Awesome stuff DGB
Posting ID on the Kaberle picture with "1967"... hahahaha.
God, that Redden ad has basically been my hockey brain since they signed him.
The "e5" was hilarious
"In fact, we have plenty of fans who are willing to personally drive him to the airport." HA!
Thanks for the laughter. That Redden one was priceless (especially the "Customers Also Viewed" part on the bottom).
I have to admit, though, that Redden the Zombie doesn't bother me nearly as much as Rozsival, who seems to actively seek opportunities to lose NYR games.
There was a similar thing made in French a while ago about Halak: Bob Gainey met Halak sur lespac.com http://www.mauvaisoeil.com/2009/12/bob-gainey-met-halak-sur-lespac-com.html
This was absolutely amazing, well done.
Dude, the Redden "sale" is a huge hit on Rangerland.net's trade deadline thread!
