[Machiavelli]

Iginla:

“As far as the speculation, I said at the beginning of the year, I don't want anything to be a distraction. I'm not going to talk about any of that speculation. As a team, we're at a very critical point, in terms of bouncing back and trying to build some momentum again.

“Also, we realize a lot of people have thrown in the towel. As a team, we need to find ways. If we're going to give ourselves a playoff shot and playoff chances, we have to take advantage of these next two home games.”

Hartley:

“I still believe that this team can win four, five, six games in a row and get back in the playoff picture. I know that there's going to be lots of speculation around our team and our players, but I addressed this with the players this morning — that's part of our business.

“There's one thing on our mind, to win hockey games.”

“I know it’s out there,” Bouwmeester said of trade speculation. “But it doesn’t really matter. It’s one of those things where you can hear things from various sources, but I would expect that someone would talk to me before anything got done.

“And that hasn’t happened.”
