They are not going to trade players for magic beans and join the oilers in the race to the bottom.
They will try and improve the team today if they can, though they wont spend much if anything on older players. A younger player is absolutely possible.
I dont think anyone on the team is 'safe', though some players control their own destinies, and they are unlikley to make moves for the sake of it.
Iginla will go if he wants to go.
Same as last years deadline. Same as last summer.

Statements like this make me wanna pull my hair out. Tell you what, stop everything you're doing, go to NHL.com and take a look at the standings. Then come back here and argue your position that we aren't joining the Oilers in a race for the bottom.
We should thank our lucky stars that the Oilers have worse management than ours because if they had people that were somewhat competent in their jobs and did a better job of drafting and trading we'd be in a solo race to the bottom.
