Should be an interesting week and half here, the deadline is Jan. 10th. The Rockets are obviously the front runner and I like that Hamilton is making moves to put them over the top, they are usually an organization that doesn't make the flashy, big trade. In the East its really interesting, all the teams are pretty much the same outside of Brandon and to a lesser degree Medicine Hat. Everyone else goes on 5 game winning streaks or long streaks with earning points but then they all turnaround and go the opposite way with long losing streaks or winless streaks.
As for the Hitmen, they are desperately trying to find a goaltender, they are still hopeful that Demko will come but they know its a long shot at best and because of that, it is my understanding that they are trying to find an upgrade on Shields who is very inconsistent. It would not surprise me to see them move Ben Thomas for an upgrade on the blueline or maybe in a deal for a goalie.
