They are still playing chicken. The thing with Treliving is that he probably won't be too terribly upset if we don't get him, where as if Ottawa doesn't trade him, that will be a big mistake in terms of the rebuild (unless they re-sign him).
Maybe Vegas and Nashville are still in on him as well, but it seems likely that San Jose and Winnipeg are out now. Ottawa is losing leverage the longer this drags on.
I also wonder if St. Louis might jump into the mix. They are hot right now and peaking at just the right time. Could be a real playoff dark horse.
