It was trade deadline eve, eve this Saturday and all of hockey fans thoughts turned to rumors and speculation. Monday will likely turn out to be slightly less interesting for Oilers faithful now that Hemsky has signed, but that doesn’t mean they and some of the other Nations teams won’t be making a move or two. This week, Allan investigates what the Jets, Flames, Leafs and Canucks are thinking heading into the frenzy.

This is Nation Radio

First up is the Edmonton Sun’s Terry Jones. Allan and Terry talk the Hemsky signing in depth.

Nation overlord Kent Wilson makes his weekly visit. Topics include the Flames injuries and playoff hopes, some possible Calgary trades as well as his assessment of the Hemsky deal.

Richard Pollock of the always excellent Illegal Curve site and radio show drops by to talk everything Jets.

Leafs Beat Writer for the Globe and Mail and blogger pioneer James Mirtle discusses the deadline from a Toronto perspective and also weighs in on the Hemsky signing.

Cam Charron of Canucks Army talks Vancouver and Ottawa rumors, line types and Manny Malhotra.

Finally, Oil Kings play-by-play voice Corey Graham stops by. Topics are the rise of Griffin Reinhart up the draft charts, the return of Oilers pick Travis Ewanyk and the development of Kristians Pelss.

From start to finish.
