The last 48 hours have provided a bit more player movement across the NHL as the deadline approaches. The usual names like [Hal Gill](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55393/hal-gill?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Dominic Moore](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54291/dominic-moore?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) are heading off to new and exciting towns while the league's fans fawn over the idea of acquiring [Rick Nash](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54947/rick-nash?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) or...um...RICK NASH!!1 As always, Down Goes Brown has his spies in front offices across the league and [wants you to know who's buying and who's selling](http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2012/02/buyers-and-sellers-at-2012-trade.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com):

> Some are planning to stock up for a run at a championship. Others have thrown in the towel on the season and will be looking to rebuild for the future. And of course, there’s a third group: the ones who haven’t decided which of the first two groups they fit into yet. Those teams have nine days left to figure it out.
> 
> **Buyer: [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \-** As always Brian Burke will be looking to add size up front; ideally, a player so large that he can also play defense and goalie since that’s where the team’s actual weakness is.
> 
> **Seller: [Columbus Blue Jackets](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/columbus-blue-jackets?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \-** Recently asked Rick Nash to provide a list of teams who would accept a trade to, before coming back hours later to clarify that they were really only looking for NHL teams from the current era so he could stop writing now.
