The NHL trade deadline is Feb. 26, Here are a list of teams and names that might be worth an eye on in the next couple of weeks.

 1) Olie Kolzig. I've been a lifetime Caps fan and Kolzig was the best player they had for years but since Ovey has gotten here that has changed and so has Olie's play. I would love to see him win the cup but it will not be in D.C. His save % is .885 which is dreadful for a teams #1 goalie. The Caps need to trade him and try to get some picks for him since he's going to be a UFA next year. I think he would be a good fit for Ottawa, Pittsburgh

With Accuscore NHL's DLR active I will no longer need to post the SV and ML plays. I will contiune to post how teams are doing. Power Rankings and major injuries.

SV:   14-19  for  -7.03  units.

ML:  23-9   for  +7.16  units.

1/9 Games:                                       LW%                     Sim%

Colo.(SV,ML) @ Wash.             &

Most of you that use Accuscore already know this but for whoever is new to the site here is a brief description of how I'm doing these games. I'm not picking them just letting you know what the difference is between the LW% and the Sim winning%.

The Side Value pick will be the team that has a higher Sim winning% then the LW%. The Money Line pick will be what ever team is winning more than 50% of the sims.

I'm going to list the games and put the pick(SV, ML) next to the team name. Along with the LW% and Sim%.

With that being said here are the results for the games

Totals as of 1/4:   9-10  for  -2.48 units.

 Games:                                LW%                       Sim%                  SV Pick

Minn. @ Dallas(-145)         

Total as of 1/4.          8-9    for   -2.53 units.

 1/6 Games:                           LW%                    Sim%                    SV  Pick

Buff. @ Atl.(+105)   

N.Y.I. @ Colo.(-160)         59.6%              63.1%                 Colo.(-160)

Since I have no idea on where the breakdown is going to be on the NHL games for Accuscore's sims I will just do the total.

Total starting from 1/4: 1-3 for -2.14 units.

1/5 Games:

Game                                         LW%                Sim%        

Using the same SV method as Accuscore does with Baseball and the NBA now. I'm going to post tonight's NHL games using that and my books ML and using the sims off of the Versus website. Of course you books ML might be different so adjust accordingly. The LW% and Sim% are based on the Home teams spread.

Game                                             LW%  

1) Detroit: 63 pts. 19 points ahead of the 2nd place team in it's own division.

2)Ottawa: 54 pts. Need to address Ray Emery and goaltending situation.

3) Dallas: 50 pts. 4th in the league in total scoring.

4) San Jose: 50 pts. After a slow start they have really pick it up.

5) Vancouver: 50 pts. Will go as far as Luongo will take them.

6) New Jersey: 47 pts. Will be a my sleeper team come playoff time.

7) Minnesota: 48 pts. Have won 7 of the last 10.

8) Montreal: 47 pts. Best Power Play in the league at 24.2%

9) Calgary: 49 pts. Mike Keenan
