With the NHL trade deadline fast approaching, Sean, Frank and Sean take a look at the teams that they want to see make a move leading up to the deadline on Friday at 3pm ET. It all starts with the NHL's hottest team since December, the Buffalo Sabres, who are linked to St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas. The guys also want to see action in the East from the Detroit Red Wings, Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals, and in the West, it's all about the Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars improving their rosters for the push to the playoffs.
