And now the final countdown begins - cue Europe.

To this point there's been depth abound changing hands, with Phoenix really helping themselves out acquiring Wojtek Wolski and Mathieu Schneider. The Kings added some leadership with Jeff Halpern, and the Capitals acquired the rugged Scott Walker and versatile Eric Belanger.

Our Men of Four Feathers have been quiet to this point, and reports are coming in that it appears that the Hawks are staying put. A lot could change in this hour, though. I wouldn't be overly disappointed if nothing happens, but the right deal could really help the team for the last part of the season as well as April and beyond.

The last hour and the immediate aftermath should be fun with all the late breaking deals, so stick with us a little bit after 2PM as the last second stuff comes filtering down.
