Reader poll: trade deadline; plus game time pushed back

Published 12:27 pm Monday, January 4, 2010

First a note about tomorrow’s game at Kamloops. Canada, as I’m sure many of you know, is wild about the World Junior Hockey Championships. Tomorrow sees Canada and the U.S. square off in the gold-medal game. Thus, to accommodate all the fans who want to watch that game, the Blazers have pushed back the start time of the Everett-Kamloops game to 8 p.m.

Now on to the poll. This is trade deadline week, with the deadline coming Sunday (odd day for that). Everett finds itself in a rather awkward position with relation to the trade deadline. At 21-16-2-1 and in fourth place in the U.S. Division, the Tips could use some assistance to become a true contender. However, it’s a seller’s market out there, and the indication from previous trades is that prices are sky high. And are the Tips close enough where one player could make the difference?

Here’s your chance to have your say:
