With less than a week until the NHL Trade Deadline, check out the latest trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. Flip it and Reverse It? The Buffalo Sabres made the first big move of the pre-trade deadline season by dealing Ryan Miller and Steve Ott for Chris Stewart, Jaroslav Halak and draft picks, but they are probably far from done dealing. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun believes the Sabres could look to flip Stewart before Wednesday. LeBrun believes the Sabres may consider Stewart as a possible fit for the teams rebuilding core, given that he has one year remaining on his contract and is still only 26. However, LeBrun countered, the offers on Stewart could also be enticing to the Sabres with the Ottawa Senators believed to be interested in the forward dating back to before Fridays blockbuster. Meanwhile, LeBrun tweeted Saturday afternoon that the Minnesota Wild are kicking the tires on goaltenders available via trade, including Halak. Pitt Stop? While Ryan Keslers availability via trade remains a contentious issue around the Canucks, the Pittsburgh Penguins might be leading the charge to try to pry the 29-year-old loose. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Reviews Rob Rossi tweeted early Saturday that the Pens are "very interested and [it] sounds like theyre on his list." Kesler has two years remaining on his current contract at an average annual value of $5 million. Rossi expanded on his tweet in an article on Saturday, reporting that the Penguins would offer Brandon Sutter, two 2014 draft picks and the Canucks choice of defensemen Simon Despres or Brian Dumoulin Out of Oil If this is Ales Hemskys last week in an Oiler uniform, the Czech forward appears ready for whatever comes next. "It could be my last two games in this locker-room, so I better enjoy it,” the 30-year-old winger said after practice on Friday. “I want to enjoy every moment Ill spend with the guys, with my friends, with the people I know." “Im ready for it. Im excited.” With a provincial showdown with the Flames on tap for Saturday it could provide one last battle-ground for the winger, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Strictly Business Cory Schneider doesnt want to see his crease-mate Martin Brodeur traded, but understands that if the 41-year-old does get moved its just part of the business of being an NHL player. “Marty is big part of this team and has been forever. Im not sure there is any player as synonymous with the franchise as Marty has been or is. So it wouldnt be just anybody leaving this team. It would be the most important player in the franchises history,” the 27-year-old netminder told The Star-Ledger. Schneider, of course, is no stranger to speculation, having endured years of rumours in Vancouver playing alongside Roberto Luongo. The way that situation played out this off-season – resulting in his relocation to New Jersey – has shown Schneider that anything is possible. “It would be difficult for everybody, but thats kind of what happens. I didnt think I was going to get traded and I did. It happens. It could happen to anybody.” Myydään Yeezy Boost 350 V2 . - The New England Patriots needed help on defence so they added three experienced players at midseason. Adidas NMD R1 Halvalla .

The competition in France is well underway, with the current European champions beginning their campaign with a 1-0 victory against the Czech Republic.But Portugal were held to a shock 1-1 draw with Iceland, with captain Ronaldo expressing his anger at the result after the game. With both teams in action for their second group games over the weekend, Sky Sports Spanish football expert Balague gives his thoughts on Ronaldo and answers your questions on La Roja...The main problem for Ronaldo is Portugal. They dont work enough as a team. When things went wrong and Iceland levelled, having created enough chances by that time to be ahead by more than one goal, the Portugal weve seen so often came out, which is a Portugal where every player tries to do things on their own and they try to be too direct. Anxious. Cristiano Ronaldo was critical of Iceland after they drew 1-1 on Tuesday They have enough quality to keep the ball, to find the spaces in between the lines and to be patient. They have the quality in the legs but obviously not in the head. They rushed decisions and then it became all crosses, one of which from Nani could have been headed better by Ronaldo. The conditions werent created for Ronaldo for more clear chances, so he ended up shooting from outside the box and forcing the finishing.Of course, Ronaldo is helped by the presence of Bale and Benzema at Real Madrid where theres a lot of movement up front and what he likes is a decoy - a centre-forward who does the dirty work and keeping the centre back busy - while he comes from the left, getting inside. Thats what he wants. Icelands midfielder Theodor Bjarnason and his teammates celebrate after the game But he should accept he cannot get that, that at least in Portugal his role is of a centre forward. My point with Ronaldo is that he has the ability as a striker to actually do damage. If Portugal decided to go with Nani or Ricardo Quaresma and him, he moans about the position because he has to do a lot of work, has to play a lot of the time with his back to goal and he feels that is not the best way to show all he can do.I think he is good enough to be a striker for Portugal, 80 per cent of the goals he scores are one-two touches already and he plays with Madrid a lot of the time as a number nine. I dont think Portugal need another striker unless they use one as a decoy to get the most space for him. Portugals Nani says there are positives to take from their 1-1 draw against Iceland How have the favourites impressed you?France are in trouble because I feel like Didier Deschamps is too conservative, but we will see what happens against Albania. They have enough quality to be more adventurous but the coach isnt.Spain went from slow build-up to attacking in dozens of different ways. Italy will be limited by the lack of talent, but as a team, they are one of the most accomplished. Didier Deschamps is too conservative with France, says Balague For me, Croatia are a team that has got a lot of room for improvement. They showed they have both the ability to set up as a team and the players that can take them to the next level - Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric to be two of them.I feel like Germany struggled to create chances, but they tend to finish them. Remember, this is a team that doesnt start well and can improve. How come Del Bosque doesnt trust Thiago and Aduriz to start? (@TheOnlyTaps)Well he prefers for instance Cesc Fabregas or the midfield that he uses. In the case of Thiago, the problem is theres always a feeling that he takes to many risks, loses balls that can create counter attacks and could be more useful in later parts of the game when the game has opened up. He might be plan B if you like. Alvaro Morata plays better with linking the teaam and Aduriz can take advantage of tired players as well.dddddddddddd Czech Republic defender Theodor Gebre Selassie vies for the header with Alvaro Morata The great thing about when Aduriz came on is that Spain didnt start just putting balls into him, they actually kept playing like they had done during the game. Little link ups, going wide, through the centre, in through the channels and so on. Aduriz is not a magnet for the team that way, but a striker that can also be useful to attract and finish, specially crossesWhat do you think of Spains lack of width and lack of a clinical striker up front? (@LeMonc20)I thought there was a lot of width. Nolito kept coming inside, but the full backs added width.Weve never been a nation that scores a lot of goals. Most of the games in the European Championship and World Cups that weve won have been 1-0. We are helped by the fact we defend well. Weve conceded no goals in the last 600 minutes in the Euros. We only conceded three times in the qualifiers, which means defensively, we play very high up. David Silva battles for the ball with David Limbersky in Toulouse We are doing well but of course it would be better if we could hit those chances we created. I feel like Morata does very well in his role of linking with the midfield, opening up spaces, fixing the centre-backs and that sort of thing but he hasnt shown with the national team to be a clinical finisher yet.Why is Hector Bellerin is not selected for Spain? (@RushiGooner)Juanfran was one of the best players for Spain, so it is not Bellerins time yet, but it soon will be. Hector Bellerin will get his chance for Spain in the near future, says Balague Does the relationship between Pique and Ramos off the pitch have an effect on their defensive partnership for Spain? (@neilstonehewer1)The Pique and Ramos situation was quite tense. They were both defending Barcelona and Real Madrid in their own peculiar way and they didnt back off when the other one provoked a response.There was coffee apparently between both of them early in their stay with Spain. Things have been clarified and you could see that Pique celebrated with a picture of him and Ramos jumping on his back on Twitter after the victory against the Czech Republic and that was replied to by Sergio Ramos. Gerard Pique heads the ball to score Spains winner past Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech Theyve shown very publicly that they actually are OK now so they will focus on the job in hand. They will never be best friends, but they know where they are and any tensions will be forgotten.How will Spain go about breaking down teams who park the bus or sit deep? (@TheOnlyTaps)You saw it against the Czech Republic - by being patient. It was a bit of a slow build-up at first and of course we dont have Xavi who was the clock that kept ticking at the right pace, but Iniesta was absolutely fantastic doing that most of the game as well as finding the forwards. I will celebrate Spain going far in the tournament because that may mean that Iniesta becomes the Ballon DOr winner for those who think thats important, but in any case, he has shown again he is a star and one of our best players ever. He was brilliant at keeping the ball, moving it around, breaking lines of defence and so on. Andres Iniesta bursts away from midfielder Tomas Rosicky in Spains 1-0 Euro 2016 win over the Czech Republic Can you see Cesc Fabregas being benched for either of Koke or Thiago after his poor performance? (@Ghedin1878)He is a question mark for the next game. I think they may still go for him, but has been seen in the midfield as the weakest link, partly because he played a little bit deeper and didnt get into the box as often has he should.I still think that he did good defensive work, he was quite disciplined and can give much more so he might stay in the team but has been considered as one of the question marks for the near future for Spain.
