The Anaheim Ducks are trying to make a splash before the trade deadline.

While the Ducks and Wings are waiting to see if Mats Sundin will agree to be dealt, sources say Anaheim GM Brian Burke has made a pitch to the Florida Panthers for Olli Jokinen and has also likely spoken with the Tampa Bay Lightning about Vaclav Prospal.

Burke has the assets to make a big trade. He doesn’t want the Sharks or Wings to get the upper hand, with the deadline set for Tuesday at 3 p.m. EST.

The Ducks have the Oilers’ No. 1 pick in this year’s draft and prospect Bobby Ryan to dangle.

Florida Panthers General Manager and Head Coach Jacques Martin announced today that the club has agreed to terms with C Stephen Weiss on a six-year contract extension.

Weiss joins a growing list of players who own multi-year deals that include Olli Jokinen, Nathan Horton, Tomas Vokoun, Brett McLean, Radek Dvorak, Richard Zednik, Jozef Stumpel, Ville Peltonen, Ruslan Salei, Mike Van Ryn, Bryan Allen, Cory Murphy and Craig Anderson.”
