NHL Trade Deadline Open Thread: Part 3

4:05- Calgary Flames acquire: Steve Staois

Edmonton Oilers acquire: Aaron Johnson and a third rounder

 

3:30- Anaheim Ducks acquire: Lubomir Visnovsky

Edmonton Oilers acquire: Ryan Whitney

 

3:20- Larry Brooks confirms that the New York Rangers have not made any NHL moves. Looks like they are done.

 

3:15- Toronto Maple Leafs acquire: 2011 7th Rounder

Anaheim Ducks acquire: Joey MacDonald

 

3:09- Washington Capitals acquire: Joe Corvo

Carolina Hurricanes acquire: Brian Pothier and Oskar Osala

 

3:06- Phoenix Coyotes acquire: Lee Stepniak

Toronto Maple Leafs acquire: 4th and 7th rounders

Big day for the 'Yotes!

 

It is Officially 3 p.m. but more deals will probably be announced over the next hour.

------------------------------

2:56- Washington Capitals (re)acquire: Milan Jurcina

Columbus Blue Jackets acquire: TBA

Trade him in December, but then go back and reacquire him in March. Odd.

 

2:40- Atlanta Thrashers acquire: Clarke MacArthur

Buffalo Sabres acquire: 3rd and 4rd draft pick (date TBD)

Just over ten minutes left, but remember, many deals are announced after 3 pm.

 

2:27- Buffalo Sabres acquire: Raffi Torres

Columbus Blue Jackets acquire: Nathan Paetsch and a 2nd round pick (date TBD)

 Final 30 minutes here. Home stretch it is for Sather. He's gonna make a move.

 

2:03- Anaheim Ducks acquire: Curtis McElhinney

Calgary Flames acquire: Vesa Toskala

Well the Toskala experiment in Anaheim lasted long ...

 

1:47- Washington Capitals acquire: Eric Belanger

Minnisota Wild acquire: A 2nd round pick (date TBD)

 

You guys have been simply awesome. So awesome in fact, that the last thread was lagging from all the comments. Use this as your third, and final (maybe) open thread for this trade deadline. Remember it's official over at 3, but the deals only have to be finalized by then, so deals can be announced after 3. I will keep updating this with trades.

Thank you for updaing the trade thread and providing information as the info comes through.. My favorite site…

On another note, I feel something is brewing with Glen Sather quiet to date. With the rangers up against the cap this year will be difficult to move one of the R &R contracts, Albeit Rozy has been playing very well and has increased his value for a team looking for some veteran depth on the back end. However, who is going to take the contract?

by gene4240 on Mar 3, 2010 2:02 PM EST reply actions  

He’s managed not to shoot himself in the face with a slapshot or put his skates on the wrong feet…so for Roszival…that’s very good.

I am not calling them bad. Henrik is an above average goalie, but he chokes all the time. He isnt a big game goalie and thats what you need in the playoffs. Gaborik is amazing, our best player by far and I love watching him. Now here comes the but….. Gaborik is injury prone and I would bet you anything that within 2 years everyone will be bitching about him just like every other injury prone player we have picked up thru the years. Gaborik’s stock will not get any higher than it is today, so if you are a smart GM you trade him.

The Last Thing We Need

Is draft picks, especially first rounders. Malholtra, Lundmark, Brendl, Blackburn, Montoya, Jessiman, Korpikoski and Cherepanov (RIP)
Recently, only Staal and Del Zotto have made any impact what so ever

by The Last Shall Become First on Mar 3, 2010 3:30 PM EST up reply actions  

probably add another pick or prospect from prospal but yes.

by mleetch352 on Mar 3, 2010 3:22 PM EST up reply actions  

Could they have?

In theory yes, obviously given the deals around the league.

But I’m not sure the deals were there for them.

Master of the squeegee

by FreeBradshaw on Mar 3, 2010 3:22 PM EST up reply actions  

or whether sather was willing to make them

I think he thinks highly of prospal, and isnt going to ditch ollie after just getting him. girardi is another story.

its probably more likely no one wanted Girardi by himself but sather wasnt willing to package him with anything worthwhile

by Michaelpugs on Mar 3, 2010 3:23 PM EST up reply actions  

at least we can fight to get into the playoffs and get knocked out in the first round… gives us something to do for the next couple weeks

Ever since he took over for Smith, Sather has been making deadline deals like its going out of style. Bure, Poti, Carter, Ozolinsh, Morris, Antropov. He must of done something

Sather either didn’t try to make much happen or he couldn’t because he saddled his team with untradeable players and contracts!! His big move was trading someone I never heard of for someone else I never heard of!! Time to go!!!

sad to say we’re stuck for a few seasons with this.

by saw1stgame1960 on Mar 3, 2010 3:40 PM EST up reply actions  

i think the problem with the rangers today

is that they dont noe where they are…because the East sucks minus the top 4 teams…anything is possible so no team is out of it so far that they can sell and no team under the 4 spot is guanteed anything and doesnt want to sell off a piece it might need for a rental…because the rangers could right now go either way

by 8kpower on Mar 3, 2010 3:40 PM EST reply actions  

Today

= fail… we did not make any significant moves, didn’t clear cap space, and if we are trying to make a push we didn’t even improve… Honestly we should have been sellers and threw up the fire sale sign… I think we have young players to fill the ranks, and not trading girardi was an epic fail, not even getting a draft pick for a player that most definitely will not be back next year unless he makes a mil or less… I thought we were actually going to do something right for a change and sell but apparently not…

In of the biggest blockbusters in NHL history, the NYR got Kris Newbury from the Wings in exchange for Jordan Owens. Newbury has been called by many, “The Real Next One” and is said to have Gretzky like skills. So Sather did come through

For this franchise?

PERPETUALLY LOSING in the playoffs (1st round, or the rare occasion when they make it to the 2nd) – and then completely RETOOLING the roster every damned off season is a far more damning fate and therefore “worse”.
