2018 NHL Trade Deadline

[IPv6Freely 2092]

Phaneuf and Thompson traded from Ottawa to LA, in exchange for Gaborik and Shore. 

As a Kings fan, this made me throw up in my mouth a bit.

Why?

[215BroadStBullies610 435]

Senators acquire defenceman Ville Pokka from Chicago for Chris DiDomenico

Maple Leafs Trade Nikita Soshnikov to St Louis

[Hills 712]

Seeing that name/number on my team's jerseys lol. I'm not a Phaneuf fan at all.

Love him or hate him he's a good defensemen. Past his prime a bit though.

He's a decent depth guy at this point in his career, which is what LA picked him up to be.

So did Gaborik :)

Gaborik is more fragile than Mr. Glass.

Michal Kempny traded to Capitals by Blackhawks

Interesting to see how CHI finds their way back to be contenders. You pay the big boys and you have to be that much better at drafting/developing young players.

Mrazek traded to Flyers by Red Wings

As a Flyers fan, this is obviously a tired issue that I'm all too familiar with haha. Yet another goaltender. It seemed that Mrazek was on his way to pushing Howard out of the crease. Who knows what the Flyers will get. At least it adds some intrigue...

Flyers have gone year after year of being decent but having crap goalies. Not sure Mrazek is the answer but he’s never had a decent team in front of him.

Of course the flyers have one of the best goalie prospects who probably isn’t too far off so this is basically a stopgap I would think.

After the Islanders were in on trade rumors for so long... We need to replace Greiss, Halak isn't really the issue.

Snow really must go. (For the record, I don't think the billboard is a good idea.)

I agree. Carter Hart seems to be what the Flyers need but that won't be known for a couple more years. After letting Bobrovsky go (such a dumb move), the Flyers put themselves back into the "stop gap" process. Hopefully, Mrazek can be serviceable and not cost the Flyers games.

Grabner traded to Devils by Rangers, first made between rivals

Gotta wonder when Nash is leaving. I know he was a healthy scratch last night.

[215BroadStBullies610 435]

Pens acquire Brassard from Sens

Per article: "According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired centre Derick Brassard from the Ottawa Senators for a package including their 2018 first-round pick and defenceman Ian Cole. Dreger reports goaltending prospect Filip Gustavsson is also heading to the Senators as part of the deal. The Senators were previously without a draft pick in the first two rounds of June's draft as a result of their trade for Matt Duchene in November."

That adds needed depth for Pens. It gets the Sens a low 1st round draft pick. I don't know if Karlsson will be traded before the deadline but Monday is still 3 days away. 

[Hills 712]

This was a super interesting trade. I am curious what the details of it were before it was approved by the league.

Nash is finally gone, and the Bruins look to be really dangerous in the playoffs. Spooner and Beleskey seem like odd fits for the Rangers to me, maybe they get flipped. The first rounder and Lindgren are good pieces for New York as they kick off the rebuild.

The Maple Leafs have acquired Tomas Plekanec and Kyle Baun from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Rinat Valiev, Kerby Rychel and Toronto’s second-round draft pick in 2018.

Habs retail 50% of Plekanec’s salary.

WTF??

Bruins sign Brian Gionta to one-year, one-way contract through 2017-18 season worth $700,000

i am going to guess that the Leafs are trying to make at least 1 more trade (guessing right hand shot defenseman) which requires having enough cap space. From this chart the Leafs don't have much cap space.

^ LOL

 

Anyway, looking at the trades today there's been a few minor deals so far. The only one that stands out is Paul Stastny to Winnpeg, in exchange for Erik Foley, 2018 1st round pick, and a conditional 2020 4th round pick. Looks like the Jets are going for it.
