- Dennis Wideman suffered miserably last year to the point of being booed by his home crowd, but here’s a player who was instrumental to the Bruins winning the Eastern Conference title in 2008-09. The Panthers may be getting an impact defenseman who will be expected to do less in Florida than in Boston. Wideman can begin the season in the number three role behind Bryan McCabe and Keith Ballard, but he may emerge as Florida’s top rearguard.

- For the moment, the Bruins may have the most lopsided divide between talent at their forward and defense positions of any team in the NHL. Zdeno Chara is a minute-munching superstar, but Dennis Seidenberg is (ideally) a good number four defenseman on a competitive team, and right now, he’s the second-best blueliner the Bruins have. Meanwhile, with the addition of Horton, the Bruins have seven top-6 forwards under contract, without even mentioning RFA Blake Wheeler and UFA Mark Recchi. Add to that, the B’s are positioned to draft Tyler Seguin who is expected to step in right away. The solution is fairly obvious, and you’d expect to see the Bruins move one centre and perhaps the rights to Wheeler in the coming days.

- If the goal was to acquire a scoring winger to at least partially fill the void left by Phil Kessel, the Bruins have acquired a suitable player; Horton has scored 30 goals, he’s a right-handed shooting right winger, and he’s believed to have consistency problems. Sounds like the player Boston traded to Toronto in September.

- Taking that a step further: will Horton play on the right side with Savard and Lucic, effectively replacing Kessel on the unit that was so successful together two years ago?

- How has Peter Chiarelli loaded up with so much talent while staying under the cap? Not a single Bruin forward carries a cap hit of 5 million or more — Patrice Bergeron’s (4.75) is the highest. Horton’s is 4 on the nose. Several others hover around 4 million.  Don’t look for that to change either, as Mark Recchi will sign for very little, and Tyler Seguin will play on his entry level contract for the next three seasons.

- What kind of player can the Florida Panthers expect to draft with the 15th overall pick? Last year the Ducks picked Peter Holland at 15. In the nine years previous it was Erik Karlsson, Alex Plante, Riku Helenius, Ryan O’Marra, Alexander Radulov, Robert Nilsson, Jesse Niniimaki, Igor Knyazev, Artem Kryukov. Not an impressive list, but the chance of getting a Karlsson or a Radulov makes the pick enticing.

- Horton and Weiss have been coupled in trade rumours since the notion of cleaning house surfaced in Florida, but Weiss should certainly be retained by GM Dale Tallon. At 3.1 million per season against the cap, Weiss is one of the better values around the league. At his production and dollar value he could be the ideal second line centre on a winning team.

- Then again, If Tallon decides to trade up for a second pick in the top 10, Weiss and the 15th pick could probably do the trick…

- Long-time Bruin Marco Sturm wears number 16, so what digits will Horton choose to wear in Beantown?

- This has nothing to do with the trade, but the Panthers should wear their third jerseys as their home jerseys and forever scrap the current home sweaters. That’s gotta be one of the ugliest jerseys in the league. Probably bottom five.

- We’ve learned since the consummation of the trade that Horton asked Dale Tallon to be moved when the two first sat down to discuss next season. Despite Horton’s talent, Panther fans should be relieved that he’s been shipped away — nothing quite kills a team environment like the aura of a player who doesn’t want to be there. For Karma’s sake, here’s hopin’ the Panthers take the season series next year.

- Trading Halak was the first roster move of significance executed by Pierre Gauthier, and it’s made him a villain to Canadiens fans. To begin the offseason, Gauthier makes a highly controversial move which doesn’t earn the respect of fans, nor does it help his credibility as GM. Unless Gauthier makes some very astute moves this summer, it won’t be until Carey Price gets a winning streak under his belt that Jaroslav Halak lovers will be (temporarily) silenced.

- Looking for a great way to tease a Canadiens fan? Have a t-shirt made with the word “Price” inside of a yield sign.

- While not a Vezina candidate or a Stanley Cup Champion, Jaroslav Halak is the hottest goaltender in the NHL. Making the move all the more unpopular is Halak’s mammoth playoff performance having occured just weeks ago; heroic showings against Washington and Pittsburgh endeared Halak to the fans of Montreal, who then watch as he’s shipped to St. Louis such a short time later. Timing really isn’t your thing, Pierre.

- Speaking of St. Louis, the Blues will make the playoffs next year and finish third in their division. After a sixth place finish in 08-09, the Blues finished 9th in the West in 09-10. They perhaps over-achieved finishing sixth, while 9th place was a good indication of their talent level this past year. Halak will give the organization a new sense of confidence; he is now the best goaltender in the Central division.

- Don’t think Gauthier got enough for Halak? You’re right. On Draft Day in 2007, Maple Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr. Traded the 13th overall pick and the 44th overall picks to San Jose for Vesa Toskala and Mark Bell. Bell was in the midst of a controversial drinking and driving incident and carried an inflated contract. Toskala had platooned with Evgeni Nabokov and posted decent numbers. The Blues swapped picks with the Sharks and ended up selecting Lars Eller at 13th, then Aaron Palushaj at 44th. There’s little separation between the projections of Palushaj and Schultz as NHLers. Regardless, the fact that Vesa Toskala garnered a similar return as Halak speaks volumes about a) John Ferguson’s ineptitude as a GM, and b) Pierre Gauthier’s ineptitude as a GM.

- Despite the trade backlash, everything could eventually be okay in Montreal if Carey Price turns it around. Don’t forget (Gauthier certainly hasn’t) that Price has won a Calder Cup and shown flashes of brilliance in his young career. If he can sharpen his focus and cope with the pressure of Montreal, there is no reason why Price can’t be a perennial all-star. But until that happens, he’s best represented by a yield sign.

- But to dampen the optimism, Carey Price’s 13-20-5 record this past season is absolutely horrid compared with Halak’s record of  26-13-5. Price had 0 shutouts; Halak had 5. In only 4 more starts, Halak doubled Price’s win total.

- They still have quite a few players to sign, but at the moment, the St. Louis Blues have the most cap space in the NHL. Halak’s contract will likely fall between the 4.5-6 million dollar range, but that price is well worth it to solidify the goaltending position. While only 11 Blues are currently under contract, 5 of them are top-6 forwards, so there will be plenty of buck leftover once the roster is filled out.

- If the Canadiens were concerned about paying Halak, that’s an odd stance because Montreal is one of the handful of teams who always spend to the cap. Why cut corners on goaltending? Halak just proved once again to the hockey world that great goaltending can steal rounds. The Canadiens have 7 million per season invested in Scott Gomez — a contract they stupidly took off the hands of the Rangers — but they tremble at the idea of paying their best goaltender over a million dollars less than that?

- If all other 29 teams knew about Halak’s availability, couldn’t someone have pitched a better offer than Eller and Schultz? The Blues are rich in prospects, but considering the lack of true number one goaltenders on the UFA market, it’s hard to believe another franchise didn’t make a stronger pitch. (Lookin’ at you, San Jose and Colorado)

- It doesn’t help Gauthier’s appearances when he publically projects Eller as a future second line centre. When you take away your franchise’s hero, at least build up the assets you’ve garnered in return. Nobody gets excited by the idea of a potential second line centre and a potential top-6 winger in exchange for a franchise goaltender. Credit to Gauthier for his honesty in appraising the trade return, but it’s easier to calm your fuming fanbase when they can get excited about their newly acquired players.

We might have to pick Philadelphia to come out of the East again next year.

The rights to Dan Hamhuis have been acquired by the Stanley Cup runner-up Philadelphia Flyers, leaving starting goaltending as the only remaining roster weakness to be addressed in Philly.

After the Flyers finished an NHL worst 22-48-12 in 06-07, Paul Holmgren snagged current Flyer staples Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell from Nashville via trade prior to July 1st, giving Philadelphia exclusive negotiating rights with the tandem.

Successfully signing both, these additions were part of a dramatic one-year turnaround in Philly, which saw the Flyers reach the Eastern Conference Final only 12 months after finishing 30th overall.

Three seasons later, watching Hartnell and Timonen play key roles in the Stanley Cup Final makes Holmgren’s maneuvering look all the more shrewd. And once again, Holmgren shows his decisiveness prior to July 1st.

Just 10 days after losing out on the Cup, the Flyers have made a surprisingly early offseason roster splash. If they can get Hamhuis signed, the Flyers may have the best group of defensemen in the NHL next season.

With a third pairing that will likely be anchored by one of Carle or Hamhuis, Chris Pronger shouldn’t be as overworked in the playoffs and can be more well-rested for key situations, without the justifiable fear of a third-pairing mishap.

Trading for an impending free agent isn’t always the answer (see: Jay Bouwmeester), but without question Paul Holmgren can hang his hat on this trade. Ryan Parent isn’t highly valued by the organization, and Hamhuis might be a catalyst for another lengthy playoff run in Philadelphia.

Considering the shallow unrestricted free agent crop this summer, Holmgren wasn’t prepared to wait until July first to try and woo his prime target. Hamhuis, along with Paul Martin, are likely to be the most pursued UFA defensemen this year. If Holmgren is able to sign Hamhuis to a deal in the 3.5-4 million dollar range, he will once again look like a brilliant manager.

The dust has finally settled on trade season, as 31 trades involving 55 players and 25 draft picks were consummated on the NHL’s busiest day of the year. That number doesn’t even include the many significant deals made prior to March 3rd. Names such as Phaneuf, Kovalchuk and Barker changed hands in what has been a trade-crazy 2010.

Below we summarize all of this year’s notable trades, including those made before the deadline day.




- “Brian Burke Day”

- Chris Higgins & Ales Kotalik for Olli Jokinen & Brandon Prust

- Ilya Kovalchuk for Johnny Oduya & Nicklas Bergfors

- Niclas Wallin to San Jose

- Kari Lehtonen to Dallas

- Matt Cullen to Ottawa

- Cam Barker for Kim Johnsson

- Jordan Leopold to Pittsburgh

- Denis Grebeshkov to Nashville

- Alexei Ponikarovsky to Pittsburgh

- Derek Morris to Phoenix

- Dennis Seidenberg to Boston

- Jeff Halpern to Los Angeles

- Peter Mueller for Wojtek Wolski

- Lee Stempniak to Phoenix

- Raffi Torres to Buffalo

- Joe Corvo to Washington

- Ryan Whitney for Lubomir Visnovsky

The Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers exchanged very similar defensemen just prior to the 3:00 PM trade deadline.

The Trade

To Anaheim: D Lubomir Visnovsky
To Edmonton: D Ryan Whitney, 6th Round Pick

From Anaheim’s Standpoint

Visnovsky makes 1.6 million dollars more against the cap than Whitney, which is a fairly accurate representation of the upgrade Anaheim is getting on the back end. Visnovsky is a small (5′10″) but extremely effective offensive defenseman. He will help the powerplay and log a ton of minutes along with Scott Niedermayer and James Wisniewski. Once Niedermayer retires at season’s end, Visnovsky will be the team’s most important defenseman. Visnovsky is 33 and will likely never reprise his monstrous production of ‘05-’06, a year in which he notched 67 points. However, on pace for a healthy 43-point output this year, Lubo should produce 40+ points for the remaining three years of his contract. Injuries may be a concern for the Ducks, as the Slovakian Olympian has struggled with his health for the past two seasons.

From Edmonton’s Standpoint

As a rebuilding team, the Oilers benefit by getting younger with this deal while saving 1.6 million against the cap. For the remainder of the year the Oilers are likely to be hurt by this trade, considering Whitney’s down season and Visnovsky’s expertise on the powerplay. In Whitney, the Oilers get a player whose stock has dropped considerably over the past two seasons. After scoring 59 points in ‘06-’07, Whitney looked to be on the rise — a potential superstar offensive defenseman. However, he’s since trailed off and been traded twice. You must wonder why both the Ducks and Penguins were okay with dealing Whitney, after he had shown such promise. The Oilers should be well enough acquainted with Whitney to find out why by season’s end. Despite what may ail his game, Whitney performed decently during the high stakes Olympic tournament.

Final Thoughts

The Ducks strongly believe this deal will get them into the post-season. It’s fair to say that most of the hockey world was blindsided by this deal; Whitney seemed like a building block in Anaheim and Visnovsky’s 5.6 million dollar contract appeared very tough to move. However, both General Managers involved believe they have made the right move for their team. For now, it’s a win for the Ducks, but the Oilers could be the eventual winners.

The Washington Capitals, one of the busiest NHL team’s on deadline day, add offensive defenceman Joe Corvo to their blueline.

The Trade

To Washington: D Joe Corvo
To Carolina: D Brian Pothier, F Oskar Osala, 2011 2nd Round Pick

From Washington’s Standpoint

As offensively explosive as they are, the Capitals don’t have much depth on the back end. Beyond Mike Green, the blueline looked pretty thin before today, especially with Tom Poti on the IR. Well, the Caps improved and added depth by re-acquiring Milan Jurcina for a 6th round pick and grabbing Joe Corvo from the Hurricanes. Corvo will be utilized on the powerplay by the Capitals, right alongside Mike Green. Corvo set career highs in goals, assists and points last season with the Hurricanes. He was an integral part of Ottawa’s Stanley Cup Final team in 2007, so he is very familiar with the grind of a lengthy playoff run.

From Carolina’s Standpoint

Carolina was also a busy team in the last few days. One of the league’s top sellers at the deadline, the Canes gutted their roster in favour of picks and prospects. Corvo netted them a pretty nice return. Brian Pothier will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, giving them the opportunity to spend money on free agents. Oskar Osala will likely play in Carolina this season, having recorded 29 points in the AHL. The ‘Canes are looking towards a quick rebuild, and prospects like Osala are exactly what they need.

Final Thoughts
The Capitals made a statement on deadline day that they are making a strong push for the Stanley Cup this year. They added depth up front and on the blueline, and they already lead the league with 91 points. Corvo will take some pressure off Mike Green and should make a difference.

The Buffalo Sabres acquire a player who looks like a Red Bull and who plays like he has just chugged six Red Bulls.

The Trade

To Buffalo: F Raffi Torres
To Columbus: D Nathan Paetsch, 2nd Round Pick

From Buffalo’s Standpoint

The Buffalo Sabres sagged into the Olympic break after an unbelievable performance in the first half of the season. The addition of Raffi Torres is an attempt to regain some of the vigour the Sabres have lost, in the form of a goal-scoring winger with a highly effective physical game. The 28-year-old impending UFA is a proven 20-goal scorer who has an energizing effect on his linemates. Torres is a rare combination of grit and skill who will help a Sabres team full of underachieving forwards. Pominville, Vanek, Roy and others are underperforming, so the addition of Torres will be a welcome one. Torres is a valued playoff performer based on his run with the Oilers in 2006, coming off a 27-goal regular season. Buffalo surrenders the expected price of a second round draft pick which should prove to be well worth the expenditure

From Columbus’ Standpoint

The impending UFA Nathan Paetsch is inconsequential to this deal, whereas the second round pick means everything for Columbus. After a surprising playoff birth last year, the first ever for the franchise, the Jackets have regressed this year and shown their need to continue building through the draft. It’s been a heartbreaking season for the Blue Jackets, but Torres has been one of the few bright spots. Bright spots with expiring contracts on non-playoff teams often translate to the acquisition of draft picks, so the Blue Jackets look to the future by shipping Torres out.

Final Thoughts

This deal might help to wake up the Sabres, but they remain a second-tier playoff team in the East. The World watched as Ryan Miller put Team USA on his back, so a successful Sabres playoff run is not out of the question. However, Torres is at best a second-line winger who shouldn’t be counted upon for top-line output, despite his ability to score. A big win for both clubs.

Just a season removed from trading Alexander Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo to the St. Louis Blues for Lee Stempniak, the Leafs have sent the impending UFA to Phoenix.

The Trade

To Phoenix: RW Lee Stempniak
To Toronto: D Matt Jones, 4th Round Pick (2010), 7th Round Pick (2010)

From Phoenix’s Standpoint

In Lee Stempniak, the Coyotes receive a once-promising sniper who has steadily declined since his breakout 27-goal season in ‘06-’07 with the St. Louis Blues. With just 30 points in 62 games this season, Stempniak has fallen well short of expectations. His strong work ethic and forechecking ability have led to reduced scrutiny of his offensive numbers, but he remains a solid depth player and an offensive disappointment. An obscure stat that may give hope to Coyotes fans is Stempniak’s 5 points in 5 games against Pacific Division opponents. He won’t be relied on to score as much as he was in Toronto and will probably be slotted on the 3rd or 4th line in Phoenix. At 27, Stempniak can still redeem himself, and a spot on the playoff-bound Coyotes may be the motivation that leads to improved play.

From Toronto’s Standpoint

This trade was merely a dump of an impending UFA for some low draft picks. The 4th and 7th round picks are not a great return, as several players of lesser caliber (Sutton, Moore) garnered 2nd rounders, but acquiring any pick for an expiring contract can be viewed as a plus. Defenceman Matt Jones was most likely tossed in to the deal for salary reasons and will not have much bearing on the Leafs’ future. The 26-year-old, former 3rd-rounder, hasn’t played in the NHL since 2007-2008 and has been a minus-27 in his short 106 game career thus far. The eventual assets Toronto acquire with these picks may never step foot on NHL ice or one of them may be the next Pavel Datsyuk. It will be a long while before the Leafs know what they get.

Final Thoughts

The Coyotes have made a number of moves at this year’s deadline as a statement about their playoff aspirations. Along with Stempniak, the Coyotes made a splash by acquiring Wojtek Wolski, Alexandre Picard, Petteri Nokelainen, and re-acquiring defenceman Derek Morris. The Leafs are heading the opposite direction, with virtually no top-6 forwards in the fold beyond Phil Kessel. The departure of Lee Stempniak will free up more time for wingers Viktor Stalberg and newly acquired Luca Caputi.

The Coyotes and Avalanche swap superbly talented youngsters who have both fallen out of favour with their now former NHL franchises.

The Trade

To Phoenix: F Wojtek Wolski
To Colorado: C Peter Mueller, D Kevin Porter

From Phoenix’s Standpoint

Wojtek Wolski is a supremely talented player, who has performed far better than Peter Mueller this season. The speedy 6′3″ left winger has scored 47 points in 63 games this year, but has been criticized for his work ethic. From a purely statistical standpoint, the Coyotes should be pleased with this deal as Wolski will sit tied for the team lead in points with Shane Doan as he arrives in Phoenix. Positive for Phoenix is Wolski’s age (24) and the fact that his criticisms as a player are mostly based around his attitude. You can’t complain about production, and Wolski has produced. Phoenix is coached by the veteran Dave Tippett, who perhaps can make an impression on Wolski, who was being coached by rookie bench-boss Joe Sacco in Colorado.

From Colorado’s Standpoint

Peter Mueller was once considered a franchise cornerstone in Phoenix, thanks largely to his phenomenal rookie season in which he posted 22 goals and 54 points. Mueller was also a standout in the 2006 World Junior tournament, where he showed every indication of being the next great American centreman. The Avalanche make this deal in hopes that Mueller can turn his game around in the long haul, but this trade will hurt them if he fails to reverse his sour season; Colorado is headed for the playoffs and reliable point-getters are of tremendous importance in the Spring. The upside for Mueller is enormous, as the 6′2″, 21-year-old is a former 8th overall pick is believed to be struggling (similarly to Wolski) because of attitude and work ethic-related issues. He is set to become a restricted free agent after this season, so the Avalanche will have the leverage in those discussions after an off-year from Mueller.

Final Thoughts

Every trade must be evaluated in detail after the fact to truly determine the winner, but that is especially the case with this deal. Mueller and Wolski are top-flight talents, swapped in hopes that a change of surroundings can help them wake up and mature into consistent, hardworking players. For now, Phoenix wins.

The Los Angeles Kings are gearing up for a playoff run, and they just added veteran forward Jeff Halpern.

The Trade

To Los Angeles: Jeff Halpern
To Tampa Bay: Ted Purcell, 2010 3rd Round Pick

From Los Angeles’ Standpoint

The Kings are looking for depth as they will surely make the playoffs for the first time since 2001-02. Halpern is a defensive-minded player with a propensity for penalty killing. He will provide leadership on a young LA team. Essentially a rental player, Halpern will become a UFA on July 1st. Halpern scored a career high 19 goals and 46 points on the Capitals in 2003-04, and while he hasn’t been putting up great numbers the last few years, he has the opportunity to play with some very talented players on the Kings. He will likely be a staple of the Kings’ third line.

From Tampa Bay’s Standpoint

Teddy Purcell is a young player with less than 100 games played in the NHL, but was an AHL All-Star in 2008. An undrafted winger, he will become a piece of the rebuilding team in Tampa Bay. The third round pick that Tampa gets will also help them turn around this franchise, which has a lot of very nice pieces moving forward. Teddy Purcell will become a restricted free agent on July 1st. The Lightning have the high-end players but aren’t strong as far as secondary scoring goes. The acquisition of Purcell targets that need.

Final Thoughts

The Kings’ young players will be entering the playoffs for the first time, and they will look to Halpern and his experience in four playoff series for leadership. Purcell goes the other way, to a Tampa Bay team that is fighting for a spot in the post-season.

The Boston Bruins make their second deal of deadline day, acquiring veteran defenceman Dennis Seidenberg and prospect Matt Bartowski.

The Trade

To Boston: Dennis Seidenberg, Matt Bartkowski
To Florida: Byron Bitz, Craig Weller, 2010 2nd Round Pick

From Boston’s Standpoint

Earlier in the day, the Bruins sent Derek Morris to Phoenix, which was closely related to this deal. Seidenberg will add a veteran presence to Boston’s blueline — and more importantly, skill. Seidenberg has bounced between teams over the last few seasons, but is a big, reliable defenceman who put up 30 points for the Hurricanes last season and played for Team Germany at the 2010 Olympics. Seidenberg made a name for himself in last year’s playoffs with Carolina, where he was arguably their best defenseman as the Hurricanes reached the Conference Finals. Bartkowski plays for Ohio State, and is a long way from the NHL.

From Florida’s Standpoint

The Panthers will be one of the busiest teams today, as GM Randy Sexton has stated several times. The Panthers get NHL grinder Byron Bitz and AHL regular Craig Weller, but more importantly get a 2nd round pick out of the deal. The picks and prospects the Panthers acquire today will start them on the path to rebuilding.

Final Thoughts

Rumours have been flying about Seidenberg being dealt for weeks, so this comes as no surprise. The Bruins really need a winger to play with Marc Savard, but Claude Julien is all about defense, so this deal makes sense. Byron Bitz and Craig Weller won’t do much in Florida, but Seidenberg could help the B’s sneak into the post-season. Seidenberg is definitely an upgrade from Derek Morris, but the Bruins are still thin on the blueline.

The Boston Bruins once again shuffle the deck on defense, sending Derek Morris back to the Coyotes.

The Trade

To Phoenix: D Derek Morris
To Boston: 4th Round Pick

From Phoenix’s Standpoint

Phoenix picks up a defenseman familiar to the organization who in fact only waived his no-trade clause because the destination was Phoenix. Morris played the better part of five seasons in Phoenix, amassing 93 points. The 6 foot, 220-pound Morris is having a good statistical season with 25 points in 57 games. For the Coyotes, defense is a position of strength, so Morris should be considered a depth pickup at least for now. Phoenix relies heavily on Yandle, Jovanovski and Michalek on D and they also have Aucoin and Vandermeer in the fold. Morris may see second-pairing minutes. The Coyotes are headed towards the playoffs and find themselves in the unfamiliar “buyer” category. They add experience to an already-experienced group of defensemen.

From Boston’s Standpoint

Morris was overpaid and not living up to expectations in Boston (just like the rest of the roster), so the Bruins free up cap space with this deal and ship out a player who wasn’t a great fit. Shortly after this trade was announced, the B’s picked up defenseman Dennis Seidenberg. Just as they moved Aaron Ward in the summer to bring in Morris, they’ve now moved Morris to make room for Seidenberg. And the revolving door continues for second-pairing defensemen in Boston. The Bruins don’t get full value back for their asset, as Morris’ skill would garner a 2nd round pick in return if he was making more reasonable money.

Final Thoughts

Major win for the Coyotes, who get a quality defenseman that loves playing in Phoenix. While Phoenix wins this deal, the Bruins make this move in conjunction with the Seidenberg trade and finish the day with a stronger blueline.
