I don't know why...but I found this particularly hilarious.

I can guarantee you that if we picked up Bouwmeester or Jokinen or Neil. That those guys wouldn't even come CLOSE to ensuring that we get through the first round as much as Hossa does. Not to say that just because we have Hossa guarantees that we get past the first round. But the chances are much, much higher if we didn't have him and singed one of the "big names" that moved today. Hossa was our trade deadline deal. I'll take Hossa, Zetterberg and Datsyuk over Bouwmeester, Jokinen and Neil 340 times out of 100.

Exactly what I thought would happen and I'm okay with it.

TRADE: Moen and Huskins to San Jose for two prospects and a draft pick

TRADE: San Jose trades McLaren to Philadelphia for a 6th round pick.

Yeah, Calgary's moves aren't that spectacular. They were plus side moves, for sure. But I don't think they're any scarier than they were yesterday.

No moves for San Jose either.

TRADE: Morris to the Rangers For Kalinin, Dawes and Prucha from Phoenix

Toronto trying to flip Gerber.

TRADE: From Toronto Maple Leafs: Antropov to the Rangers: 2nd rounder and conditional draft picks

TRADE: from Phoenix: Carcillo to Philadelphia for Scottie Upshall and a 2nd rounder

Toronto has received offers of 2nd round picks for Antropov and Moore and are holding out for more.

The NHL Network's coverage is a joke. They just got around to dispelling the Moore/Chicago rumors.

Update on the Guerin trade: From Islanders: Guerin To Pittsburg: conditional draft pick (5th 4th or 3rd depending on playoff position)

one hour left.

TRADE: Guerin to the Penguins

Moore not moving to Chicago. Still no deal.

Boston sent Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums to Tampa for Recchi and a 2nd rounder

. as someone already said. Regular season game vs St. Louis doesn't equal playoffs.

TRADE Recchi traded to Boston.

Downey threw a great one right before his fight and Datsyuk is usually good for a couple. Cleary had a few solid ones too.

there is also a 3rd round pick going to Calgary in the Jokinen deal.

A couple names that have been mentioned that could still move: Bouwmeester Neil Morris Guerin Tkachuk Martinek Betts Nilsson Smid Pouliot Antropov Moore Recchi

Yes, pretty much official. Lombardi, Prust and a 1st rounder headed the other way.

TRADE: P.Nokelainen from Boston to Ducks for S. Montador. M. Lombardi, B.Prust and a 1st from Calgary to Phoenix for O. Jokinen.
