Montreal Acquires: (G) Drew MacIntyre

Atlanta Acquires: (D) Brett Festerling

Got that as well. However, TSN states its a 2011 pick.

NHL news article states that the Caps traded away their 2011 2nd round pick last year.

Washington traded its 2010 and 2011 second-round picks at the deadline last year for Carolina defenseman Joe Corvo and Minnesota center Eric Belanger.

Vancouver adding forward depth - picking up Higgins and Lappy.

Wild get D-J. Penner and F- M. Lehtonen from Bruins for G- A. Khudobin. Per TSN.

Also looks like the Ducks got f- B. Winchester for a 2012 3rd round pick. NHL says TSN reported this but I can't confirm. Can anyone confirm these trades? I guess that is old news, but NHL just reported it. Still need confirmation on the first one.

I didn't expect the Arnott trade.

I see Montreal finally decided to get a tough guy in their next game against Boston.

Should make things rather interesting.

The Habs should have picked up Lilja.

Why would they need another enforcer now that MacIntyre is there?

Imo I think who they have in there line up are better then these two... Higgins is becoming a suitcase

[e_prime 1,936]

Glad I didn't take a day off, this was a boring day apparently.

Amen, brother. This was a snoozefest.

When Penner is the big deal of the day... *yawn*

[SweWings 45]

wow... i must say i'm extremely happy i wasn't at home to follow this

[Trapt1307 81]

The salary cap totally ruined the trade deadline. Used to be one of my favorite days of the year, now it's just lame. Moving it up a couple weeks made it even worse.

If this is some subtle wit that I'm not getting, I will make my apologies, but just to bring it down to my level... The Habs did acquire Drew MacIntyre, a 190 lb. goalie, not big Steve MacIntyre, who still plays for Edmonton as far as I know, correct?

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Will Penner be in LA for tonights game?

I doubt it. That would be an impressive turn-around time.

You're right, my humor is not that subtle.

For some reason, I read that as Steve MacIntyre. I had heard in fight circles that the Habs may be looking for a tough guy. I just saw MacIntyre and figured they made their move. And yes he does still play in Edmonton.

I think Anaheim should get another fighter.

They seemed close to getting Zenon Konopka.

They didn't get him? I know they got McGratton and Winchester.

Vancouver certainly got better. Subtle moves, but addressed their need for depth on the bottom two lines. Yes I know, they need to win when it matters, but damn that is one stacked team.

I agree. I'd say if they don't have to, or can get through us, they're winning the Cup this year.

I don't think their franchise has ever been in this position before.

Being the top favorite in the West and maybe to win the Cup. Interesting to see how they respond. Hopefully, really poorly.

Nope. The Islanders decided to keep him around. He will be a free agent this summer, however As much as I'd love to see McGrattan get some ice time in Anaheim, his chances are small. He will play in Syracuse (Anaheim's AHL affiliate) to start out. Hopefully he gets called up!
