Pittsburgh - the Pens picked up Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis from the Thrashers for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a first round pick. This is a decent deal for the Thrashers, they get some depth, a decent prospect and a pick. For the Pens, they get a big shot in the offensive arm (potentially) and this could be a boom or bust swap. If Hossa can click with Crosby or Malkin, the East is the Pens to win.
Toronto - the Leafs moved Hal Gill to the Pens and Chad Kilger to the Panthers for a 2nd and 5th round pick. Gill gives the Pens some depth, while the Leafs get some extra picks in a deep NHL draft. Not much impact on the fantasy front however. Kilger gives the Panthers some size for a 3rd round pick.
NY Islanders - the Islanders moved Chris Simon to the Wild for a 6th round pick and Marc-Andre Bergeron to the Ducks for a 3rd round pick. Simon give the Wild even a tougher look for the next 20 games, and Bergeron should assist the Ducks in terms of moving the puck to their talented forwards and might see some 2nd unit PP time.
Detroit - the Red Wings scoop Brad Stuart from the Kings for a 2nd and 4th round pick. Stuart gives the Red Wings another decent defencemen to assist their injury plagued d-core. Stuart won't contribute enough offensively to make him worth alot of poolie attention.
LA Kings - the Kings also shipped JS Aubin to the Ducks for a 7th round pick. Aubin is a security blanket for the Ducks in case Giguere and/or Hillier go down; nothing more.
Phoenix - the Coyotes shipped Fredrik Sjostrom, David Leneveau and Josh Gratton to the Rangers for Marcel Hossa and Al Montoya. Not much fantasy impact here as the tow teams exchange at one time blue-chip prospects that could use a change of scenery.
NY Rangers - the Rangers acquired Christian Backman from the Blues for a 4th round pick. Backman is an average NMHL defenceman that gives the Rangers some depth for a draft pick for the Blues.
