Some Trade Deadline Updates

We have a few more moves coming in - again, nothing of the blockbuster variety.

  • The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a deal, sending defenseman Keith Aulie to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for prospect Carter Ashton.
  • Lightning GM Steve Yzerman would later add Brian Lee from the Ottawa Senators to his defense, sending Matt Gilroy the other way.
    • I like Yzerman's aggressiveness in trying to strengthen Tampa's defense. Commodore, Aulie and Lee should held. But goalie is still a need.
  • The Vancouver Canucks acquired Sami Pahlsson from the Columbus Blue Jackets. TSN's Bob McKenzie has the Blue Jackets getting back a player and draft pick(s), though he mentioned no specific names or rounds. Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch has the Blue Jackets receiving two fourth round picks.
  • The Colorado Avalanche have sent a package of forwards Daniel Winnik, T.J. Galiardi and a seventh round draft pick to the San Jose Sharks. Still waiting on who the Avs got in return.
  • Johnny Oduya, one of the bigger names on Winnipeg's trading block, has been acquired by the Chicago Blackhawks to give them a defensive presence they've been searching for. Winnipeg gets back second and third round picks in 2013.
