[Indio]

Wade Belak from Toronto to the Panthers for a 5th round draft pick in 2008.

[Indio]

Brian Campbell and a 7th round draft pick traded from Buffalo to the SJ Sharks for Steve Bernier and a 1st round draft pick (I was hoping Ottawa would pick him up)

NADA!

One step closer to hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup in San Jose. I sure hope I can get the time off from the Back Shop to attend the parade in sunny San Jose if they win.

Wade Belak, I can't fathom giving up a 5th round pick for him. Maybe a bag of practice pucks and some towels for the dressing room. But a 5th round pick? Surely a team with some decent scouts could draft a much better player than Belak with that pick. Hey maybe Fletcher is on the ball afterall!

[Golfer_Gofer]

Campbell to The Sharks

Nobody has said for who yet.

[Weazl]

That means Carle is probably now available.

[Indio]

Brad Richards and Johan Holmqvist from TB Lightining to Dallas for Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen and Jeff Halpern. Richards has approved deal.

[Indio]

Montreal Canadians trade Christobal Huet to Washington for 2nd round pick in 2009 and some goalie from the minors (Hamilton)

[Indio]

Tuomo Ruutu from Chicago to Carolina for Andrew Ladd (there goes the Emery rumor)

[Colby]

Nikolai Khabibulin to the Senators for Ray Emery has at least been discussed according to TSN

[sillywilly]

CHI would be crazy to make that deal!!! They have a wicked young team and don't need emery coming in and messing all that up

[sillywilly]

nothing crazy yet... I just need to know where hosa ends up. Where he goes, the cup will not!!!

[rezadue]

That is a ballsy move putting the whole thing in Price's hands....

I think they just threw away any chance at the cup unless they have another trade in the works.

[Indio]

Martin Lapointe from Chicago to Ottawa for a 6th round draft pick.

[rezadue]

Wow. Good move.

Martin Lapointe from Chicago to Ottawa for a 6th round draft pick.

[Indio]

Adam Foote from Columbus to Colorado for a conditional 1st round draft pick in either 2008 or 2009 depending on if the Aves make the playoffs.

[rezadue]

Gainey is a very smart hockey man. I wonder what is up his sleeve!!

I have to disagree. I think Price has consistently proved this year that he's up to the challenge. I would rather have him in there than Huet any day. He's also the type of guy who needs lots of playing time to excel. I love the fact that they got rid of Huet, BUT, they should have gotten more for him, especially given the shortage of quality goalies. They could have gotten more.

I totally agree BUT I think Gainey got what he could for Huet. In other word, Huet was worth more but nobody was buying resulting in a lower price at the deadline. I think his error was that he got rid of him too late. Gainey is one of the best GMs in the league. It’s easy to criticise when we don’t know the facts.

Price was solid yesterday.

That one is weird. Why would Colorado give up a first rounder, they're not playing for the cup this year.

I think they believe that with the recent moves, they think they can make a run at it.

[Colby]

Also they were short a good quality defenceman.

[Hacker]

Watch out for the aves, Sakic is back as is Forsberg, Stazny, Foote all the need now for for Patrick Roy to come out of retirement and the cup will be theirs

[Indio]

Sergei Fedorov from Columbus to Washington for Ted Ruth.

[Hacker]

WTF is up with Washington??

[Golfer_Gofer]

They just have to catch Carolina and they finish in 3rd place... they're making a run for it now

[Indio]

Matt Cooke from Vancouver to Washington for Matt Pettinger

[Indio]

Hal Gill from Toronto to Pittsburgh for 2nd and 5th round draft choices
