Are the Kings better with their two additions than they would have been had they not added Fredrik Modin and Jeff Halpern at the trade deadline?
One factor to think about is that the team internally and the GM as well expressed interest in leaving the core, and the chemistry it [...]
Going into the March 3rd trade deadline, most observers expected little action on the part of the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs are still in contention for a playoff spot/division title, so they weren’t looking to be “sellers” as teams with no post-season hope often are.
And they are not in the position of a Stanley Cup [...]
Prior to the 2010 Olympic games, the New Jersey Devils became the lucky recipients of Russian sniper Ilya Kovalchuk in a major trade with the Atlanta Thrashers. Once the NHL season resumed at the beginning of this week, most speculated that there wasn’t going to be too much on the market due to heavily contested [...]
After they shipped out Dion Phaneuf and Olli Jokinen in two of the marquee trades this season, the Flames bartered with four other clubs at Wednesday’s trade deadline in markedly less significant deals.
In an historic deal that marked the first ever trade between Alberta rivals Calgary and Edmonton, the Oilers sent Steve Staios to the [...]

For the third season in a row, General Manager Ray Shero has been aggressive at the trade deadline and put the Pittsburgh Penguins in position to contend for a Stanley Cup. On the evening before the deadline, Pittsburgh traded prospect Luca Caputi along with defenseman Martin Skoula to Toronto for forward Alexei Ponikarovsky.
Weeks ago in [...]
To kick off what should be an interesting 48 hours leading up to Wednesday’s trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Jordan Leopold from the Florida Panthers for a 2nd round pick in 2010.
This morning, Karl Selvig, Florida Panthers correspondent here at The Hockey Writers, indicated that the Leopold trade was potentially the first of [...]
The Florida Panthers organization made headlines before the Olympic break when a letter from co-owners Cliff Viner and Stu Siegel to season ticket holders called out the team and promised big changes.
