Probably won't be too crazy today, as a lot of bigger moves have already been made, but there are still some big pieces out there that could be moved:

Brad Richards
Ales Hemsky
John-Michael Liles
Robyn Regehr
Tomas Vokoun
J.S. Giguere

It will be interesting to see who goes where and what teams are the biggest winners as we approach the 3pm deadlines.

I guess Toronto is out of the Liles running: http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/5124/leafs-out-of-john-michael-liles-race

From what I've read, Columbus and Toronto were front runners. Does that leave only the Jackets?

Richards is only waiving his NTC to go to the Rags. And from what was reported earlier last week, they'd have to give up a lot to get him. High price for a rental.

Portzline has said that Liles would waive his NMC to come to Columbus. A 2nd and Russell going back to Colorado would be good.

Good move, Klesla is an injury machine.

Decent get for LA. They wanted to make a move for offense and got a serviceable young guy.

Edmonton rapes LA in that trade. Penner to the Kings for a 1st, 3nd and Teubert. Penner carries a $4.25M contract.

In the long term, yeah, no doubt. Kings wanted to make something happen for the now.

And that's it, I think. What an underwhelming day. None of the big names moved, unless the papers are sitting in the league office waiting for approval.

Sounds like we could still see Arnott head to Washington ... waiting for confirmation.

Edit: Confirmed. Headed to Washington for Dave Steckel.

Finally some payback for the Gretzky heist? :)

I think the line is, "good player when healthy". When has been healthy for a whole season? Maybe RJ can talk his old Philly teammate Upshall into re-signing.

Four of Klesla's eight season had him play more than 70 games. The other four seasons were 47, 51, 34, and 26 games. Plus this year, he has played 45 of a possible 61 games. Will have less than 70 yet again for sure.

I'm excited to see what Upshall can bring to the table. Even if they squeak into the playoffs this year though, the Jackets have to make some exciting moves this offseason to really make a push next year. No more waiting.

EDM got the better end of the deal w/o a doubt.
