February 27
Flames acquire:
D - David Hale
2007 Pick (5th Round)
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Devils acquire:
2007 Pick (3rd Round)

Jim Kelley: The Devils wanted to get more for David Hale, a good defensive prospect who should develop into a top four defenceman, but they couldn't afford to take a body because of the cap. That's Calgary's gain as it has covered a shortfall on the blueline with Hale and Brad Stuart.
Lightning acquire:
LW - Karl Stewart
2008 Pick (6th Round)
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Blackhawks acquire:
LW - Nikita Alexeev

Jim Kelley: The Lightning wanted more energy in their lineup and they get it in Ward. They traded off a former first-round draft pick but one that hadn't lived up to that promise in Alexeev. He gets a second chance with Chicago.
Kings acquire:
F - Jaroslav Modry
F - Johann Fronssen
2007 Pick (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Stars acquire:
D - Mattias Norstrom
Konstantin Pushkarev
2007 Pick (3rd, 4th Round)

Jim Kelley: If you didn't think the Kings were rebuilding before, trading away their captain clinches it. GM Dean Lombardi gets a player for now, a prospect for soon and draft picks for later. The Stars get veteran help for the playoffs.
Blues acquire:
F - Brad Boyes
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Bruins acquire:
D - Dennis Wideman

Jim Kelley: Boyes had a tough second year but should rebound to be a productive forward with a rebuilding Blues team. That said, Boston gets much needed defensive help. The classic good for both teams deal.
Penguins acquire:
D - Joel Kwiatkowski
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Panthers acquire:
2007 Pick (4th Round)

Islanders acquire:
F - Ryan Smyth
 Trade time: 3:30 pm

Story :: Smyth shocker!
 Oilers acquire:
C - Ryan O'Marra
C - Robert Nilsson
2007 Pick (1st Round)

Jim Kelley: So what has the CBA wrought when the Oilers simply can't afford to sign their best player? A trade based strictly on money.
Sabres acquire:
D - Mikko Lehtonen
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Predators acquire:
2007 Pick (4th Round)

Avalanche acquire:
F - Scott Parker
 Trade time: 4:00 pm
Predators acquire:
2008 Pick (6th Round)

Red Wings acquire:
F - Todd Bertuzzi
 Trade time: 2:20 pm
Blog :: Bert to Motown
Story :: Bertuzzi gets Wings
 Panthers acquire:
Conditional pick, prospect

Jim Kelley: It doesn't matter what the final price was, the Red Wings reacted to losing Keith Tkachuk and Bill Guerin and even Gary Roberts by picking up the promise of a player who may or not be able to play. Risky, not really and if it works, it could be enough.
Capitals acquire:
C - Jiri Novotny
2007 Pick (1st Round)
 Trade time: 2:40 pm
Story :: Zubrus adds C depth
 Sabres acquire:
C - Dainius Zubrus
D - Timo Helbling

Jim Kelley: Add Buffalo to the list of teams overpaying for proven talent. They can afford to, but Novotny is an NHL player and the Sabres were built on draft picks. Good for Washington, but Buffalo is going for the Cup.
Leafs acquire:
C - Yanic Perreault
 Trade time: 2:32 pm
Blog :: Perreault heads back
Story :: Perreault back in blue
 Coyotes acquire:
D - Brendan Bell
2007 Pick (2nd Round)

Jim Kelley: John Ferguson continues to play like Don Waddell. He got a player who can help him make the playoffs, but he traded away a good future. That's a lot when you could have signed Perreault as a free agent at the start of the season.
Rangers acquire:
Prospect to be named
 Trade time: 2:00 pm

 Thrashers acquire:
F - Pascal Dupuis

Jim Kelley: Pascal Dupruis gives some grit and energy to the Thrashers but not much in the finish department. New York gets a prospect back but didn't lose anything in the process.
Avalanche acquire:
G - Michael Wall
 Trade time: 2:16 pm

 Ducks acquire:
F - Brad May

Jim Kelley: Anaheim got Brad May for two reasons: he came cheap and Ducks GM Brian Burke knew he had lost out on Todd Bertuzzi and made a secondary deal to counter San Jose getting Guerin.
Senators acquire:
F - Oleg Saprykin
2007 Pick (7th Round) 		Trade time: 2:13 pm
Blog :: Sens pick up Saprykin
Story :: Sens keen on Saprykin
 Coyotes acquire:
2008 Pick (2nd Round)

Wild acquire:
F - Dominic Moore

Trade time: 1:56 pm

 Pens acquire:
2007 Pick (3rd Round)

Jim Kelley: After picking up Gary Roberts and George Laraque the Pens needed to make some room on the roster. The Wild gets a PK specialist for a pick.
Rangers acquire:
D - Paul Mara

Trade time: 1:39 pm
Blog :: Ward, Mara swap teams
Story :: Mara, Ward swap spots
 Bruins acquire:
D - Aaron Ward

Jim Kelley: Looks like a straight up swap of defencemen, but what really happen is New York sided with Jaromir Jagr in a locker room snit between Jagr and Ward. Mara is good, but it is Boston's gain by far.
Sharks acquire:
F - Bill Guerin

Trade time: 12:09 pm

Story :: Guerin-up for a run!
 Blues acquire:
F - Ville Nieminen
F - Jay Barriball
2007 Pick (1st Round)

2007 Pick (8th Round)

Sabres acquire:
2007 Pick (2nd Round)
 Trade time: 11:15 am
Blog :: Flyers grab Biron
Story :: Biron fights, then traded!
 Flyers acquire:
G - Martin Biron

Jim Kelley: The Sabres needed to get something for Biron, a free-agent next season. Look for the Sabres to wheel the Phily draft pick for some up-front help now.
Panthers acquire:
D- Noah Welch

Trade time: 8:56 pm

Story :: No-trade waived
 Penguins acquire:

Jim Kelley: This is a good accquistion for the Penguins who get leadership, grit and some size up front.

Nick Kypreos: Avery comes in not as a heavyweight, but he has a reputation. You wanna run Jagr? Avery will take a run at a Gomez or an Ovechkin. Right now, the Rangers are desperate for this type of player ...
