Analysis |
 |
Peter Chiarelli |
14 |
Acquiring Dennis Seidenberg and Matt Barkowski for
Byron Bitz, Craig Weller and a 2nd RD Pick. |
Acquiring Brandon Bochenski for Kris Versteeg. |
Chiarelli made all the right moves at last year's
deadline to afford Boston the depth to win a Stanley
Cup Championship. |
 |
Darcy Regier |
11 |
Acquiring Steve Bernier and a 1st Round Pick (Tyler
Ennis) for Brian Campbell and a 7th Round Pick. |
Acquiring Craig Rivet for two 2nd Round Picks. |
Regier has never been afraid to move draft picks for
players he feels may help the team in the playoffs.
Can also comfortably sell assets. |
 |
Jim Rutherford |
16 |
Acquiring Jussi Jokinen for Wade Brookbank, Josef
Melichar, and a 4th RD Pick. |
Aquiring Anson Carter for 5th Round Pick. |
Rutherford has been very smart at the deadline
throughout the years. He has also often opted to
re-sign his players as opposed to selling them for
assets, which we have already seen this year. |
 |
Dale Tallon |
15 |
Acquiring Andrew Ladd for Tuomo Ruutu. |
Acquiring Jake Hauswirth, and a 3rd Round Pick for
Dennis Wideman. |
Tallon put the pieces in place for the Stanley Cup
winning Blackawks. The Panthers are currently
battling for the top spot in the Southeast Division,
and he may try to acquire a rental to put the team
over the top. |
 |
Pierre Gauthier |
3 |
N/A |
N/A |
It's too early to tell what Pierre Gautheir may do.
He has only been at the helm of the Canadiens'
franchise for a season and a half, and only made
minor deadline deals last year. |
 |
Lou Lamoriello |
8 |
Acquiring Ilya Kovalchuk for Johnny Oduya, Niclas
Bergfors, Patrice Cormier, 1st RD Pick, 2nd RD Pick. |
Acquiring a 3rd Round Pick for Jaime Langenbrunner. |
Lou Lamoriello was a seller for the first time in
history last year. He wasn't able to get much for
his veterans, but unloaded cap space. The trade for
Kovalchuk was fantastic for the Devils, who
ultimately gave up no real valuable assets. |
 |
Garth Snow |
9 |
Acquired Al Montoya for 6th Round Pick. |
Acquired Ryan Smyth for Robert Nilsson, Ryan O'Marra
and a 1st RD Pick. |
Snow's only real blockbuster trade was the
acquisition of Smyth, who only played a total of 23
games for them. All eyes will be on PA Parenteau,
who is set to become a free agent. Snow would like
to re-sign him first. |
 |
Glen Sather |
14 |
Acquired Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust for Chris
Higgins and Ales Kotalik. |
Acquired Alex Bourret for Pascal Dupuis and a 3rd
Round Pick. |
Sather has been known for his trade acumen, more so
than his off-season spending. For the first time in
years, the Rangers are in a positional to be serious
buyers as they sit in first place. He has spent past
deadlines trying to unload dead-weight contracts,
but now they have a comfortable amount of cap space. |
 |
Bryan Murray |
11 |
Acquired a 1st and 2nd Round Pick for Mike Fisher. |
Acquired Mike Comrie and Chris Campoli for Dean
McAmmond and SJ's 1st Round Pick. |
Murray will be in a difficult situation this trade
deadline as his team sits on the cusp of a playoff
spot. They have a lot of attractive assets and could
wind up selling again like last season. |
 |
Paul Holmgren |
11 |
Acquired Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent, 1st and 3rd
RD Pick for Peter Forsberg. |
Acquired Daniel Carcillo for Scottie Upshall and 2nd
Round Pick. |
Holmgren has proved in the past that he is not
afraid to shake things up and move assets for depth.
With Pronger out for the year, the Flyers should be
looking to add to their defensive corps. |
 |
Ray Shero |
16 |
Acquired James Neal, and Matt Niskanen for Alex
Goligoski. |
Acquired Georges Laraque for Daniel Carcillo and a
3rd Round Pick. |
Ray Shero hasn't been guy shy about making a big
move at the deadline, with the injuries the team has
faced this year Pittsburgh should look to be buyers
this year at the deadline. |
 |
Steve Yzerman |
2 |
N/A |
N/A |
With only one season of trade deadline experience
under his belt, it's difficult to gauge what Yzerman
may do. He has valuable assets to sell and with the
team struggling they may look to do just that. |
 |
Brian Burke |
17 |
Acquiring Joffery Lupul, Jake Gardiner and a 4th
Round Pick for Francois Beauchemin. |
Acquiring 7th Round Pick for John Mitchell. |
Burke has made quite a few headlines with his
in-season deals. And it says volumes about the GM
when his worst deal was as minor as it was. Toronto
has been battling for a playoff spot all season
long, but don't be surprised if Burke has a few
tricks up his sleeve. |
 |
George McPhee |
15 |
Acquired
Milan Jurcina for 6th Round Pick. |
Acquired
Scott Hannan for Tomas Fleischmann. |
McPhee is usually in a comfortable position come
deadline day, but this year his team is battling for
a spot. In the past, he has acquired depth, but he
may have a valuable selling asset in Alexander Semin. |
 |
Kevin Cheveldayoff |
0 |
N/A |
N/A |
As a rookie GM, Cheveldayoff will have the tough
task of managing a team on the cusp come deadline
day. |
