Couple deals to kick start deadline day.

Bruins get Brett Connolly from Tampa for two 2nd round picks (Bruins '15 and '16 spots).

Tampa gets Braydon Coburn from Philly for a 1st, 3rd and Radko Gudas.

Leopold listed as possibly moving today. Minnesota and Washington the destinations. Is MN just trying to collect local players?

No. They need an experienced left shot defensemen and Leopold fits that bill. If the price is right they'll get him, if not then no.

We have a trade

NJ Sends D Martin Zidlicky to the Detroit Red Wings for a 2016 3rd round pick

Hammer?
 
Re: NHL 2015 - Trouble Bruin! Ranger Leaf jumped the King Shark! Just Ducky!

Wings get Zidlicky for a conditional 2016 3rd rounder (Becomes a 2nd if DET reaches the finals).

No Princess Dion. Another pretty low cost deal, I'm content with these 2 moves.

I agree with HP1015. I'm good over here.

Kenny says Detroit is done making deals. We got a RH defenseman, and a big body forward for 2 Meh prospects, a 2nd rounder, a conditional 3rd, and also a conditional 5th (Zidlicky deal- if wings make ECF. As noted earlier, the 2016 3rd becomes a 2nd if they make SCF, and then the 5th comes back to Detroit).

All told, I believe that's a successful deadline day for Detroit. Didn't overspend and got small upgrades.

Neuvirth to NYI for Chad Johnson and a pick I think.

If we didn't give up XO, Marchenko, or Sproul, I guess this isn't terrible for now. Cole was, surprisingly, a plus player on that crappy Dallas team.
Jim Nill must have owed Kenny a prior debt, because Detroit outright stole Cole from Dallas. What they sent to Dallas in return was a kid who gave up the Griffins a few years ago to go play in Sweden and a kid that Grand Rapids has given up on.

Leopold to Minnesota.

Woot.
Let's hope he does not come down with Vanekitis.

(For Falk and a 5th (round draft pick)

SLT acquires Jokinen from TOR for a late pick.

Vanek has been fine. Has he scored as much as we'd like? No. But, he's fine. Leopold is added for depth. I don't see him playing much unless one of the top 4 is down. But, he gets to come home and he's there if needed and he's a left shot. It makes perfect sense.

Chris Stewart from Buffalo to the Wild for a 2017 2nd round pick.
 
Re: NHL 2015 - Trouble Bruin! Ranger Leaf jumped the King Shark! Just Ducky!

The Zidlicky move works for me. Very glad they did not bite on whatever price Toronto asked for Phaneuf.

We're still stuck with him. :( ;)

And here's why

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/...antha-red-wings-potential-dion-phaneuf-trade/

According to Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos, the only team Phaneuf – who has a modified no-trade clause – had on his list that was a realistic trade partner with the Maple Leafs was the Red Wings.

However, the Maple Leafs wanted prospect Anthony Mantha as part of a deal, which was too steep a price for the Red Wings.

Giordano done for 4-5 months with a torn biceps tendon. Oooouuuuuch. Now I get why the Flames were selling, though.
