The Calgary Flames have traded defenseman Jay Bouwmeester to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for defenseman Mark Cundari, goalie Reto Berra and a conditional 1st round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Brochu's take: GM Jay Feaster has got to be awarded the Mike Milbury award for worst GM. He has now traded two top players for very little return.
The Buffalo Sabres have traded defenseman Robyn Regehr to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a 2014 and 2015 2nd round picks.
The San Jose Sharks have traded forward Michal Handzus to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a 4th round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded forward Harry Zolnierczyk to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenseman/forward Jay Rosehill.
The Sabres have traded defenseman Jordan Leopold to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for 2nd round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional 5th.
The Detroit Red Wings have traded defenseman Kent Huskins to the Philadelphia Flyers for a conditional 7th round pick in the 2014 Entry Draft.

Trade deadline wrap-up, Part 1
Here's part 1 of the NHL Trade Deadline wrap-up:
The Calgary Flames have acquired Olli Jokinen and a third-round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft from the the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for forward Matthew Lombardi, forward Brandon Prust and a conditional first round draft pick. The draft pick heading to the Coyotes will either be in the upcoming NHL entry draft or the 2010 draft, at Calgary's option. Brochu's take: The Flames are really making a run for it, and Jokinen should shore up their centre depth. It's a lot to give up for him, but Jokinen does have one more year on his contract.
The Flames also acquired defenseman Jordan Leopold from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for defenseman Lawrence Nycholat, prospect Ryan Wilson and a 2nd round pick in 2009. Brochu's take: With the injury to Mark Giordano, the Flames needed another defenseman. With Leopold in the fold, he should make a strong defensive core even stronger. Again, it's a big price to pay for a pending UFA.
The Flames also traded goalie Kevin Lalande to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a fourth-round draft pick in 2009.
The Ottawa Senators have traded forward Antoine Vermette to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for goalie Pascal Leclaire and a 2nd-round pick in 2009. Brochu's take: This trade has been rumored for a few days now. If Leclaire can regain his form from a year ago, this could become a steal for the Sens. Vermette should help the centre depth on the BJs, but I really don't see him as a top 6 forward.
The Phoenix Coyotes also traded defenseman Derek Morris to the New York Rangers in exchange for defenseman Dmitri Kalinin and forwards Nigel Dawes and Petr Prucha. Brochu's take: Don Maloney's role as ex-assistant GM of the Rangers comes into play again. I think the Coyotes get the better deal, as Dawes and Prucha are good young players, while Kalinin provides veteran depth. Morris has been rumored to multiple teams, but his price has been driven up by the lack of quality defenseman available.

Weekend rumor roundup for Feb 14-15, 2009
Adrian Dater of the Denver Post believes the Colorado Avalanche will make a deal this week involving one or more of defensemen Jordan Leopold, Brett Clark and Ruslan Salei. Dater also shoots down the Ryan Smyth rumors, citing that he has a no trade clause, along with family and contractual issues. Brochu's take: I agree that Smyth is not on the block, but I'm sure some NHL teams have asked about him. As for the three defenseman, it's more than likely that at least one will be traded before the deadline. Source
Pierre LeBrun reports that the Ottawa Senators will definitely trade forward Chris Neil before the trade deadline if he doesn't sign a contract extension.
LeBrun also reports that the Buffalo Sabres have asked to start contract negotiations with forward Tim Connolly. It still remains a possibility that the Sabres could deal Connolly if they don't come to terms before the deadline.
The Carolina Hurricanes are likely to put defenseman Frantisek Kaberle on re-entry waivers in the next 10 days. LeBrun speculates that any team willing to pick up Frantisek might have an inside edge on acquiring Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle, who has expressed an interest in playing with his brother. Brochu's take: A Niedermayer like situation? Source

The latest rumors from the Hotstove
Here are the latest hockey and NHL rumors from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada intermission program, The Hotstove:
Pierre LeBrun reports that the Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks and Philadelphia Flyers are the front-runners in the Jay Bouwmeester sweepstakes. GM Jacques Martin has confirmed that he is talking to teams about possible offers, but is also in serious contract negotiations with Bouwmeester and his agent. LeBrun also reports that Bouwmeester has turned down a contract offer worth $6.5 million a season. Brochu's take: The Panthers are now in a playoff position, so it makes trading Bouwmeester even harder. However, it's crystal clear now that Bouwmeester does not want to re-sign with Florida though.
It was also reported that several Colorado Avalanche players are available, notably defenseman Jordan Leopold, forward Ryan Smyth and forward Ian Laperriere. The Boston Bruins are very interested in Leopold. Brochu's take: Leopold seems to be on top of several GM lists around the league.
The panel also reported the rumor that's being going around the last few days, that Olli Jokinen is not fitting into the Phoenix Coyotes team (on and off the ice) and is on the market. Brochu's take: The rumor continues to be that the Montreal Canadiens are the most active team pursuing Jokinen.
The Hockeycentral panel on Sportnet is speculating that the Edmonton Oilers could pursue 'Yotes defenseman Derek Morris.

NHL and Hockey Rumors for Nov 15, 2008
The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired head coach Barry Melrose. Associate coach Rick Tocchet has been named interim head coach. Brochu's take: The Lightning franchise is a complete joke right now. It looks like Al "The Spaghetti Salesman" Strachan was right after all. I'm looking forward to hearing all the humble pie that Mike Milbury and the media are going to eat once Strachan goes on The Hotstove tomorrow.
Anaheim Ducks CEO Michael Schulman filed paperwork with the National Hockey League earlier today that would grant all teams permission to speak with former GM Brian Burke.

There have been a lot of rumblings and rumors that the Dallas Stars will make some major changes if the team does not improve their play in the next few weeks.
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, there were three Colorado Avalanche scouts at the Ottawa Senators-New York Islanders game. Senators GM Bryan Murray wants Av's defenseman Jordan Leopold and the Avalanche are interested in Antoine Vermette. Brochu's take: The Sens have been looking for a puck moving defenseman for quite some time now. Source
