Trade deadline wrap-up, Part 4
Part 4:
The Phoenix Coyotes traded goalie Mikael Tellqvist to the the Buffalo Sabres for a 4th round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired defenceman Andy Wozniewski from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for blueliner Danny Richmond.
The New York Islanders traded forward Bill Guerin to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional draft pick. The draft pick that Pittsburgh gives up will start as a fifth-round pick. If Pittsburgh makes the playoffs, it increases to a fourth-rounder. If they get to the second round, it becomes to a third round pick. Brochu's take: Finally! Guerin's saga is finally over today. It would seem that the Capitals had pulled out of the deal early on, and that's why it's dragged on.
Patrick O'Sullivan was originally shipped along with a second round draft pick in 2009 from the Los Angeles Kings to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Justin Williams. Brochu's take: This trade had been rumored late last night.
The ‘Canes then turned around and dealt O'Sullivan and the draft pick they received from the King to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Erik Cole and a 5th round pick in 2009. Brochu's take: Cole never really panned out in Edmonton, as he unable to match his stats from his Carolina days.
The Edmonton Oilers also acquired forward Ales Kotalik from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a 2nd round pick in 2009. Brochu's take: Wait, the Sabres and Oilers made a deal? So much for the frostiness between the two teams since the Thomas Vanek offer sheet affair. Mind you, Kevin Lowe is no longer the Oilers GM.

Williams on waivers
The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed forward Jeremy Williams on waivers.
In an interview with Team 1040 radio in Vancouver, Canucks forward Daniel Sedin confirmed that he was aware of rumors that Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke was interested in signing both the Sedins in the summer. Sedin re-iterated that he would like to stay in Vancouver. Brochu's take: If Burke wants them enough, he can certainly outbid the Canucks. But I believe the Sedins will take a hometown discount to stay together in Vancouver.

Sanford on waivers, Columbus/Atlanta trade
The Vancouver Canucks have placed Curtis Sanford on waivers. Brochu's take: If he clears, the Canucks have promised to trade him to another team. Rumors are that the Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars and New York Islanders are the most interested.
The Atlanta Thrashers have traded forward Jason Williams to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for defenseman Clay Wilson and a sixth round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
The New York Islanders have held talks with free agent goaltender Wade Dubielewicz, who recently was bought out of his contract with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL. Dubielewicz has talked to three NHL teams that are looking for help in the goaltending department. This could indicate that goalie Rick DiPietro's season could be over. Brochu's take: Dubielewicz has to clear waivers before he can play for the Islanders because he has already played this season with Kazan. Source
The New Jersey Devils have officially signed Brendan Shanahan to a one-year, $800,000 contract. He will receive approximately half of that for playing half of the NHL season.
