Anders Eriksson Acquired by New York Rangers
Posted by Derek in NHL News, NHL Opinion, NHL Trades on March 3rd, 2010
“New York Rangers have acquired defenseman Anders Eriksson from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for goaltender Miika Wiikman and a seventh round selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
The 35-year old Eriksson will report to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League. He has three assists in 12 games with the Coyotes this season.” (Source:TSN)
This is a move that should push the Rangers deep into the playoffs…? In my opinion, they’d be better off with the 7th round pick.

Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Trades on March 3rd, 2010

Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Trades on March 3rd, 2010
The Boston Bruins have sent defenseman Derek Morris to the Phoenix Coyotes for a 2011 4th round pick.
Morris signed a 1 year deal with the Bruins this past off-season, and they didn’t plan on re-signing him. The move frees up some cap space for the Bruins for a possible acquisition later today.
Alexei Ponikarovsky Traded to Pittsburgh
Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Trades on March 2nd, 2010
It is official, the Maple Leafs have traded left winger Alexei Ponikarovsky to the Pittsburgh Penguins for prospect Luca Caputi and the expiring contract of defenseman Martin Skoula.
Ponikarovsky would most likely be lined up with Sidney Crosby. In 61 games this season, Ponikarovsky has 19 goals and 22 assists. In 477 career games, he has 114 goals and 143 assists, for 257 points. He’s a big guy at 6′4″ and 220 pounds, but he’s not a physical player.
Caputi was drafted by the Penguins in the 4th round, 111th overall in 2007. The 6′3″ left winger is from Toronto. In 54 AHL games this season he’s scored 23 goals and added 24 assists, to go along with 61 PIM. In 9 NHL games the last 2 seasons, he’s scored 2 goals and added an assist. He gives the Leafs a potential top 6 forward that has some good size.
Nick Boynton Traded to the Blackhawks
Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Trades on March 2nd, 2010
The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Nick Boynton to the Chicago Blackhawks for future considerations. Boynton was immediately assigned to their AHL club, the Rockford IceHogs.
The 31 year old Boynton will give the the Hawks some added depth. In 42 games with the Ducks, he recorded 7 points and 59 penalty minutes.
Ottawa Senators Acquire Andy Sutton
Posted by Derek in NHL News, NHL Opinion, NHL Trades on March 2nd, 2010
“The Ottawa Senators have acquired defenceman Andy Sutton from the New York Islanders for a second-round draft pick.
The pick is San Jose’s that Ottawa acquired in the Dany Heatley trade.
“It’s an unbelievable opportunity,” Sutton told the Canadian Press. “Being an older player and getting a chance to play on such a great team and have a chance to win the Stanley Cup is a dream come true.” (Source:TSN)
At 6 foot 6 inches tall and 245 lbs, Andy Sutton is a big body and is currently second in the league with 153 blocked shots. He’ll bring some extra toughness to the Senators blueline, and with the playoffs looming, toughness is a commodity that the ‘Sens could definitely use.
Chicago Adds Minor League Depth in Net
Posted by Mark in NHL News, NHL Trades on March 1st, 2010
The Chicago Blackhawks traded for a goalie today, but it will only affect their AHL team. The Hawks acquired Hannu Toivonen and defenseman Danny Richmond from the St. Louis Blues for goalie Joe Fallon.
Toivonen has appeared in 26 AHL games this season, and has a 11-11-3 record, 2.73 GAA and .906 SV%age.
