NY Rangers have traded Erik Christensen and a 7th round pick to the Minnesota Wild for forward Casey Wellman.
Posted by Jeff Gilroy in NHL News on February 3rd, 2012
It appears as though the pick is a conditional 2013 7th Round Pick. Christensen is a UFA this summer, making 925k this season. Christensen was just coming off a 2 week conditioning stint in the AHL and the Rangers needed to move out a forward. NY newspapers were speculating that it would be Wolski, but the Wild stepped in and took Christensen.
Casey Wellman is an undrafted NCAA player, who was signed as a Free Agent in 2010. He has played well and scored in the AHL, but has yet to prove himself in the “L”.
A fringe prospect with an outside shot.

Flyers acquire the rights to Ilya Bryzgalov

- TSN: The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired the rights to Ilya Bryzgalov from the Phoenix Coyotes for Matt Clackson, a 2012 3rd round pick and future considerations.
The Flyers are now able to negotiate with Bryzgalov before he becomes a UFA on July 1st.
“After several discussions with Ilya and his agent, it became very clear to us that we were not in a position to sign Ilya to a long-term contract,” said Coyotes’ general manager Don Maloney in a statement. “We will now focus our efforts on adding another goaltender to our roster for the upcoming season.”
- Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly: Bryzgalov will likely be looking for a minimum of 4 years at around $5 million a season.
“We’re going to give it our best shot,” Holmgren said. “You give up an asset to get in early so we have every intention of trying to get a deal done.”
“We’ll see what we can do,” Holmgren said of signing him. “He’s certainly not an old goaltender. I feel like he has a lot of good years left in him. We’ll see how it goes. When you get into a negotiation like this you are dealing with a salary cap and you try to get a number you can live with.”
The Flyers will need to clear some cap space, they currently only about around $450,000 (before taking into account the ceiling going up).
“Once we know what the salary cap is for next year we’ll have a better idea of what we have to do down the road,” Holmgren said. “We have options.”
Flames trade Tim Erixon to NY Rangers for picks and a prospect
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Trades on June 1st, 2011
The New York Rangers have acquired Tim Erixon and a 5th round draft pick from the Calgary Flames for 2 2011 2nd round draft picks and Roman Horak.
Erixon was a 2009 1st round pick by the Flames. Today was the deadline for 2009 picks to sign an entry level contract or go back into the draft. Once it appeared they weren’t going to be able to sign him, the Flames decided to trade him as they could get more through a trade than through compensation for failing to sign him.
Calgary will receive the 45th and 57th overall picks in this years draft. The Rangers acquired the 57th overall pick from Carolina in the Bobby Sanguinetti trade. Carolina had acquired the pick from Washington in the Joe Corvo trade in 2010.
Blues send Johnson and 1st to Colorado for Stewart, Shattenkirk and a 2nd
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Trades on February 19th, 2011
Andy Strickland of True Hockey: The St. Louis Blues have traded former 1st overall pick Erik Johnson, Jay McClement, and a conditional 1st round pick to the Colorado Avalanche for Chris Stewart, Kevin Shattenkirk, and a conditional 2nd round pick.
“Kevin Shattenkirk has unbelievable vision and passing ability. Has a chance to develop into one of the top offensive D-men in the league. Chris Stewart tells me he already is one of the best offensive defenseman in the NHL. His ability to read plays is similar to what we see from Alex Pietrangelo.”
“For one reason or another Johnson hasn’t progressed the way he or the organization had hoped this season. Johnson had fit in nicely with the St. Louis sports scene and was instantly made a star before he ever put a Blues jersey on. The expectations were through the roof and it became obvious the pressure was mounting. Missing an entire ear with an ACL injury two years ago certainly was tough to overcome.”
Bob McKenzie via twitter: The condition on the 1st round pick that Colorado receives is that if it’s a top 10 in 2011, it will become a 2012 1st round pick. The condition on the 2nd round pick that St. Louis receives is that if the 1st round pick rolls over to the 2012, so does the 2nd round pick.

Ducks acquire Jarkko Ruutu from the Senators for a pick
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Trades on February 17th, 2011
The Anaheim Ducks have acquired Jarkko Ruutu from the Ottawa Senators for a 2011 6th round pick.
Ruutu will give the Ducks 3rd or 4th line some nice sandpaper for their playoff drive.
It doesn’t seem like much of a return for the Senators. If you’re only getting a 6th rounder now, why not wait till closer to deadline day to see if can get more for him?

“The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded defenceman Andrej Meszaros to the Philadelphia Flyers for a second round pick.
Meszaros, 24, had six goals and 11 assists in 81 games with the Lightning last season.”(Source-Tsn)
Steve Yzerman continues to shape the Tampa Bay Lightning into the team he envisions. For a first year GM, Yzerman is showing he isn’t afraid to make moves.
Anders Eriksson Acquired by New York Rangers

“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.
Scott Gomez Trade to Montreal
Posted by Jeff Gilroy in NHL News, NHL Trades on June 30th, 2009
- Two sources are reporting the trade as: Scott Gomez, Tom Pyatt, and Mike Busto (both fringe prospects at best) for F Chris Higgins, D Ryan McDonagh (Montreal’s 1st Round Pick in 2007) and D Pavel Valentenko. Though Higgins star has dimmed (and I’m not a fan), that GM Sather was able to move Gomez for Cap Space and two young defensemen is a revelation. Not to mention, McDonagh now likely becomes NY’s top prospect. It’s a wise move that corrects a rather large mistake Sather made two years ago. I love Gomez as a player, but he is a $3.5mm player with a $7.2mm long term contract. I am starting to believe the Habs fans…that Gainey might not be the right man to rebuild this team.
Pronger to Philadelphia
Chris Pronger has been traded from the Anaheim Ducks to the Philadelphia Flyers (along with Ryan Dingle) for Joffrey Lupul (a solid UFA), Luca Sbisa (a 1st round pick from last year), Two-1st round picks (21st this year and the other depends on the Flyers finish for next year) and a conditional 3rd round pick.
The Ducks had to make cap room with Scott Niedermayer deciding to come back next season. It’s understandable that the Flyers would want a tough, shut-down defenceman to help contain the high-flying divisional rival teams like Pittsburgh and conference rivals like Washington but the price seems pretty steep.
The physical edge Pronger is noted for in the past has resulted in several suspensions (source:ESPN.COM) and in the new NHL, the Nic Lidstrom model is more efficient. There’s no doubt Pronger is an elite d-man but at 35, that’s a lot of future for the Flyers to give up, especially with the trend being to build through the draft these days.
Interestingly, On July 3, 2006, Pronger was traded to the Anaheim Ducks for forward Joffrey Lupul, defensive prospect Ladislav Šmíd, Anaheim’s 2007 first-round draft pick (traded to the Phoenix Coyotes, picked Nick Ross), a conditional first-round draft pick (dependent on the Ducks reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in the next 3 years), and Anaheim’s 2008 second-round draft pick.
