... elsewhere, with the Blackhawks hoping that a change of scenery helps Helgesen as well. Johnny Oduya happy to be back in Blackhawks' fold. By Tracey Myers March 01, 2017 6:55 PM. Johnny Oduya returned to Chicago on Wednesday excited at what he repeatedly called his "second chance." Apparently, the feeling was mutual to some in the city. "Coming into the airport, picking up my bag from the baggage claim there was a little note saying welcome back from the guys working there. Little things like that, it's very special," Oduya said. "As a player you feel very humbled and it's a fun thing.". Oduya met with the media on Wednesday afternoon, about 24 hours after the Blackhawks acquired him from the Dallas Stars for a fourth-round conditional pick in the 2018 NHL draft and Mark Mc Neill. For Oduya, who was part of the 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup championships here, the opportunity to go for another with a very familiar group of friends and teammates is enticing. "It's always tough to leave a situation where we had in Dallas. Tough year, I think for everybody. You feel some of that disappointment," Oduya said of a Stars team that struggled with injuries and consistency this ...

Avalanche, Canadiens Most Active, But Matt Duchene Stays Put

... Even without the big fish, Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin was busy reworking his roster as the franchise attempts to save face and avert a second-half collapse. Below is a roundup of the bigger moves and storylines surrounding the 2017 NHL trade deadline. Sizing up the Canadiens. Montreal received: F Steve Ott (from Detroit), F Dwight King (from Los Angeles), F Andreas Martinsen (from Colorado). Cost: 2018 sixth-round draft pick, 2018 conditional fourth-round draft pick, F Sven Andrighetto. ​Who are the Canadiens? It's possible Bergevin doesn't even know the answer. One of the NHL's best teams in 2016 was among its worst in January and February as the Habs lost their grip on the Atlantic Division. They added a considerable amount of size and sandpaper to the bottom six in Ott, King and Martinsen, and bolstered defensive depth with additions of Jordie Benn and Brandon Davidson pre-deadline day. Montreal is 4-2 since hiring Claude Julien as coach and has re-opened its division lead. Jerome Iginla gets Cup shot with Kings. Los Angeles received: F Jerome Iginla. Colorado received: 2018 conditional fourth-round draft pick. The clock is ticking for Iginla, a future ...

Recapping The Flyers 2017 Nhl Trade Deadline Moves

... ability or play driving ability that Bellemare’s shown. And the big deal of the day: Mark Streit was sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning for forward Valtteri Filppula, their fourth round pick in 2017 and a conditional seventh round pick in 2017. Tampa then flipped Streit to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a fourth. Here’s our take on that. Forward Valtteri Filppula is coming back to Philadelphia. The Flyers also get Tampa’s fourth round pick in 2017 and a conditional seventh round pick in 2017. Frank Seravalli of TSN reports that the Flyers are eating a portion of Streit’s salary, which doesn’t really matter since it’s done in 20 games. Filppula has one year left on his deal at $5 million against the cap, and Tampa has been trying to move him for other cap reasons. We’ll have much more on the deadline going forward today, including a special edition of BSH Radio later tonight. Thanks for reading along with us. More From Broad Street Hockey. ...

Penguins Rumors, News And Analysis

... Jose former first-rounder Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2017. Considering that, and the fact that half the league seems to want Vrbata, this is a prime candidate for an overpay. 11:30 a.m. — The Penguins are reportedly targeting a couple third-pairing defensemen who aren’t very good. . @Real_ESPNLe Brun says on TSN that Michael Del Zotto and Dmitri Kulikov are two guys the Penguins are looking at. — Jason Mackey (@JMackey PG) March 1, 2017. It’d be smarter to play Derrick Pouliot than give up real assets for either of these guys. Late-round picks, fine, why not, but they’ve both regressed — and they’re both also fairly expensive. Kulikov counts $4.33 million against the cap. Probably not worth it for Rutherford. 10:20 a.m — First, regarding Fleury: it remains likely than he’s sticks around. The goalie market, as Lightning GM Steve Yzerman found out, is miserable. The Kings’ decision to move on Ben Bishop was a surprise, and beyond them, there aren’t many teams that make sense as a fit for Fleury. Quick reset: Quiet on Fleury front. Looking less and less likely. Wouldn't mind adding depth on D. Staying "in the mix" as GMJR often says. — ...

"He (Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin) expects me to come in and be the player I have been and that's hard to play against. He knows how I've been throughout my whole career," Ott told the Canadiens website. "He expressed to me that was his interest and what he wanted me to do as a Montreal Canadien.". The Pittsburgh Penguins added some depth to an injury-hit blueline getting Mark Streit from the Tampa Bay Lightning while the Kings, sitting a point outside of a playoff spot, acquired former 50-goal scorer Jarome Iginla from the Colorado Avalanche. It was a winding road to Pittsburgh for Streit who began the day as a member of the ...

Central Division Nhl Trade Deadline Recap

... seem to get everything rolling in the same direction, and parlaying pieces like Duchene and Tyson Barrie into multiple long-term assets could be a tactic used by Joe Sakic when the NHL Draft rolls around this summer. Rating: 2-out-of-5. Dallas Stars. The Stars went into full-on sell mode as the deadline approached, sending Jordie Benn to Montreal, Patrick Eaves to Anaheim, Lauri Korpikoski to Columbus, and Johnny Oduya to Chicago. They got a huge bounty of prospects and picks in those deals, receiving fourth round picks from Montreal and Chicago (the Chicago pick could become a third rounder in 2018), a second round pick from the Ducks that could become a first rounder, and a prospect in Greg Patern from the Canadiens. The Stars have plenty of needs to fill throughout their lineup, but with cornerstone pieces like Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn in place, they have to be hoping that they can shore up their defense, grab a strong goaltender, and make a run at a Central Division title within the next few years. Rating: 4-out-of-5. Minnesota ...

Around The Western Conference

... in exchange for prospect Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2017 that could turn into a first if San Jose wins the Stanley Cup.

Canadiens Improve Size, But Not Scoring, At Nhl Trade Deadline

... you can’t play,” said Bergevin. “Also down the stretch, it’s hard to score. You look at Columbus last night , one of the highest scoring teams in the league. You have to grind it out to score goals down the stretch.”. As the Canadiens prepare to meet the Nashville Predators Thursday at the Bell Centre (7:30 p.m., Sportsnet, RDS, TSN Radio 690), they are on a three-game win streak, which featured some grinding. They beat Toronto and New Jersey on the road and then beat Columbus 1-0. All three games went to overtime. “The game in Toronto, we played a good team that’s young but headed in the right direction,” said Bergevin. “We were flat in Jersey and we’re down two goals and came back right away and then we came home and beat a well-rested team. I feel like it’s coming.”. One reason for that optimism is that Carey Price ...

Best Moments From Canada's Crazy Nhl Trade Deadline Coverage

... used to be, the NHL Trade Deadline is still the biggest spectacle of the year for Canadian sports networks. Both TSN and Sportsnet did their usual thing this year, with wall-to-wall coverage beginning at 8 a.m. and rolling right into the evening. It’s an absolute gauntlet for those involved, especially when there’s not much happening, as was the case this year.
