After a long wait, Edmonton finally moved one of their top players.
Only making a minor deal earlier in the day (Cody Wild to Boston for Matt Marquardt), Edmonton was expected to make a fire-sale on the deadline. The Oilers rank last in the entire league with a dismal 19-38-6 record, recording only 44 points. Names like Dustin Penner, Sheldon Souray and Andrew Cogliano were all being discussed today, but only one player is on his way out.

Anaheim just can't seem to stop shuffling their goaltenders.
After shipping away J.S. Giguere and Justin Pogge in the past month, they have also sent recently-acquired Vesa Toskala packing. After being acquired in the Giguere deal on January 31, Toskala did not play in a single game for the Ducks. His 3.66 GAA and .870 save percentage with Toronto is an unimpressive stat on this season.

The Falcons may have been the start of his love for the sport, but the Anaheim Ducks are what really seemed to keep Doug's interest. Living in Los Angeles, the Kings never seemed to entice Stolhand. The Ducks moved in to town in 1993 (then as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim), and Stolhand was drawn in almost instantly.

as still tops in the league as Pittsburgh skated around with the Stanley Cup.
The Anaheim Ducks then raised some eyebrows Monday when they acquired 23-year old goaltender Justin Pogge from Toronto with a conditional draft pick. Pogge has not been the hottest goalie in the league, but is still regarded as a high prospect. The Maple Leafs simply did not have any room left for Pogge to develop. Starter Vesa Toskala will be expected to get most of the playing time while recently-signed Swedish prospect goaltender Jonas Gustavsson will most likely be inheriting the back-up role.

5th. He even had a few harsh words about not being re-signed for his former GM Bob Murray and Anaheim Ducks management.
“Yeah, I am a little bit disappointed by them,” Beauchemin said on a media conference call, “Obviously, I had four great years there. When you play in a place for four years and win a Stanley Cup, it’s always tough to leave, but at the same time, when they don’t want you, it’s time to move on.”

As expected, the Ducks have brought back their captain.
Scott Niedermayer, the man who made up his mind to return to the Ducks just before the NHL Draft on Friday, has signed a 1-year deal reportedly worth $6 million. The Ducks traded star defenseman Chris Pronger on draft day, knowing that Niedermayer wanted to return to his team.
