NHL Sees Bevy of Trades on Sunday

NHLObviously NHL GMs weren’t watching the Pro Bowl. Math was never my thing, but, one…two…14 NHL players were traded on Sunday. Here are the trades that went down:

* Toronto picked up Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf, right wing Fredrik Sjostrom and prospect Keith Aulie in exchange for forwards Niklas Hagman, Matt Stajan, Jamal Mayers and defenseman Ian White

About the trade Dion Phaneuf said, "It was definitely a shock, but I'm very excited about going to Toronto and being a Maple Leaf. It's part of the business. It's a cliche, if Wayne Gretzky can get traded anyone can get traded. I was very surprised, but on the other hand I'm very excited to be going to the biggest hockey market in the world."

* Toronto dealt veteran forward Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala in exchange for Stanley Cup winning goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere

* Calgery Flames have reportedly traded forwards Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust for forwards Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins

In other trade news, the General Manager of the Atlanta Thrashers Don Waddell was spotted at the New Jersey Devils vs. Los Angeles Kings game. The Kings are a prime candidate in the race for Ilya Kovalchuk. I suppose Waddell, who would not talk about Ilya, could have been there on vacation or maybe to do some of his own scouting, but more likely he was there looking to spot Ilya’s replacement. Kovalchuk is set to become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
