- 3:50PM: Nashville acquires Jan Hlavic from Tampa Bay in exchange for a 7th Round pick.
- 3:45PM: Seems like there are no other major deals coming. TSN reports Montreal is not announcing any other deals today, which means many Habs fans will be placed on "24 hour suicide watch"... If Forsberg has anything left in the tank (sat out so far this season), then Colorado will not only make the playoffs, but become a big contender in a crowded Western Conference... surprised Calgary didn't make any moves...
- 3:31PM: Anaheim acquires J.S. Aubin from Los Angeles in exchange for a draft pick.
- 3:27PM: Winners right now: Colorado, Dallas, Pittsburgh, San Jose, and Washington. Avs added blue line depth plus signing Forsberg helps until Sakic is back; love the Stars adding Richards, nice deal by Brett Hull; Pens show they're going for it this year getting Hossa; Sharks power play will be even more dangerous with Campbell on the blue line; Caps, 5 points out of a playoff spot and the Southeast Division lead, make bold moves getting Fedorov, Huet, and Cooke.
- 3:26PM: Losers right now: Columbus, Montreal, and Toronto. Columbus is only 5 points out of the playoffs right now but have traded away Fedorov and Foote; Montreal, right now a playoff team, trades a known commodity in Huet and have no proven guy between the pipes, and also fails to get Marian Hossa; Toronto couldn't convince Sundin to waive 'no trade' and followed that up by NOT dealing Jason Blake or other big name players.

- 3:10PM: Minnesota acquires Chris Simon from NY Islanders in exchange for a draft choice
- 3:08PM: Surprised that Detroit hasn't made a deal for a defenseman, considering that both Rafalski and Lidstrom are on the injured list and Osgood isn't playing as well as earlier in the season.
