2008 Trade Deadline Live Coverage
- All times ET - Commentary in Italics
- 4:10PM: 23 trades total today, 43 players, 22 draft picks, 4th most busy trade deadline day in league history
- 4:05PM: No other trades announced in last 15 minutes
- 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.
- 3:24PM: Still feels like one more big deal is out there being processed...
- 3:21PM: Anaheim acquires Marc-Andre Bergeron from NY Islanders in exchange for a 3rd Round Draft pick
- 3:20PM: Phoenix acquires Marcel Hossa and Al Montoya from NY Rangers in exchange for Josh Gratton, David Leneveu and Fred Sjostrom.
- 3:18PM: Florida acquires Chad Kilger from Toronto in exchange for a 3rd Round Draft pick
- 3:15PM: Red Wings deal for a defenseman from the Kings, but not the one we thought would be moving: Rob Blake remains in LA - for now...
- 3:14PM: Detroit acquires Brad Stuart from Los Angeles in exchange for 2008 2nd and 4th round picks.
- 3:12PM: Waiting to see also if Montreal is going to make another deal to acquire a goaltender to replace Huet. If not, it means they are counting on 20-year old Carey Price to carry the load.
- 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.
- 3:06PM: Pittsburgh is going feel like not only are they getting a boost from acquiring Hossa at the deadline, but also getting Crosby back from the injured list.
- 3:00PM: DEADLINE HAS PASSED - awaiting other deals being currently processed by the league
- 2:58PM: Pittsburgh acquires Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis from Atlanta in exchange for Colby Armstrong, Angelo Esposito, Erik Christensen and a 1st Round draft choice. - Huge move by Pittsburgh, putting Hossa with Malkin and Crosby.
- 2:54PM: Pittsburgh acquires Hal Gill from Toronto in exchange for a pair of 2008 draft picks
- 2:53PM: NY Rangers acquires Christan Backman from St. Louis in exchange for a draft pick
- 2:50PM: TSN indicating as many as 6 teams are inquiring about Marian Hossa from Atlanta.
- 2:44PM: Still a lull before the deadline as many of the GM's are on the phones right now. Apparently Buffalo offered Campbell $18 million for 3 years which was rejected, and that's why Campbell was dealt to San Jose. I like Dallas acquiring Richards, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner.
- 2:34PM: So far it seems that both the Capitals and the Avalanche are "buyers" today. Caps get Fedorov and Huet; Avs get Salei and Foote for the blueline, and signed Peter Forsberg to a 1-year deal last night. Heavy rumors right now are that Hossa is going to be dealt to either Pittsburgh or one of the western teams.
- 2:25PM: Players rumored to be moving today include: Bobby Holik, Marian Hossa, and Olli Jokinen. Mats Sundin will not waive his 'no trade' clause and will stay in Toronto.
- 2:13PM: Washington acquires Matt Cooke from Vancouver in exchange for Matt Pettinger
- 2:11PM: Colorado reacquires Adam Foote from Columbus in exchange for a conditional draft pick
- 2:06PM: Ottawa acquires Martin Lapointe from Chicago in exchange for future considerations
- 2:05PM: Less than 1 hour until the deadline
- 1:56PM: Florida acquires Karlis Skrastins from Colorado in exchange for Ruslan Salei
- 1:52PM: Washington acquires Sergei Fedorov from Columbus in exchange for Ted Ruth
- 1:45PM: Dallas acquires Brad Richards, Johan Holmqvist and a 2009 4th round pick from Tampa Bay in exchange for Jussi Jokinen, Jeff Halpern, and Mike Smith

- 1:37PM: Carolina acquires Tuomo Ruutu from Chicago in exchange for Andrew Ladd.
