Deadlines: Gotta Deal with Them...(Part II)

I've caught my breath, and am now ready for part two:

NASHVILLE PREDATORS: Aside from trading Scott Hannan, the only other big deal was trading a minor leaguer (Michael Latta) and a 20-goal scorer in Martin Erat for Fillip Forsberg, who could be a superstar.

NEW JERSEY DEVILS: Big deal was re-acquiring Steve Sullivan, who should be good for veteran leadership and offense while Ilya Kovalchuk recovers from injury.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS: Nothing to see here.

NEW YORK RANGERS: Traded away Marian Gaborik for Derrick Brassard, John Moore, and Derek Dorsett, and picked up Ryane Clowe from San Jose.

OTTAWA SENATORS: Traded Ben Bishop to Tampa Bay for Cory Conacher in a deal that works for both teams.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS: Traded for Steve Mason, likely meaning they will use an amnesty clause on Ilya Bryzgalov after the season.

PHOENIX COYOTES: Traded away Steve Sullivan, Raffi Torres, and Matthew Lombardi.

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS: Brenden Morrow, Jarome Iginla, Douglas Murray, and Jussi Jokinen: in.  Joe Morrow and some lower end prospects and draft picks: out.

ST. LOUIS BLUES: Picked up Jordan Leopold and Jay Bouwmeester, but sent Wade Redden out.

SAN JOSE SHARKS: Picked up Scott Hannan and Raffi Torres for grit.  Lost Douglas Murray (who Hannan essentially replaces) and Ryane Clowe (who has fewer goals than Scott Gomez.  Ouch.)

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING: Gambling on another lightly proven goaltender in Ben Bishop, giving up Cory Conacher in the process.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS: Picked up Ryan O'Byrne from Colorado.

VANCOUVER CANUCKS: Derek Roy from Dallas for Kevin Connauton and a 2nd round pick.  Roy should fill in as the second center while Ryan Kesler recovers from injury.  And Roberto Luongo was not traded.

WASHINGTON CAPITALS: Martin Erat and Michael Latta for Fillip Forsberg: sure to draw vitriol from most Caps fans...if it hasn't already.

WINNIPEG JETS: Did nothing.
