Deadlines: Can't Live with Them, Can't be without Them... (part I)

In the midst of the Kelowna-Seattle series that seems to be going on forever (it will end tonight, mercifully), the NHL had its deadline, and there were some fireworks this year in a season that has most teams still believing in their chances.  So, here's what all 30 teams did (more to come as they become official, so watch this space):

ANAHEIM DUCKS: Nothing of note here, except a trade for Matthew Lombardi (not confirmed by NHL.com yet).

BOSTON BRUINS: Picked up Jaromir Jagr and Wade Redden while maintaining their top prospects.  Losing out on both Brenden Morrow and Jarome Iginla stings, though.

BUFFALO SABRES: Out go Robyn Regehr and Jason Pominville, in comes prospects Johan Larsson and Matt Hackett, as well as some draft picks.

CALGARY FLAMES: Jarome Iginla for lower-end prospects and a first round pick and Jay Bouwmeester for lower-end prospects and a first round pick.  Yeah, the Flames waited too long to start rebuilding, and the Bouwmeester trade was actually better.  Also gone is Blake Comeau.

CAROLINA HURRICANES: Only one trade: Jussi Jokinen to Pittsburgh for a draft pick.

CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS: Added a third line center in Michal Handzus, who will help in the PK.

COLORADO AVALANCHE: Traded away Ryan O'Byrne and swapped prospects with Dallas (Cameron Gaunce for Tomas Vincour).

COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS: All in this time, as they landed Marian Gaborik for underperforming first round picks Derrick Brassard and John Moore, as well as sending Steve Mason to Philadelphia for Michael Leighton and a draft pick and landing Blake Comeau.

DALLAS STARS: Sent Derek Roy to Vancouver for Kevin Connauton and a draft pick, and traded Jaromir Jagr for prospects and a draft pick.  Also traded Brenden Morrow to Pittsburgh for prospect Joe Morrow.

DETROIT RED WINGS: Sent Kent Huskins to Philadelphia for a draft pick.

EDMONTON OILERS: Apart from picking up faceoff specialist Jerred Smithson, the only other moves were a swap of prospects and/or minor leaguers.

FLORIDA PANTHERS: Lone deal was trading Jerred Smithson to Edmonton.

LOS ANGELES KINGS: Robyn Regehr arrives as essentially a replacement for Matt Green and Willie Mitchell.

MINNESOTA WILD: Paid a hefty price to pry Jason Pominville from Buffalo, losing Matt Hackett and Johan Larsson.

MONTREAL CANADIENS: Nothing of note here.
