A lot of guys went on waivers and cleared...
Ottawa's Joe Corvo and Cory Conacher, the Florida Panthers' Scott Gomez and Scot Clemmensen, Maple Leafs left winger Trevor Smith, Wild center Jake Dowell, Oilers winger Corey Potter and Flames defenseman Derek Smith were placed on waivers.
Leafs enforcer Frazer McLaren, Predators goalie Devan Dubnyk, Penguins forward Chuck Kobasew and Oilers defenceman Philip Larsen all went unclaimed after being waived Monday.
Then the fun started today...
Dustin Penner was sent from Anaheim to Washington for a pick and the Ducks picked up Stephane Robidas from Dallas. They also sent goalie Victor Fasth to Edmonton for two picks...
CSN Washington's Jill Sorenson caught up with Penner's high school teammate, Eric Fehr...
The Caps were right up against the cap ceiling- so, as a move to alleviate some of that, they sent Martin Erat and John Mitchell to Phoenix for Rusty Klesla, Chris Brown and a pick...
Ilya Bryzgalov went from Edmonton to Minnesota to be one of the Wild's goaltenders- especially good timing with the announcement that Nick Backstrom is out for the year with an injury...
The Islanders sent Andrew McDonald to Philadelphia for two picks and a player...
But the big move of the day sends Roberto Luongo back to Florida along with Steven Anthony for two players...
Bobby Lu is looking forward to heading back to a place where crowds are non-existent...

Espo Rants On St. Louis Rumors (NSFW)
((HT: NextSportsStar TV))
Bill Watters, FOSG Perry Lefko, Jim Tatti, and Phil Esposito were on the NextSportsStar network and discussed the rumors of Martin St. Louis moving to the Rangers from Tampa...
Let's just say that the Larry Brooks entries in the New York Post about what-could-be a deal didn't go over well...
And, yes, it's quite NSFW...
Remember kids, Trade Deadline Day is Wednesday... and it should be fun...

Ryan Miller Speaks And There's Trade Analysis, Too...
((HT: TSN/MSG))
Buffalo Sabres Ryan Miller and Steve Ott got the opportunity to address their move to St. Louis earlier this evening...
And here's analysis as both teams move forward with Geno Reda et al.
Christian Ehrhoff has submitted a list of teams that he will accept a trade. For anyone who wants to pick up the rest of his contract, it's seven years and the balance of the $40-million that he signed for...

And It Begins: Ryan Miller To St. Louis
Trade Deadline Day is just around the corner... and we now have our first salvo in the run...
Ryan Miller and Jaroslav Halak were straight up dealt to and from Buffalo and St. Louis
The full deal is:
Ryan Miller and captain Steve Ott to St. Louis for Halak, forward Chris Stewart, prospect William Carrier, a 2015 first-round pick and a 2016 third-round pick.
When asked about it yesterday, Miller said: "I'm trying not to be too sentimental.I think everyone in Buffalo kind of knows how I feel about the city. [I've] always enjoyed the people, I've always enjoyed the city."
Sabres General Manager Tim Murray had talked with teams about a deal for Miller. “The route that we’re looking at is to get value for him, to put him in a position to succeed,” Murray said. He went on to call Miller a “good soldier” two days ago when all this was initially discussed...
Ott and Miller are both unrestricted free agents after this season- Ott makes $3.2-million and Miller $6.25-million
Stewart has one more year left on his deal at $4.2-million. Carrier is under an entry-level deal in the minors. Halak is an unrestricted free agent after this season at $4.5-million.
The Sabres now possess 10 picks in the first two rounds of the 2014 and 2015 Drafts.
The larger question for the Sabres is who may be next out the door by Wednesday- Tallinder, Ehrhoff, and Moulson all may be in someone's crosshairs by the time we're done. Murray admits that there are no untouchable players and that this is a complete rebuild.
Murray appeared on Hockey Central to admit that Miller says its time to go...

Prince Fielder For Ian Kinsler...Done...
The Detorit Tigers have, apparently, gotten fed up of waiting on Prince Fielder to produce...
He has been traded to the Texas Rangers for Ian Kinsler...
No word on if any other players have been put in the deal or if it's just straight up with cash thrown in...
Kinsler is under contract through the 2017 season. Fielder's contract still has $168 million remaining and runs through 2020.
To make the math work, the Rangers will receive $30 Million. If this is close to being true, the Rangers would be adding 138 million dollars in salary over seven years (averaging just under $20M) while dealing away 67-million over five years (averaging a little over $13-million).
Fielder’s contract also included a limited ‘no-trade’ provision which gave him the ability to block the trade.
Which could mean...
The Tigers could re-sign pitcher Max Scherzer who is eligible to become a free agent after next season. Miguel Cabrera is expected to move back to first base. Kinsler would take over at second and the team's top prospect Nick Castellanos would take over at third. The team would then presumably be in the market for a left fielder.
The Rangers would then put Jurickson Profar at second and second base alone...
Here's evidence of what the Rangers hope they're getting...

DEVELOPING: Colts Trade For Trent Richardson
((HT: WKYC-TV))
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was hinting through his Twitter feed at something huge on his squad...
And, depending on who you ask, trading for Trent Richardson for a 2014 #1 draft pick is a blockbuster to Irsay...
Jim Donovan thinks the deal is a building block for 2014...
With a bundle of quarterbacks available in the draft next season (Bridgewater, Carr, Manziel, etc.) it's easy to see where the Browns thoughts are- especially with the injury to Brandon Weeden staring them in the face and Brian Hoyer being the starter this week...
Guess what...???
Yep, that's what...
Even if Browns CEO Joe Banner thinks he has to find a way to get the fan's trust back... and this deal was no way to get that idea done...

Gretzky Goes To Tinseltown Plus 25
((HT: Sportsnet))
It will be 25 years this week that Wayne Gretzky was either traded or sold- depending on your perspective from the Edmonton Oilers to the silver-and-black Los Angeles Kings...
Christine Simpson traveled 9,000 miles to put together this must-see story on the principles in the deal...
Who still have their own opinions...
Now, if she could only tell the lunchtime stories that are off the record...
