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...

Does St. Louis Want To Head To Broadway...???
((HT: Sportsnet))
Apparently so...
With a wife from Connecticut and a house in Greenwich, he may have asked Lightning GM Steve Yzerman for some movement...
His only requested destination... New York to be with the Rangers...
But the only thing that comes to the HQ's mind is that St. Louis would be the leader of the new round of these guys...
In all reality... it would be an interesting change of address and success...
Chris Simpson, Kyper, and FOSG Jafar discuss...
Trade deadline should be interesting...

Trade Day In The NHL: Luongo Stays And His Contract Sucks
((HT: Sportsnet))
Martin Erat requested a trade out of Nashville and got it...
Jason Pominville was moved out of Buffalo to Minnesota to improve them...
Ben Bishop was moved from Ottawa to Tampa...
Marian Gaborik waived his no-trade to go from the Rangers to Columbus...
And those were the highlights of the day as it picked up steam after lunchtime... but the biggest event was the one that didn't happen. There was a deal in place for bringing in Miikka Kiprusoff to the T-Dot, but he didn't want to leave Calgary. He'll probably retire after this year with one year left on his deal.
There was talk of the Vancouver Canucks taking leave of one of their goaltenders- Roberto Luongo- once and for all. But it never went down... and Luongo, thank those of us who had to sit through the day, for being honest about what didn't happen.
Here's the highlight soundbite from his post-deadline talk...
Let the race begin...

DEVELOPING: Iginla Says Goodbyes Tomorrow in Calgary...??? (UPDATED To Pittsburgh With Good-Byes)
According to TSN's Jermain Franklin, via his Twitter:
Iginla will say his goodbyes in a formal setting tomorrow
After being listed as a healthy scratch in tonight's game versus Colorado, Calgary Flames legend Jarome Iginla left the Saddledomer arena to avoid any kind of circus that could occur in line with an impending trade to Boston for Boston prospect Alexander Khokhlachev (who is a scratch for Providence tonight), Matt Bartkowski, and a #1 pick.
Iginla had played in 441 straight games for the Flames before tonight, the first game he missed in almost six seasons.
David Pagnotta over @TheFourthPeriod is saying that the Bruins could have an announcement after their game with Montreal. But eyewitnesses in Calgary are saying that Flames GM Jay Feaster was seen walking the halls with his head down- looking like someone kicked his dog...
It's reminiscent of when the Boston Bruins traded Ray Bourque to Colorado- trying to get a hero a solid and give him the chance to win a Stanley Cup before his career is through.
((HT: ABC Sports/NHL))
And all hell may have broken loose for the remaining week of the trade deadline...
Then, Bob McKenzie at TSN gives this caveat:
This comes with usual "anything can happen" qualifier but multiple sources saying not to expect a Jarome Iginla trade tonight
AM UPDATE: There was some backdoor chatter that the LA Kings would swoop in at the last, but no one would have expected Ray Shero and the Pittsburgh Penguins to do it after the Brendan Morrow and Doug Murray deals...
Of course, except for Ray Shero and the Pittsburgh Penguins...
Iggy goes to the Pens for college forwards Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski and Pittsburgh’s first-round pick at the 2013 draft.
“We as an organization owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Jarome, not only for what he did for the franchise during his tenure as a player here and as our captain, but also for the fact that now as we recognize that despite our best efforts, and despite the work we’ve put in, we’ve fallen short of the goals we set for ourselves as an organization,” Flames general manager Jay Feaster said in a prepared statement.
Yep, all hell just broke loose...
PM UPDATE: Here's Part 1 of the good-bye press conference...
