Still looking for a capable 3rd/4th line center as well as a potential goaltending upgrade. Also Thomas Hickey is available for any teams looking for defensive depth on an expiring contract.

OEL- close to moving, I need a defensive prospect in any deal to fill out my defense. get in your last offers

Stepan- has had some action lately. Looking for the best prospects and picks I can get

Raanta- action has cooled down on him. Can be had for a prospect.

Richardson- can be had as a solid 3C for a prospect.

Paul Byron

Richard Panik

debrinicat's emergence made Panik expendable. Chicago gets an underrated bottom 6 and 1.7m of precious cap space, MTL gets a solid winger

:habs confirm

Byron is an heart and soul player but we had the chance to get a bigger and younger winger who will fill a need in our forward group.

Bob McKenzie : The best forward available at the trade deadline, Max Pacioretty, has been traded to a Western Conference team for what appears to be a big return (package).

@TSNBob_McKenzie: Hearing the Jets and Stars have both given up a large package of prospects and picks in different blockbuster deals.

We could very well be done. I will consider offers for our impending UFAs, but it will take good offers to pry them loose. Leivo/Soshnikov/Rychel could be moved for futures or in an upgrade scenario.

Could also take on salary if compensated.

Tomas Plekanec (50% retained) remains available. We are looking for a 2018 2nd round pick or equivalent prospect.

Still listening on Alex Galchenyuk but chances are at this point that he will still be a Hab after the trade deadline. We would be willing to package him with quality assets, such as DAL 2018 1st, other picks (except our 2018 1st) and some prospects for a young top line center. Not sure there are guys like that in play right now but let me know if you think of something.

I know we gave up A LOT but given what OEL has accomplished on a mostly bad team in Arizona, we think the sky's the limit for him on a playoff team. With OEL, Byfuglien, Gardiner, Myers, and Dillon, we believe we may be among the best defenses in the league now. It seems like we gave up our entire future in this deal, but there's already so much young talent on this team and in the organization that it seemed doable. Rieder will essentially fill Connor's role in the NHL while Richardson will provide helpful depth at center.

Looking to deal Alex Goligoski, Jason Demers, Antti Raanta, and Luke Schenn for young players. I need a young center specifically.

The Montreal Canadiens have traded forward Max Pacioretty to the Dallas Stars for defenseman Miro Heiskanen, forwards Radek Faksa and Antoine Roussel, along with Dallas 2018 first round pick.

It's not every day that you take the decision to trade your team captain, drafted by the organization more than 10 years ago. Max is one of the best left winger in the game and we wish him all the best with the Stars.

To make it happen, Dallas put together an impressive package, We are absolutely thrilled to add an elite young defenseman like Heiskanen to our organization. It is no secret that losing Sergachev hurt our future on defense and we have solved the situation with the acquisition of Heiskanen, especially when you also consider the emergence of Victor Mete and the development of Noah Juulsen. Suddenly, our future looks bright again on defense.

We are also happy to add Faksa who will be given the chance to reach the next level of his potential as a two-way second line center. Roussel will be a good fit in our bottom 6, we really like his game. Of course, another first round pick is a great asset to add.

What a haul for Montreal...

:stars confirm.

Faksa and Roussel will be missed; Roussel was a servicable bottom 6 forward for the team since 2012 (and as an undrafted player, it was a long road to the NHL for him), while Faksa has been one of the team's most promising youngsters since we drafted him in 2012. It's hard to miss Heiskanen, as he hasn't left Europe since being drafted this summer. But he's the centerpiece of the haul for the Habs. We wish all three young men the best in Montreal.

Pacioretty, meanwhile, is a very exciting addition to our already-good forward group. Clearly he wasn't in a situation to win in Montreal at the time and he'll be at the forefront of one in Dallas, playing alongside Tyler Seguin and Alexander Radulov on the first line (we plan to move Jamie Benn to the second line to balance things out; breaks up a lethal scoring line but Pacioretty-Seguin-Radulov should still be one of the NHL's best lines). Overall, tough price to pay but we got an elite player who creates much-needed depth.

-----------

:jets and :stars

Despite both teams making a blockbuster move (which I know I may have overpaid for) I'm still open to offers on pretty much all players besides guys like Laine and Scheifele on the Jets and Seguin and Benn on the Stars.

Shea Weber is the new team captain, Brendan Gallagher and Jonathan Drouin are the assistants.

(and in other news, we are still around for trade talks)

:sabres - Looking to move out UFA's. Kane will go by tomorrow night. Pouliot is on pace for 20+ goals and can come relatively cheap. Johnson is a cheap, veteran backup who has proved to be able to start and steal games in the past.

:ducks - Looking to upgrade any position. Solid team already but might want to upgrade our RD specifically. All picks and prospects OTB to do so.

Jackets confirm.

Tough to trade a young defenseman like Carlsson but with Hutton on board, we feel comfortable making this move to solidify our forward group. We feel with 2 playoff tested vets in Derek and Dubinsky, and our 2 young guys in PLD and Wennberg, we can be a major force come playoff time

I'm also willing to listen to any offers on Ryan Murray. Looking for a futures based package.

Korpisalo is still available as well for the goalie crowd
