Coming fast and furious now.
New York has sent forward Pascal Dupuis to the Atlanta Thrashers. This is a good pickup for the Thrashers. Dupuis is a fast winger, who’s played just six games with the Rangers after their trade with Minnesota earlier this year. He does have just 14 points this season, but he flies down the wing and should be a good fit with the Thrashers. The Rangers have acquired a prospect to be named.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have once again picked up a former Leaf at the deadline. This year, it’s Yanic Perrault. Perrault is the best faceoff man in the league, and by miles. He is also seen as a great dressing room leader, and he’ll be a nice fit for the Maple Leafs. Going the other way, Phoenix gets a second-round pick and defenseman Brendan Bell.
And the third deal that came along all at once has Dainius Zubrus moving from Washington to Buffalo. Zubrus is a fleet-footed winger with good offensive instincts. Going the other way, the Capitals picked up a first-round pick and highly-touted prospect Jiri Novotny. A great trade for Washington, and a warm body in the lineup for Buffalo while they try to limp into the playoffs.
