The Ducks acquired Jhonas Enroth from the Maple Leafs for a 2018 seventh round pick.

Late Tuesday night, the Ducks acquired Enroth from Toronto to shore up their goaltending depth, particularly at the AHL level, with Dustin Tokarski battling an injury. Enroth has had a very difficult season, going 0-3-1 with a 3.94 GAA and .872 SV% with the Maple Leafs and 2-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .904 SV% with the Marlies.

The Coyotes have acquired Peter Holland from the Maple Leafs for a conditional 2016 sixth round pick.

Holland has been a healthy scratch for the majority of the season, appearing in just eight games with the Maple Leafs and only tallied a single assist. Last season he appeared in a career-high 65 NHL games and has 70 points (30G / 40A) in 203 career NHL games.

The Blues have acquired Reid McNeill from Pittsburgh for Danny Kristo.

McNeill, 24, was a sixth round pick (170th overall) in 2010 and has never appeared in an NHL game. The 6-foot-4, 215 lbs. defenseman has one goal and one assist in 14 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season and will report to Chicago (AHL).

The Senators have acquired Mike Condon from the Penguins for a fifth round draft pick.

Condon was picked up off of waivers from the Canadiens, but only appeared in one game with Penguins—a relief appearance, stopping all seven shots in Nashville. Condon is 21-25-6 with a career .904 SV% in his NHL career. The acquisition of Condon, suggests that Andrew Hammond’s injury is more serious than originally expected.

The Hurricanes have acquired Connor Brickley from the Panthers in exchange for Brody Sutter.

Brickley, 24, was a second round pick (50th overall) in 2010 but has only appeared in 23 NHL games since. Brickley had 27 points (12G / 15A) in 45 games with Portland a season ago.

The Panthers have acquired Brody Sutter from the Hurricanes in exchange for Connor Brickley.

Sutter, 25, was a seventh round pick (193rd overall) in 2011 and has only appeared in 12 career NHL games. He has been a solid AHLer in Charlotte, picking up 33 goals and 44 assists (77 points) over the last three seasons. He should report to Springfield.

The St. Louis Blues have acquired Nail Yakupov from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Zach Pochiro and a conditional 2017 third round pick.

Yakupov, 23, was the first overall pick in 2012 but has never been able to get back on track after a great rookie season. He broke into the NHL with 31 points (17G / 14A) in 48 games during the lockout shortened season, but picked up just 33 goals and 47 assists (80 points) in 204 games over the last three seasons combined. The Blues have depth on the wing, but Yakupov adds a little extra and will likely start in the bottom-6.

The Coyotes acquired Lawson Crouse and Dave Bolland from the Panthers for a conditional third-round pick in 2017 and a conditional second-round pick in 2018.

Crouse, 19, was drafted 11th overall in 2015 and is coming off of a season where he had 62 points (23G / 39A) in 49 games with the Kingston Frontenacs (OHL). Crouse is a big-boy (6’4” / 212 lbs.) who adds even more offensive upside to a youthful Coyotes organization. He will fight for a roster spot in training camp, but could start the year in the AHL.

Lawson Crouse
The Ducks have acquired Jonathan Bernier from the Maple Leafs for a conditional draft pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.

Bernier, 27, was originally acquired from the Kings to be the goalie of the future in Toronto, but that never really panned out. Bernier was 59-68-17 with a 2.80 GAA and .915 SV% in 140 starts and 11 relief appearances with the Maple Leafs over three seasons. This summer the Leafs brought in Frederik Andersen from Anaheim to be their new starter, now Bernier is headed the other way to serve as John Gibson’s backup.

Jonathan Bernier
The Sabres acquired Anders Nilsson from the Blues for a 2017 5th round pick; sign him for one-year, $1million.

Nilsson was 2-0-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .935 SV% in two AHL starts last season, but didn’t have the same success at the NHL level, going 10-13-2 with a 3.12 GAA and .901 SV% with the Blues and Oilers. Nilsson has a career .900 SV% and will likely serve as Robin Lehner’s backup in 2016-17.

The Predators have acquired P.K. Subban from the Canadiens for Shea Weber.

Subban, 27, has become one of the top defensemen in the NHL since being drafted 43rd overall in 2007. He has turned in three straight 50-plus point seasons, but had a career-low six goals and 3.4% shooting percentage. Subban will likely slide onto the Predators’ top pair alongside Roman Josi, forming one of the NHL’s top offensive pairings.
