The Kings have acquired Luke Schenn and Vincent Lecavalier from the Flyers in exchange for Jordan Weal and a 2016 3rd round pick.

Schenn has just five points (2G / 3A) in 29 games with the Flyers this season. The 26-year-old has never been known for his offence, registering a career-high of 22 points in 2010-11 and 2011-12. He should slot in on the Kings’ third pair.

Luke Schenn
The Kings have acquired Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn from the Flyers in exchange for Jordan Weal and a 2016 3rd round pick.

Lecavalier has not appeared in a game since November 12th and has only played in seven games this season, registering a single assist. The Flyers will reportedly retain half of his salary but this deal still opens up some much needed salary space for the Flyers. Lecavalier should slot into a bottom-6 role with the Kings.

The Blackhawks have acquired Richard Panik from the Maple Leafs for Jeremy Morin.

Panik, 24, was a second round pick (52nd overall) in 2009 and has 25 points (9G / 16A) in 33 games with the Marlies this season. Panik has 39 career points (19G / 20A) in 151 NHL games with the Lightning and the Maple Leafs. He will report to Rockford (AHL).

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired Ben Scrivens from the Edmonton Oilers for Zack Kassian.

Scrivens, who was the Oilers starter last year, has gone 2-6-1 with a 3.47 GAA and .893 SV% with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. The Canadiens wanted to get rid of Kassian and are in need of goaltending help with Carey Price still out. Scrivens has registered a career 2.90 GAA and .905 SV% in his four-year NHL career.

Ben Scrivens
The Edmonton Oilers have acquired Zack Kassian from the Montreal Canadiens for Ben Scrivens.

Kassian, 24, has not appeared in a game yet this season because of a suspension that stemmed from a car accident in September. The former first-round pick has 66 points (35G / 31A) in 198 career NHL games with the Sabres and Canucks. He will report to Bakersfield (AHL).

The Blackhawks have acquired Rob Scuderi from the Penguins for Trevor Daley.

Scuderi, 36, was three seasons into his second stint with the Penguins after previously winning a Stanley Cup in 2008-09 during his first run in Pittsburgh from 2003-2009. Scuderi, who has served as a healthy scratch recently, has just four assists in 25 games this season.

Rob Scuderi
The Penguins acquired Trevor Daley from the Blackhawks for Rob Scuderi.

Daley, 32, had six assists but did not score a goal in 29 games with the Blackhawks this season, his first since being traded from the Stars. Daley will help the Penguins with their breakout as well as on their power-play. The Penguins will retain 33 percent of Scuderi’s $3 million salary.

The Kings have traded Brian O’Neill to the Devils in exchange for a 2017 seventh round pick.

O’Neill, 27, nearly made the Kings roster out of training camp, but has been dealt to the Devils, where he is expected to be a part of their 23-man roster. The 5-foot-8, 165 lbs. winger had 22 goals and 58 assists (80 points) in 71 games with Manchester (AHL) last season.

The Islanders have acquired Taylor Beck, Carter Versarghe, Matt Finn, Tom Nilsson and Christopher Gibson from the Maple Leafs in exchange for Michael Grabner.

Beck was acquired from the Predators in mid-July but will not get a chance to play for the Maple Leafs as he heads to Long Island to join a potential playoff contender. Beck had 16 points (8G / 8A) in 62 games last year.

Taylor Beck
The Maple Leafs have acquired Michael Grabner from the Islanders in exchange for Taylor Beck, Carter Versarghe, Matt Finn, Tom Nilsson and Christopher Gibson.

Grabner, 27, was limited to 34 games last season due to a multitude of injuries including sports hernia surgery. In the 34 games he played in, the speedy winger tallied eight goals and five assists (13 points). He had a career-high 34 goals in 2010-11, but since then he has scored just 56 goals in four seasons. This trade helps his fantasy value because he moves from a team with an ultra crowded top-six to a team who is very thin at forward.

Michael Grabner
The Hurricanes have acquired Joakim Nordstrom, Kris Versteeg and a 2017 third-round pick for Dennis Robertson, Jake Massie and a 2017 fifth-round pick.

Nordstrom, 23, had three assists in 38 games with the Blackhawks last year. In 23 contests with the Hawks’ AHL affiliate in Rockford he had 16 points (9G / 7A). He will likely land a bottom six role with his new club.

The Hurricanes have acquired Kris Versteeg, Joakim Nordstrom and a 2017 third-round pick for Dennis Robertson, Jake Massie and a 2017 fifth-round pick.

Versteeg had 14 goals and 20 assists (34 points) in 61 games with the Blackhawks last season. He has amassed 275 career points (116G / 159A) in 473 career NHL games between the Blackhawks, Maple Leafs, Flyers and Panthers. This trade should help Versteeg's fantasy value as he will likely land a top six role in Carolina.

Kris Versteeg
The Coyotes have acquired Stefan Elliott from the Avalanche for Brandon Gormley.

Elliott, 24, was the 49th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. The right handed defensemen had no points in five games with Colorado last year, but registered 19 goals and 21 assists in 64 games with the Avs’ AHL affiliate in Lake Erie.
