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.

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.

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.

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.

Stefan Elliott
The Avalanche have acquired Brandon Gormley from Arizona in exchange for Stefan Elliott.

Gormley, 23, was the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NHL draft. Last season he had two goals and two assists (four points) in 27 games with the Coyotes. In his time in the AHL he amassed 10 points (3G / 7A) in 23 contests.
