The Stars have acquired Jhonas Enroth from the Sabres for Anders Lindback and a conditional 3rd round pick.

Enroth, 26, is a pending unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He has gone 13-21-2 with a 3.27 GAA and .903 SV% with the Sabres this season. His addition gives the Stars a little more stability in goal, but he is likely to serve as Kari Lehtonen’s backup until he is able to start outplaying him.

Jhonas Enroth
The Sabres have traded Brendan Lemieux, Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers, Joel Armia and a 1st round pick to the Jets for Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf.

Lemieux, 18, was a second-round pick (31st overall) of the Sabres in last summer’s draft. The son of former NHLer Claude Lemieux, Brendan is a gritty forward who can put the puck in the net. He has 35 goals and 15 assists (50 points) in 46 games with the Barrie Colts (OHL) this season.

Brendan Lemieux
The Sabres have traded Joel Armia, Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick to the Jets for Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf.

Armia, 21, was the 16th overall pick in the 2011 draft. The 6-foot-3, 187 lbs. forward has great size and great skill. He had registered 10 goals and 15 assists (25 points) in 33 games so far in his second season with Rochester (AHL). There is no word whether he will report to St. John’s (AHL) or Winnipeg.

Joel Armia
The Sabres have traded Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick to the Jets for Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf.

Stafford, who is a pending UFA at the end of the season, had nine goals, 15 assists (24 points) and a minus-18 rating in 50 games with the Sabres this season. He is a one-time 30-goal scorer and will likely fill Evander Kane’s role on the Jets’ third line.

Drew Stafford
The Sabres have traded Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick to the Jets for Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf.

Myers, 25, was the 12th overall pick in the 2008 draft. He has seemingly regressed at the same rate as his team in each of his first five and a half seasons in the NHL. He was asked to do a lot on a bad team and the move to Winnipeg should definitely help him. He is in the third year of a seven year deal and his fantasy value is now much higher than it was when he woke up this morning. This is a defenseman who had 48 points (11G / 37A) in his rookie season.

Tyler Myers
The Jets have reportedly traded Zach Bogosian, Evander Kane, and Jason Kasdorf to the Sabres for Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick.

Bogosian, 24, was the third overall pick in 2008, but has had a hard time staying healthy early in his career. Bogosian has mixed 15 games this season and a total of 74 games (27.6% of games) since 2011-12. Injuries have slowed down his development, but the young blue liner has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 41 games this season. A change of scenery should help Bogosian, especially because he should play a massive role in Buffalo.

Zach Bogosian
The Jets have reportedly traded Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf to the Sabres for Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick.

Kane, 23, is out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier in the week. He is in the third year of a six-year deal with a $5.25M cap-hit. He is a dynamic, goal-scoring winger who will be a nice piece for the Sabres as they continue their rebuild. Kane has 109 goals and 113 assists (222 points) in 361 games in his first six seasons in the NHL. He makes for a nice keeper option, because you could see him on the wing with Connor McDavid next season.

Evander Kane
The San Jose Sharks have acquired Evgeni Nabokov from Tampa Bay for future considerations.

Originally drafted by San Jose in the ninth round (219th overall) of the 1994 NHL Draft, the 39-year old Nabokov holds nearly every San Jose Sharks franchise goaltending record, including: games played (563), wins (154) and shutouts (50). Nabokov will make an announcement regarding the future of his hockey career on Wednesday, he is expected to retire as a Shark.

Evgeni Nabokov
The Maple Leafs traded Carter Ashton and David Broll to the Lightning in exchange for a conditional 2016 7th round pick on Friday.

Ashton, 23, has eight points (4G / 4A) in 12 games with the Toronto Marlies this season. He will need to either re-sign or play 15 games with the Lightning next season for the Maple Leafs to get the seventh round pick. This deal opens up some salary flexibility for the Maple Leafs more than anything.

Carter Ashton
The Blackhawks acquired Gustav Forsling from the Canucks for Adam Clendening.

Forsling, 18, was the Canucks fifth round pick (126th overall) in 2014. The Blackhawks did not have room for Clendening, who deserved to be in the NHL, so they moved him for a younger prospect, who they will let develop for the next few years. Forsling has three goals and two assists in 35 games with Linkopings HC in Sweden.

Gustav Forsling
The Canucks acquired Adam Clendening from the Blackhawks for Gustav Forsling.

Clendening, 22, is a solid puck-moving defenseman who has had a hard time cracking the roster in Chicago. He has registered 13 points (1G / 12A) in 38 games with Rockford (AHL) this season and his move to Vancouver immediately makes him their top D prospect. You could see him swap places with Frank Corrado and be playing with the Canucks right away.

Adam Clendening
The Penguins have traded Marcel Goc to the Blues for Maxim Lapierre.

Goc, 31, has two goals and four assists in 43 games with the Penguins this season. He averaged 12:26 TOI per game this season, with 3:00 coming on the penalty kill. He is a strong PK guy and is great on the dot--Goc led the Penguins and is 25th in the NHL winning 54% of his face-offs.

Marcel Goc
The Blues have traded Maxim Lapierre to the Penguins for Marcel Goc.

Lapierre had two goals and seven assists in 45 games with the Blues. He has averaged just over 10 minutes TOI per game this season, with 1:45 of that coming on the penalty kill. He is a strong face-off man, winning 54.9% of his draws this season.

Maxim Lapierre
The Wild have acquired Devan Dubnyk from the Coyotes for a 2015 third-round pick.

The Wild are in desperate need of goaltending, so they have shipped a third rounder in this summer’s draft to the Coyotes for Dubnyk who is set to become a UFA. Dubnyk has gone 9-5-2 with a 2.72 GAA and .916 SV% in his first year with the Coyotes. He heads to the Wild, who are 4th in the NHL in shots against per game (27.2) but rank 24th in team GAA (3.02).

Devan Dubnyk
The Panthers traded Drew Shore to the Flames for Corban Knight on Friday.

Shore, 23, was a second round pick (44th overall) in 2009. Shore has recorded nine goals and 21 assists (30 points) in 35 games with San Antonio (AHL) this season. He will report to Adirondack.

Drew Shore
The Flames traded Corban Knight to the Panthers for Drew Shore on Friday night.

Knight, 24, was a fifth round pick (135th overall) in 2009. He has registered eight goals and four assists (12 points) in 22 games with Adirondack. He heads the San Antonio (AHL) where he will play with former University of North Dakota teammate Rocco Grimaldi.

Corban Knight
The Oilers have acquired Rob Klinkhammer and a 2015 first round pick from the Penguins for David Perron.

This is the second time this season that Klinkhammer, 26, has been traded. He had three goals in 19 games with the Coyotes, before being dealt to the Penguins, where he registered one goal and two assists in 10 games.

Rob Klinkhammer
The Penguins have acquired David Perron from the Oilers for a 2015 first round pick and Rob Klinkhammer.

The Penguins have battled injuries all season long, so they have shipped a draft pick to a rebuilding team for a top-6 forward. Perron had a career high-28 goals and 57 points last season, but has just 19 points (5G / 14A) in 38 games this season. His fantasy value is certainly on the rise now that he moves from the 27th ranked offence to the sixth best.

David Perron
The Predators have acquired Mark Arcobello from the Oilers for Derek Roy.

The Predators had placed Roy on waivers on Sunday and sent him to the minors this afternoon. The Oilers did not want to take on another contract, which is why they sent Arcobello to the Predators instead of just claiming Roy on waivers. Arcobello has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 36 games with the Oilers this season.

Mark Arcobello
The Oilers have acquired Derek Roy from the Predators for Mark Arcobello.

Roy, 31, who cleared waivers today, is now heading to the lowly Oilers. The Oilers did not want to add another contract so that is why they passed on him on waivers and then dealt Arcobello for him. Roy makes $400K (per NHLNumbers) more per year than Arcobello, but also has much more experience. He had 10 points (1G / 9A) in 26 games with the Predators.
