The Sabres have traded Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to the Blues for Jaroslav Halak, Chris Stewart prospect William Carrier, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a third-round draft pick in 2016.

Ott will likely play on the Blues third line and see significantly less minutes. He has nine goals and 11 assists in 59 games this season.

Steve Ott
The Sabres have traded Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to the Blues for Jaroslav Halak, Chris Stewart prospect William Carrier, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a third-round draft pick in 2016.

Halak, 28, has played 40 games for the Blues, posting a 24-9-4 record with a .917 save percentage and 2.23 goals against average. He has four shutouts this season, tied for second in the NHL, and is best known for leading the Montreal Canadiens to the Eastern Conference finals in 2010.

Jaroslav Halak
The Sabres have traded Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to the Blues for Jaroslav Halak, Chris Stewart prospect William Carrier, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a third-round draft pick in 2016.

The 6-2, 231-pound Stewart has 15 goals and 11 assists in 58 games for the Blues this season after leading St. Louis last year with 18 goals and 36 points. Stewart, 26, was Colorado's first-round pick (18th overall) in 2006. In six NHL seasons, Stewart has 115 goals and 228 points in 377 games.

Chris Stewart
The Sabres have traded Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to the Blues for Jaroslav Halak, Chris Stewart prospect William Carrier, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a third-round draft pick in 2016.

Miller and Ott will join the Blues in Phoenix, where they play Sunday. They were scratched by the Sabres just before the warmup for tonight's game against San Jose in First Niagara Center. Miller is 15-22-3 with a 2.72 GAA and .923 SV% with the Sabres, but receives a huge fantasy boost by going to the Blues.

Ryan Miller
The Blue Jackets have acquired Carter Camper from the Bruins in exchange for Blake Parlett.

Camper has one goal in three career NHL games. In 41 games with Providence (AHL) this season, he has eight goals and 23 assists (31 points) in 41 games.

The Chicago Blackhawks acquired wing Peter Regin and center Pierre-Marc Bouchard from the New York Islanders in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday night.

Bouchard will report to the Rockford IceHogs (AHL), he has four goals and five assists, as well as a minus-9 rating, in 28 games with the Islanders. According to Pierre LeBrun, the Islanders retain 50 percent of the salary/cap hit for both Bouchard and Regin. Bouchard is on a one-year deal worth $2 million for this season.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard
The Chicago Blackhawks acquired wing Peter Regin and center Pierre-Marc Bouchard from the New York Islanders in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday night.

Regin will report to the Blackhawks, he has played in 44 games with the Islanders this season; he has two goals and five assists and is a minus-10. Regin was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the third round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. According to Pierre LeBrun, the Islanders retain 50 percent of the salary/cap hit for both Bouchard and Regin. Regin is on a one-year deal worth $750,000.

The Canucks have acquired Raphael Diaz from the Canadiens for Dale Weise.

The Canucks get a puck moving defenceman who has 11 assists and minus-4 rating in 46 games with the Habs. With Kevin Bieksa and Chris Tanev out, the Canucks were in need of a D-man and they get one at a cheap price.

Raphael Diaz
The Oilers have acquired Mark Fraser from the Maple Leafs in exchange for Cameron Abney and the right to Teemu Hartikainen.

Fraser has been a healthy scratch in Toronto for the last 12 games. After the Maple Leafs traded for Tim Gleason, Fraser became expendable. He was likely a candidate to be placed on waivers once Dave Bolland was healthy, this trade allows them to not have to make a roster move and gives them some extra cap-space. Fraser is a physical D-man who has one assist and a minus-8 rating in 19 games this season.

The Predators have traded Kevin Klein to the Rangers in exchange for Michael Del Zotto.

Klein is a 6-foot-1, 199 lbs. defenseman who is a right handed shot. The Rangers were in need of a right handed defenseman, while the Predators have Shea Weber and Seth Jones who are much better players than Klein. Klein carries a $2.9 million US cap hit and is signed until the 2017-18 season. He has one goal, two assists and 75 hits to go along with his minus-11 rating in 47 games this season.

Kevin Klein
The Rangers have traded Michael Del Zotto to the Predators in exchange for Kevin Klein.

The Rangers had been trying to move Del Zotto for awhile now, but finally pulled the trigger this afternoon. Del Zotto carries a $2.55 million US cap hit but is a pending restricted free agent at the end of the season. Del Zotto has regressed since his 2011-12 season when we saw him total 41 points (10G / 31A) in 77 games. He has developed some bad habits in his own end of the rink which the Predators will attempt to fix. He has 11 points (2G / 9A) with a minus-5 rating in 42 games this season.

Michael Del Zotto
The Oilers have acquired goaltender Ben Scrivens from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a third-round pick.

The Oilers shipped Devan Dubnyk out of town this afternoon and brought in Scrivens to compete with Ilya Bryzgalov for the starting gig. He is 7-5-4 with a 1.97 GAA and .931 SV% this season, but will find it a lot harder to play behind the Oilers than the Kings. However this helps his fantasy value as he could potentially start 25 games the remainder of the season if he can surpass Bryzgalov as the number-1.

Ben Scrivens
The Oilers have acquired Matt Hendricks from the Predators in exchange for Devan Dubnyk.

With Dubnyk's poor play this season, the Oilers did not receive much in return. Hendricks is a bottom-6 forward who has a career-high of 25 points (2010-11). They already have plenty off talent upfront, so Hendricks has been brought in to help their checking line. He is a solid two way forward who has produced 96 hits and 54 penalty minutes this season. Those are the only two fantasy categories that the 32-year-old is going to help you in.
