NHL Trades

Blandisi was a sixth round pick (No.162 in 2012) but has turned into a quality pro forward since. Blandisi has picked up 26 points (8G / 18A)in 68 career NHL games with the Devils and should immediately report to the Ducks to help their forward depth. Blandisi has recorded three goals and 11 assists (14 points) in 19 games with Binghamton (AHL) this year.

The Ducks are extremely thin at centre with Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler both sidelined with injuries, so adding Henrique will help them down the middle immediately. Henrique is two years removed from 30 goals and 20 assists (50 points) and has registered four goals and 10 assists (14 points) in 24 games this season. He was averaging 18:15 TOI/GM with the Devils and could see even more playing time in Anaheim while Getzlaf and Kesler are out. He is an interesting waiver add as he should see top line minutes alongside Corey Perry and should see plenty of PP time as well.

Jokinen struggled to get on his feet in Edmonton, collecting just one assist in 14 games with the Oilers. Jokinen is a smart player, but played a slow game that didn’t quite fit the Oilers scheme. The Kings play a much more up-tempo style than they have in years past, so it might not be a great fit in L.A. either, but Jokinen brings versatility and playmaking ability to the Kings bottom-6 and has the ability to work his way up the depth chart.

Cammalleri has registered three goals and four assists (seven points) in 15 games with the Kings this season. Jokinen never seemed to be a fit in Edmonton, so they get another veteran forward with offensive instincts. Cammalleri has put up solid numbers, even late in his career, but injuries have been an issue for him. The move should help both the Oilers scoring issues a little bit and gives Cammalleri a small fantasy boost.

Leighton is a veteran netminder who has spent the large majority of his recent years in the AHL. Last year he was excellent as a member of the Hurricanes organization, but has gone 3-3-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .868 SV% in nine starts with Syracuse (AHL).

McGinn, 27, was a fourth round pick way back in 2010, and has appeared in just 89 career NHL games. McGinn was with the Coyotes organization back in 2014-15, but has been with the Lightning for the last three years—he has two goals and three assists (five points) in 11 games this season.

Domingue started the season as the Coyotes’ No.2 netminder but went 0-6-0 with a 4.33 GAA and .856 SV% in seven games and the Coyotes went out and got Scott Wedgewood and sent Domingue to Tucson (AHL). He goes to Tampa Bay, where he will likely start with Syracuse, but could work his way to the NHL if Peter Budaj struggles.

Kamenev, 21, was a second round pick in 2014 (No.42 overall) and started the season with Milwaukee (AHL) where he had eight points (3G / 5A) in nine games. Kamenev is NHL-ready, but the Predators were deep on the wing, so don’t be surprised if he gets a chance with the Avalanche in the near future. He has no points in two career NHL games.

Bowers, 18, was a first round pick (No.28 overall) this summer and is currently in his first season at Boston University, where he has four goals and two assists in 10 games. Bowers is at least a year or two away from making it to the NHL.

Hammond has spent all of 2017-18 in the AHL, where he has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .925 SV% in seven starts with Belleville. He has made 55 career NHL appearances, going 27-14-6 with a 2.32 GAA and .923 SV%. He may stick in the AHL with Semyon Varlamov and Jonathan Bernier already with the Avalanche.

Girard, 19, was a second round pick in 2016 (No.47 overall) and made his NHL debut this season, recording one goal and two assists in five games with the Predators. Girard should step right onto the Avalanche blueline and be an impact offensive-defenseman, but he will have to play well to stick with the team, because his development is more important than their success this season.

Turris was set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the Predators immediately inked him to a six-year deal worth $6.0 million per season. Turris bolsters the Predators down the middle and will serve as their No.2 centre behind Ryan Johansen. He heads to Nashville with three goals and six assists (nine points) in 11 games so far this season.

Duchene was pulled off of the ice in the middle of tonight’s game in Brooklyn and heads to Ottawa, where he will make his Senators debut in Sweden against…Colorado.The 26-year-old has recorded four goals and six assists (10 points) in 13 games so far this season and has a career-high of 30 goals (2016) and 47 assists (2014). He will replace Kyle Turris, who heads to Nashville as a part of this trade.

Tokarski appeared in 27 games with San Diego (AHL) last season, going 17-8-1 with a 2.93 GAA and .898 SV%. The 28-year-old has had limited success in his brief NHL career, going 10-12-5 with a 2.84 GAA and .904 SV% in 34 career games between the Lightning, Canadiens and Ducks.

Lindberg, 22, was originally a fourth round pick of the Senators in 2013 and has only appeared in six NHL games since, collecting two assists. Last season, Lindberg had 16 points (6G / 10A) in 44 AHL games with the Marlies.
