NYLANDER DEPARTS FOR FINLAND

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Thursday announced that center Michael Nylander has been reassigned by the Washington Capitals to Jokerit Helsinki of the Finnish Elite League. In 24 games over two stints with the Griffins this season, the 37-year-old Nylander contributed 18 points (2-16—18), 14 penalty minutes and a minus-eight rating.

HOLY SHIT BIG TRADE
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=308469

Two teams in dire need of a shakeup have done just that.

The Calgary Flames have traded defenceman Dion Phaneuf, forward Fredrik Sjostrom, and prospect defenceman Keith Aulie to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Jamal Mayers and defenceman Ian White.

The Maple Leafs and Flames have been working on the components of this blockbuster for a week to ten days, but sources say the details of the deal didn't fall into place until late last night.

"[Phaneuf] is a warrior. He's got a cannon for a shot," explained Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke on Sunday. "He plays the game hard and I want players who play the game hard because they're hard to play against."

Phaneuf has two goals over his last three games and is signed through the 2013-14 season ($6.5 million per). He had 18:49 TOI last night, only the third time this month he's been under 20 minutes in a game. The big defenceman has 10 goals and 12 assists to go with a minus-3 rating over his 55 games.

Sjostrom has played 46 games with one goal and five assists for Calgary this season. Aulie was drafted in the fourth round, 116th overall of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. The six-foot-six defenceman had spent this season with the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL.

Hagman has 20 goals and 13 assists, while Stajan has 16 goals and 25 assists, each over 55 games this season. Both players have a minus-3 rating. Mayers had expressed interest in being traded earlier in January. He had two goals, six assists and 78 penalty minutes over his 44 games with the Maple Leafs this season. White had nine goals, 17 assists and a plus-1 rating over his 56 games.

Burke admitted the loss of Stajan and Hagman would leave a hole in the Maple Leaf attack, but explained acquiring Phaneuf was too good to pass up.

"It takes some offence out of our lineup and that's the next question ... who replaces that offence we lost today, but it puts a major weapon on the blueline and makes us much more difficult to play."

Since he entered the NHL in the 2005-06 season Phaneuf is tops among defenceman with 75 goals (2nd Sheldon Souray - 68), power-play goals with 48 (2nd Zdeno Chara - 41), game-winning goals with 21 (2nd Dan Boyle - 15) and shots at 1,150 (2nd Chara - 992) over that span.

In addition, Phaneuf (48) ranks second to Paul Coffey (50) in power-play goals by a defenceman over the first five seasons of their career and he is tied with Denis Potvin for game winning goals (21) over the same span.

The Flames were mired in its worst slump (0-6-3) since an 11-game losing streak in 1986 before getting on the winning side of the tracks on Saturday night with a 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in the Battle of Alberta.

The Maple Leafs are coming off a dramatic loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday evening, giving up a three-goal first period lead before falling 5-3. With the loss, coupled with Carolina's 4-2 victory over Chicago, Toronto now sits 29th in the NHL standings. The Hurricanes and Leafs are tied in points with 45 but Carolina is ahead because of more wins.

And now Burke is trying to get J.S. Giguere too? What a day!

EDIT: And its done! Giguere acquired for Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake! Crazy shit!!

Jokinen traded to Rangers

Just minutes after playing more than 15 minutes for the Calgary Flames, Olli Jokinen became the newest member of the New York Rangers. Jokinen, 31, along with forward Brandon Prust, were officially traded to the Blueshirts after Calgary's 3-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night in exchange for forwards Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins. Rumors of the trade were first published on Sunday night -- just hours after the Flames completed a seven-player blockbuster that sent defenseman Dion Phaneuf to Tornton. Jokinen has 11 goals and 24 assists in 56 games with the Flames this season. He was acquired by the Flames from Phoenix at last season's trade deadline. Prust, 25, has one goal, four assists and 98 penalty minutes. Higgins was acquired by the Rangers last summer in the deal that sent Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens. He had six goals and eight assists in 55 games. Kotalik signed a three-year deal worth $9 million with New York prior to the start of the season. He had just eight goals and 14 assists in 45 contests.

lulz. the mom from Everybody Hates Chris (Tichina Arnold) was singing the national anthem at the Oilers-Kings game.

FUCK. Another bleeding stops. 11 Straight road losses OVER. LUBO WITH THE SO WINNER!! After 9 ROUNDS

Owner DAryl Katz finally speaks up, he apologized to the fans and admits its gonna be a rebuilding process. I'm loyal as can be with the Oilers so it was refreshing to hear. its gonna be a long and hard journey to get that new arena ... one that looks like Staples Center lol. Check out the interview here: http://www.630ched.com/Channels/Reg/NewsLocal/Story.aspx?ID=1195273

"I want to thank all of our fans, and all of our season ticket holders in particular, for sticking with us through what has been a real difficult year. I know it has been frustrating, but I want to assure everybody that we did not get in this to fail. We got into this to turn the Oilers into elite status in the NHL. We are going to be absolutely relentless in pursuit of that goal."

"This year hasn't been much fun for any of us, but looking at the future, it looks very bright. We are going to do everything in our power to see that we achieve the goals and the objectives that Edmonton Oilers fans and sponsors deserve and have come to expect."
