apparently Vladislav Namestnikov is a nephew of former NHLer Slava Kozlov

I'm happy with the Rangers pick of Jonathan Miller

Hopefully he'll develop into a good young player in the mold of Dubinsky or Callahan

Lightning have acquired Bruno Gervais from the Islanders for future considerations

Simon Gagne will not return to the Tampa Bay Lightning

This is late, but I can't believe Columbus traded Nikita Filatov to Ottawa for a 3rd round pick. This kid was picked 7th 6th overall in 2008 - the same year Stamkos was picked 1st overall. What a way to fall.

Columbus should have never gotten into this mess. Hitchcock never gave him the ice time to perform, and criticized his defensive game constantly.

The question is... how the hell did Ottawa pull this off? 28 other GMs would have given more to take a chance on this kid. Filatov will get a chance to play in Ottawa (likely next year), and I hope he runs with it.

-EDIT-
My bad. Filatov was picked 6th overall, not 7th overall in 2008.

I agree, that's a possible steal right there.

If Filatov pans out, then that's highway robbery by Bryan Murray.

Columbus needs to re-vamp their scouting department. They've had top 10 picks every year for a decade (except for 2009 = picked 21st overall) and almost ALL are busts.

so that's, what, 1 good move Brian Murray has made in 3 years?

It's a good deal for Florida in that it helps them towards just the cap floor at this moment in time, haha.

Forgot to say, trade has been confirmed earlier, Brian Campbell traded to Florida for Rostislav Olesz.
