NHL Draft day is always quite busy with regards to trades, and today didn’t disappoint. Not surprisingly, the Tampa Bay Lightning drafted Steve Stamkos as their first draft pick, but it’s possible that was overshadowed by the Florida Panthers trading Olli Jokinen to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Nick Boynton (D), Keith Ballard (D) and a 2nd round draft pick (49th overall).
Philadelphia Flyers have traded R.J. Umberger (and their 4th round pick) to the Columbus Blue Jackets for their first round (19th overall) and 3rd round (67th overall).
Calgary has acqured Mike Cammalleri from the L.A. Kings in a 3-way deal that also saw Alex Tanguay going to the Montreal Canadiens. The Flames gave up their 1st round (17th overall) pick to LA.
The Kings gave their 17th and 28th picks in the 1st round to the Anaheim Ducks for their 12th pick.
Ottawa have placed Ray Emery on waivers, the first step towards a buyout.
The Canadiens have been given the OK from the Maple Leafs to “talk” to Mats Sundin.
