2:15 p.m. EST -- Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman trades with his former assistant GM Kevin Cheveldayoff as TSN reports that Johnny Oduya has been traded from the Winnipeg Jets for a second and third round pick in 2013. After picking up Grant Clitsome off waivers earlier, the writing was on the wall for the pending UFA Oduya. With Clitsome having another year on his deal, Oduya quickly became expendable.

Two Milburys here. Giving up two picks for Oduya, who's not of the "missing piece" variety seems to be a big price to pay.

2:00 p.m. EST -- Trades are starting to come in as we hit the final hour until the trade deadline. The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to wheel and deal as they've acquired Brian Lee from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Matt Gilroy. Defensive-minded guy for a former Hobey Baker winner and offensive mind. One Milbury here.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have dealt Sami Pahlsson to the Vancouver Canucks for two fourth-round picks and Daniel Winnik and T.J. Galiardi and a seventh round pick are on the move from Colorado to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Jamie McGinn and prospects Mike Connelly and Michael Sgarbossa, according to Adrian Dater. More on these two in a bit.
