GOAL HEADING INTO DEADLINE: Acquire the assets that will get them over the hump in the playoff race, while also possibly moving impending UFAs
WHAT THEY DID
- Signed Chris Phillips to a 2 year contract extension
- Acquired Ales Hemsky from Edmonton for a 3rd rd pick and a 5th round pick
WIN/LOSE/DRAW? Hemsky wasn’t option A and is a rental, but could also help the team down the road. Keeping Phillips was a key on and off the ice. WIN
