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
