Last night Oiler's center Sam Gagner had a night he won't forget. He had 8 points, 4 goals and 4 assists. His 8 points in one game is tied with the Oiler's record of points in a game. He ties the great Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey.

Jagr + USA. Need I say more?
The Minnesota Wild have traded W Casey Wellman and a 2012 7th Round Pick to the New York Rangers in exchange for C Erik Christensen.
Analysis:
Casey Wellman is a good winger that has good hands. He excels at the AHL level but after multiple stints in the NHL, he hasn't been able to excel there.
Erik Christensen is a third line center. He's amazing on shootout goals but has been bouncing around the AHL and the NHL.

Trades
Trade 1:
Washington Capitals have traded W Matthew Ford to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for D Kevin Marshall
Marshall is a good stay at home defenseman that reminds me of a Dion Phaneuf type player. Not as good ,but has a strong shot with good checking technique. Good third defensive pair in the future.
Ford is a proven goal scorer that loves having the puck. He needs to be able to get in to open space and work a bit harder on his skating. Good third line for the future.
Trade 2:
Washington Capitals have traded D Danny Richmond to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Mike Carman.
Danny Richmond is a player I actually like a lot. Small player, but is very tough. Drafted in the second round, he plays very smartly. However, needs time to build up muscle due to his size. If he plays up to potential I think he could quarterback the powerplay easily.
Mike Carman is a former defenseman turned center. Is amazing on faceoffs but doesn't have the creativity needed for most offensive players. Reminds me a lot of David Steckel and his faceoff ability.
