Saku Koivu- C - Canadiens - OHL |
| Saku Koivu was the face of the franchise for years in Montreal as the team captain. He even led the team to Outlaw Cup in 2007. However his return to the Habs has not been a fairy tale ride that he or management imagined. The Habs playoff chances are bleak and they continue to sputter and fall farther and farther out. In a desperation last ditch move the Canadiens decided to change things up and stripped Willie Mitchell of his "C" and planted it on Saku's chest once again. With 15 games to play lets see if that "C" can lead to a miracle run into the postseason. |

Zach Parise- C/L - Penguins - OHL |
| Zach Parise is back with the Penguins. The talented forward has been plagued by injuries ever since he was dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks for Steven Stamkos on November 24th. Since then he's played 3 games for the Hawks, 3 games with the New Jersey Devils and another 3 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning. That's a total of 9 games in 3 months for Parise after leaving Pittsburgh. Currently nursing a knee-injury, Parise is expected to miss another 7-10 days. It remains to be seen if he will be able to stay healthy with the only club he's spent the bulk of his career with. |

Teemu Selanne- R - Penguins - OHL |

Will anyone match these acquisitions as the trade deadline draws closer? |

Whether that is in the head office or on teh ice only time will tell. |

Todd Bertuzzi- F - Capitals - OHL |
| If you're looking to name the MVP of the Wales Conference leading Washington Capitals at the All Star break look no further than Todd Bertuzzi. While the Caps lead the Conference with 68 points, they have only 22 wins in regulation or overtime. The Penguins, who sit 2nd just one point behind the Caps, have won a league leading 31 games in regulation or overtime. So how can the Capitals have more points? They've feasted on shootouts that's how. The Capitals are 10-2 in the skills competition with Bertuzzi going an incredible 6 for 10. To put Bertuzzi's importance in perspective, the Buffalo Sabres in 10th place have won just one game less than the Capitals in regulation or overtime. |
