2:32PM: Still no activity at this time...
2:21PM: So far, the winners today are Pittsburgh, for acquiring Chris Kunitz a few days ago from Anaheim as well as Bill Guerin, and Calgary for acquiring Jordan Leopold and Olli Jokinen, who played the best hockey of his career for his new coach Mike Keenan when they were together in Florida.

2:11PM: The Dominic Moore deal is in limbo, but CBC is reporting that Bill Guerin has been dealt from the NY ISLANDERS to PITTSBURGH in exchange for a 5th Round Draft choice in 2009, and could go as high as a 3rd Round pick if the Pens advance far in the playoffs.
2:05PM: The Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly the team set to acquire Bill Guerin; awaiting confirmation.
