The Atlanta Thrashers have traded Kari Lehtonen to the Dallas Stars for defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy and their fourth-round pick in the 2010 draft.
Analysis: A good move for both teams. It seems Atlanta has just about given up on the playoffs this season but is looking after its future as well. Dallas adds a solid starter who is better than Marty Turco at this point in his career. Look for Turco to go to either Washington or Chicago for more than he's worth (probably a player and a draft pick).
Note: This is something I'll be doing with trades I feel are significant to mention or that I think will affect the standings. On Deadline Day, I'll be running a streaming commentary on trades as they happen.
