It wasn’t the deadline yesterday, but your phone may have blow up with trade alerts from the NHL.

Just in case you missed what went down:

Nashville Predators traded (d) Seth Jones to the Columbus Blue Jackets for (f) Ryan Johansen – both promising young players, first round 4th overall picks. This is a good ol fashioned hockey trade, which looks like it could benefit both teams.

La Kings traded prospect Jordan Weal and a 3rd rd pick to the Flyers for (f) Vincent Lecavalier and (d) Luke Schenn … we all know what happened the last time LA got players from Philly (they won the cup) this will be Vinny’s last shot at winning the cup, again.

and maybe the biggest surprise of the day was in Washington… the Capitals signed long troubled (f) Mike Richards. He was bought out in LA after facing drug possession charges, and was sent down long before that for his play, which wasn’t quite up to par. He’s a gamer tho, and the first place Caps have their eyes on that prize.
