Around the Western Conference, a few of the contenders geared up for battle:

- The Anaheim Ducks picked up winger Brad Winchester from St. Louis for a 3rd-round draft pick.
- Chicago acquired offensive defenseman Chris Campoli from Ottawa along with a conditional pick, for forward Ryan Potulny and their 2nd-round pick.
- Columbus got former Predator Scottie Upshall and defenseman Sami Lepisto from Phoenix for Rosislav Klesla and Dane Byers.
- The Calgary Flames picked up winger Fredrik Modin from Atlanta.
- Vancouver landed Chris Higgins for Evan Oberg and a 3rd-round pick.
Out in the Eastern Conference, the moves of note had former Preds captain Jason Arnott going to Washington (which should really bolster the Caps down the middle), and offensive defenseman Bryan McCabe sent to the New York Rangers from Florida.
So how do you think the Predators are positioned for the playoff hunt after today's activity?
