The Buffalo Sabres have acquired rookie center Cody Hodgson in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for rookie forward Zack Kassian. As part of the deal, the teams also traded defenseman with Buffalo sending Marc-Andre Gragnani to Vancouver in exchange for Alexander Sulzer. The deal was announced by Sabres general manager Darcy Regier on Monday, and reached shortly before the NHL trade deadline. Hodgson was the selected 10th overall in the 2008 draft and is playing his first full NHL season. Kassian is a physical forward, whom the Sabres selected 13th overall in the 2009 draft. In a separate deal, Buffalo traded center Paul Gaustad to Nashville for a first-round draft pick this year. The Predators also acquired Buffalo's fourth-round pick in next year's draft.

Analyzing the other trade: Sami Pahlsson is a Vancouver Canuck

Via Rob The Hockey Guy  |  February 28, 2012
Lost in the Cody Hodgson hoopla was the fact that the Canucks made another trade on trade deadline day, acquiring Sami Pahlsson for a pair of fourth round draft picks and Taylor Ellington. This was a much more predictable trade than the Hodgson trade (in fact, I named him as a possibility yesterday, Eklund’s got nothin’ on me). The acquisition of Pahlsson is a good one, even...

Cody Hodgson: Stunned trade of the day

Via Benched Whale  |  February 28, 2012
Hodgson was never the answer to our 3rd line center question but it still hurts to see him traded away.I've been waffling on whether I like or dislike this trade. Sometimes it's easy to feel one way or the other, but with this one I just don't know. Obviously during the past two seasons I've come to love the little Liev Schreiber look-alike. I've adopted his nickname...

AP By Adam Graham (@adam_graham) On the most overhyped day of the year in the NHL, there were very few deals that raised even fewer eyebrows, except for in Vancouver. This is the home to the one and only deadline deal that shocked the hockey world in 2012.
