In this edition of Shrapnel: Fallout from yesterday's trades, Clitsome back to Syracuse, Brass injured, Crosby's gear, and more!

Puck-rakers:

Now that the dust has settled here's another look at yesterday's deadline moves. A note on Torres, he said he didn't think it was fair to the other players to take the 2 year/$4 million dollar deal. Torres also said the deal wasn't for him. Buffalo really is getting a great locker room guy in the deal. Team first mentality, can't take that for granted.

After a decent first NHL game, Grant Clitsome is on his way back to Syracuse. In return, Columbus is recalling Mike Blunden. I can only ask why Blunden?

Derick Brassard could possibly miss Saturday's game due to a hand injury.

BlueJackets XTRA:

The countdown has begun. 113 days until the draft. The Jackets have 8 guaranteed picks, plus two conditionals.

Aside from the NHLers we traded away, we finally got rid of Alex Picard. In my opinion its about time. He was accomplishing a huge pile of nothing in his days in Columbus Syracuse. Good luck in Phoenix.

Yahoo! Sports:

The "dreaded" trade deadline report card. Awful lot of mediocre grades given out on a less than stellar day of trades.

The Penguins got a steal when they acquired Alex Ponikarovsky from the Maple Leafs. However, they will be without his services until Saturday at the earliest.

NHL.com:

At the end of the day, I think the team that helped themselves the most was the Phoenix Coyotes. 7 deals, a league high, helped them establish depth, and added some offense to their lineup.

Quote of the day:

"I'm disappointed I couldn't stay, it's been good here. It just wouldn't be fair to other players if I took the deal. I just have to sit it out and see what happens. The deal just wasn't for me."

- Raffi Torres. Good luck in Buffalo, we'll miss you.
