Hello folks! For today's intro thought I'd take a look at some of the players that were traded over the past week, to see how they look in their new uniforms, what numbers they're wearing, and all that stuff. Let's get right to it!

Jarome Iginla will always be remembered as a Calgary Flame, but he's been on three (now four) other teams since then, so it doesn't look too weird (to me at least) seeing him as a Los Angeles King. What does look weird to me is him wearing number 88, it will take me a while to get used to that.

Thomas Vanek has been a bit of a nomad lately, as the Florida Panthers are Thomas Vanek's sixth team in just the last four seasons. With the Panthers he returned to his regular number 26, after wearing number 62 in Detroit.

The Washington Capitals made one of the biggest deals at the trade deadline, landing Kevin Shattenkirk from Blues. He kept his number 22 with the Capitals.

As a Canucks fan, seeing Alex Burrows in an Ottawa Senators uniform looks very strange to me. He was always a fan favourite in Vancouver (and hated everywhere else), but it was the right move for the Canucks to trade him and focus on the future.

Martin Hanzal switched from number 11 to 19 with his move to the Wild, since number 11 was already taken on the Wild by Zach Parise.

The Kings were the only team to make a significant move in net at the deadline, adding Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bishop started his first game for the Kings on Tuesday, still wearing his old lightning mask and in number 31 instead of his usual number 30 (number 30 is retired on the Kings for Rogie Vachon).
Of course this list doesn't include everyone that was traded at the deadline, these were just the players that stood out the most to me.
