Pogge could have counted how many days he lived in Anaheim before being traded again.
After being acquired over the summer from Toronto, Pogge did not even see action with the Ducks before being dealt at the deadline. It was pretty clear that the Ducks would want Pogge for next season to battle for the backup job with prospect Timo Pielmeier after trading J.S. Giguere to Toronto just a few weeks ago. Vesa Toskala was acquired in the trade, but his contract will be up at the end of the season and was unlikely to re-sign with Anaheim. Pogge's .920 save percentage with the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL this season shows how impressive he truly can be.

Erik Cole has been brought back to the only team he has ever really wanted to know.
Cole was traded one year ago today from Carolina for Edmonton's Jani Pitkanen. The trade saw Pitkanen play solid defense for the Hurricanes, but things did not go so well for the Oilers' end of the bargain. Cole registered just 16 goals in 63 games with Edmonton, before being traded back to Carolina for Patrick O'Sullivan as part of a three-way deal with Los Angeles. Cole added two more goals with Carolina in 17 games, but the real story was the resurgence of Canes' captain Eric Staal with Cole on his line.
