Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello met with the media after not making a deal on deadline day, and shared news about forward Leo Komarov and defenseman Jared Cowen.

Lamoriello said the Maple Leafs never considered trading Komarov, who was an All-Star this season.

"He's a core member of our group," the GM said.

It was speculated that Toronto would try to sell high on Komarov, who has 18 goals and 17 assists, and is signed through 2017-18 at $2.95 million. Komarov remains a Maple Leaf, though.

So does Jared Cowen, but only in name. The defenseman, who was acquired in the Dion Phaneuf trade, will be shut down and have his contract bought out this summer, Lamoriello said.

In the end, in the weeks leading up to Monday's trade deadline, Toronto acquired six draft picks and two intriguing prospects:

The Anaheim Ducks have traded forward Patrick Maroon to the Edmonton Oilers for a prospect and a fourth-round draft pick, according to the Los Angeles Times' Helene Elliott.

Maroon, 28 on April 23, has four goals and nine assists in 56 games. He's a big man at 6-foot-3 and 229 pounds, and the Oilers were open about wanting to add size. Maroon set a career high in points last season, with 34 (nine goals) in 71 games.

The left winger's under contract through 2017-18 at a salary and cap hit of $2 million. He'll be replaced on the Ducks by Jamie McGinn, who Anaheim acquired at the trade deadline from the Buffalo Sabres.

The Jonathan Drouin saga didn't end before the trade deadline, and Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman now says Drouin can return to the NHL club if he wants.

"Jonathan is suspended. If he wants to come back, the door is open," Yzerman told reporters after the 3 p.m. ET deadline passed Monday, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Joe Smith. "That's up to him."

The Lightning had plenty of offers for the 20-year-old forward, but Yzerman said he was better off keeping his options open for the summer, and didn't want to lose him for a rental player.

"I wasn't going to trade (him) for (an unrestricted free agent) that I couldn't or wouldn't want to re-sign," Yzerman said. "That made no sense."

Drouin can still be traded now that the deadline has passed, but he'd be ineligible to participate in the playoffs.

He was suspended indefinitely by the Lightning in January for failing to report to a game for their AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.

The Columbus Blue Jackets signed Boone Jenner to a two-year contract extension Monday, the club announced.

The deal has an average annual value of $2.9 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, and Jenner will be a restricted free agent in the summer of 2018.

Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said the following in a statement:

Boone Jenner is a terrific young player, who works extremely hard at both ends of the ice and is just beginning to scratch the surface of what he can be as a National Hockey League player. He has tremendous character and is an exemplary representative of our club on and off the ice.

Jenner, 22, has a career-high 22 goals and 13 assists in 63 games.

The Anaheim Ducks have reportedly acquired forward Jamie McGinn from the Buffalo Sabres for a conditional third-round draft pick, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

ESPN's Pierre LeBrun notes that the third-round selection will be bumped up to a second-round selection in the event Anaheim advances to the Western Conference Final.

McGinn is the second of two wingers acquired by Ducks on deadline day. Bob Murray spent a sixth-round selection to acquire Brandon Pirri from the Florida Panthers earlier in the afternoon.

The left-shot McGinn has 14 goals and 27 points in what's been one of his best offensive campaigns.

The Toronto Maple Leafs moved out a lot of bodies before the deadline, but not the one most expected.

P.A. Parenteau will remain with the Maple Leafs for the remainder of this season after general manager Lou Lamoriello failed to broker a deal on trade deadline day, according to multiple reports.

The rationale behind keeping Parenteau, an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, is unclear. But the winger has been dealing with a minor injury over the last week, which could have scared away teams previously willing to spend a prospect or pick to acquire his depth-scoring services.

Parenteau has an even 16-goal, 16-assist stat line in 60 games and an increased role under Mike Babcock. His task now, rather than chasing a Stanley Cup, is to help shepherd in William Nylander, Kasperi Kapanen, and the surplus of prospects making the jump to the NHL.

The Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils pulled off a last-minute deal ahead of the trade deadline Monday.

The Canadiens sent forward Devante Smith-Pelly to the Devils in exchange for forward Stefan Matteau.

Matteau, a former first-round pick, has struggled in his brief NHL career, recording just three goals and two assists in 44 games.

The 23-year-old Smith-Pelly recorded six goals and six assists in 46 games in Montreal this season.

Lee Stempniak's been traded at the deadline. Again.

It's the third straight season he's on the move at this point in the year, as the New Jersey Devils dealt the forward to the Boston Bruins on Monday, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. The return is a second-round draft pick in 2017 and a fourth-round pick in 2016, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Stempniak is in the midst of an excellent season, with 16 goals and 25 assists in 63 games. He was the Devils' leading scorer.

There's no word yet on what the Devils will receive in return, but they're set to cash in, after signing Stempniak to a bargain contract late in the offseason. The Bruins actually considered signing Stempniak to a professional tryout contract, eventually deciding against it.

Stempniak turned 33 on Feb. 4, and will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Again.

The New York Islanders have reportedly acquired Shane Prince from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a third-round draft selection, Arthur Staple of Newsday was first to report.

Ottawa will send a seventh-round selection to Brooklyn to complete the deal.

Prince, a restricted free agent at the end of this season, has contributed three goals and 12 assists in 42 games.

The Tampa Bay Lightning stood pat Monday and did not move Jonathan Drouin ahead of the trade deadline, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Although Drouin was not involved in a transaction by the deadline, he is still eligible to be traded before the end of the regular season.

Drouin has been front and center in trade speculation since November, when his agent, Allen Walsh, requested a trade from Tampa Bay.

The highly touted 20-year-old forward has not played a game since being suspended by the Lightning after failing to report to a game with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch on Jan. 20.

He recorded two goals and six assists in 19 games for the Lightning earlier this season.
