theScore's new series, "The Noise," is published every Monday. It kicks off each week with a quick look at teams or players making headlines, good or bad.
Ryan White
The Minnesota Wild appear to be getting the most out of their newest acquisitions and no, we're not necessarily talking about Martin Hanzal.
Sure Hanzal has three assists in his first four games with the Wild, but it's been Ryan White - the apparent throw-in of the deal - who has come up big for his new team.
In four games, White has chipped in two goals and an assist. It's quite impressive given White has averaged just over eight minutes of ice time per game in those contests.
Factor in that he only contributed seven goals and 13 points in 46 games with the Arizona Coyotes this season and it appears the Wild are getting the best out of the pesky fourth liner.
Alex Burrows
The Ottawa Senators couldn't have asked for a better debut than the one they got from Alex Burrows.
The 35-year-old punched in his first two goals in a Senators uniform in his first game, propelling his new club to a 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
Game 2 Sunday against the Columbus Blue Jackets was a little forgettable, but nevertheless it's a deal that is paying quick dividends for the Senators.
The questionable price to acquire Burrows - prospect Jonathan Dahlen - can be debated, but if Burrows can keep producing now and moderately for the next two seasons all can be forgiven.
Patrick Eaves
At this pace, Patrick Eaves will score another 11 goals in the final month of the season.
Since joining the Anaheim Ducks one week prior to the deadline, the former Dallas Star has found the back of the net twice in three games.
Sure his first was an empty netter against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but that aside, Eaves has fired a combined 12 shots on net and scored the Ducks' lone goal Sunday night against the Vancouver Canucks.
Eaves continues to pad his goal and point totals in what is already a career season, and for a Ducks team who fails to produce much offense, he is certainly contributing in a big way.
Mark Streit
Mark Streit joined the surprisingly high amount of players who scored goals in their first games with their new teams this week.
The newest member of the Pittsburgh Penguins blue line picked up a goal and an assist Friday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning - a team that owned his rights for mere minutes March 1 - and was equally solid in the Penguins' comeback win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.
In all, Streit has been a great addition to the Penguins' rather thin defensive core, quickly averaging 20 minutes of ice time per game.
He might not be a complete game changer, but Streit should be a calming addition to the Penguins as they pursue their second straight Cup.
