NHL trade deadline

Marc-Andre Fleury's move to the Minnesota Wild, Claude Giroux's decision to pick the Florida Panthers, and a complete rundown of the news and notes from the ...

It is also available on NHL.com/multimedia/podcasts and the NHL app. Rosen and Roarke agreed that Fleury could be the rare goalie who makes a major impact on his new team after being acquired at the deadline. The Colorado Avalanche, Anaheim Ducks and Seattle Kraken were among the other teams discussed on the near hour-long podcast.

Claude Giroux is off the board. Same goes for Hampus Lindholm. Now add Mark Giordano to the list. Three of the biggest names available heading into Monday's ...

The Flames sit comfortably in first place in the Pacific Division and look primed to make a run this spring. The Panthers, Bruins, Lightning and Leafs all made significant trades in the days leading up to the deadline. Another angle to watch from a Canadiens’ perspective is if they’re able to trade captain Shea Weber’s contract to a team looking to get to the salary cap floor. The 36-year-old defenceman has been on long-term injured reserve all season and is unlikely to resume his playing career. With pending unrestricted free agents Lindholm and Giordano already headed to new teams, Jakob Chychrun of the Arizona Coyotes is another defenceman whose name has made the rounds in rumour mills for months. The Canadian Press takes a look at some of the storylines and players who could be on the move:

Ahhhh, the NHL trade deadline! A day where hockey fans across the league are glued to their TV's, social media or let's be honest, Frank Seravalli's Twitter ...

Do you love the trades or absolutely hate them? He isn't a strong offensive play-driver, as he doesn't generate a lot of rush offence. What a joke of trade. Veteran presence, can insulate Bouchard a bit as well if they end up together. Kulak immediately steps in as 3rd pair left shot guy and could push for more. A day where hockey fans across the league are glued to their TV’s, social media or let’s be honest, Frank Seravalli’s Twitter account as he breaks all the trades of the day.

It was a busy day on March 21, but the trades were rolling in the days leading up to the deadline as well. Justin Bourne shares his thoughts, with two ...

I’m not going to pretend to know about Aidan Hreschuk, but I do know that Domi is exactly the type of guy who can give you some real juice when he’s motivated. The Ducks got a couple decent players back and a good lottery ticket here, but there’s no doubt the Penguins added a guy who can make a difference for them. I appreciate the Jets not wanting to just bail on their season for both their fans and their veteran players. Smart move for the Habs of course, but this might be the Avs version of the (over-discussed?) Coleman and Goodrow deals. The Leafs add a player who changes the complexion of what their healthy D-core looks like, in that they should be able to throw three pairs over the boards and not have to worry about protecting anyone. Tippett will likely play in the league for some years, but I’m not sure the upside is there, and so this feels like it was more a quantity (“we got three things!”) deal than one that has a chance to make them meaningfully better any time soon. I know this one is a little weird (Ottawa is … buying?), but I like it for both sides. Hagel is a great piece and a great fit and they paid the huge price that valuable assets cost to get him. I’ll say the winner in this deal is still the Ducks, as I’m not sure how much Deslauriers will be able to contribute against the post-season level a team like the Avs can reach. But the Flames are among the handful of legitimate Cup hopefuls who had a need and addressed it with the exact player they wanted, so you can’t fault them for going hard at this year’s deadline. The assets they spent may be valuable but when you’re the prohibitive Cup favourite (and they are, betting-wise anyway), you have to borrow from the future to go get yourself a ring now. Ben Chiarot is to the Panthers what that one really nice piece of clothing that you have is to you.

Here's a look at the winners and losers of the 2022 deadline, from the players who controlled their fate to the teams that took fate into their own hands.

And there are clear indications of buy-in throughout the lineup to gain ground and maybe make a push in the crowded Western Conference field. Did they luck out by only having to give up Owen Tippett, a conditional first-rounder in 2024 (!) and a third-rounder in 2023, because Giroux -- for whatever his reasons -- would only play for the Panthers? Absolutely, but that's hockey: How do you think the Rangers ended up with Artemi Panarin and Adam Fox? Seattle captain Giordano had modified trade protection and the team's backing to choose his next destination, and he ultimately chose to play for the Maple Leafs. Monday couldn't have played out much better for Fleury. He put his time in with Chicago -- a place the veteran clearly enjoyed playing -- and now he gets to reunite with old teammate Bill Guerin in Minnesota and chase another Stanley Cup. At 37 years old, those opportunities are increasingly rare. It's just that the Devils aren't collecting victories that often, and the choice to stand pat is different when you're a perennial contender or up against the salary cap or have already acquired a boatload of future draft choices. Wyshynski: The temptation was no doubt there to really push hard for someone like J. T. Miller of the Vancouver Canucks, a former Ranger who would have been an ideal acquisition at the deadline. In a twist that could only happen to the Golden Knights during this hellish stretch of the season, the trade is being disputed by the National Hockey League Players' Association, as Anaheim might have been on Dadonov's limited no-trade list. Now they've traded him to the Ducks along with their choice of a 2023 or 2024 second-round pick. Instead, they were forced to trade winger Evgenii Dadonov to the Ducks to open $3.375 million in salary-cap space, hoping it will help them bring back some of their injured stars as they hang on to a playoff berth for dear life. Mark Giordano pulled two second-rounders and a third out of Toronto. Ben Chiarot drew a first-rounder from Florida. So did Hampus Lindholm from Boston. There were options that Nill could have exercised to improve Dallas for the future. That will be crucial to decisions made moving forward as he guides the Ducks out of this rebuild and back toward playoff contention. I've been screaming since the offseason that the Avalanche had to address their lack of veteran forward depth, having lost a few key players in the past year.

An arms race in the Atlantic and some notable goalie decisions made for a busy NHL trade deadline. Rory Boylen looks at some winners and losers now that the ...

Toronto can at least point to Mark Giordano as its deadline prize ... however, there's a pretty big BUT attached to it. There's no forgetting that Edmonton's lowest point in the season in late December/early-January was due to the goaltending and Koskinen played a role in that, as did Smith, who just can't stay healthy. With a playoff spot far from a guarantee, GM Ken Holland felt it too risky to pay up some of the wild prices we saw, certainly for rentals, and was largely quiet. They just haven't had any luck at all this season and the biggest question mark before the deadline remains so after it: how bad is Robin Lehner's injury? And now Kahkonen is a casualty of the Fleury trade, sent to San Jose for Jacob Middleton. Tyler Motte comes in to join Barclay Goodrow on a tough fourth line with Ryan Reaves. Remember when the Rangers got pushed around by the Capitals last season? New York bulked up its third line and Andrew Copp as 3C would be terrific there -- but he can also get bumped up to the second line. But deadline season was a good one for Montreal as the Canadiens look to the future. Artturi Lehkonen perhaps could have been re-signed and it's not easy to move on from a player like him, but defenceman Justin Barron was a first-round pick himself just in 2020 and lands the Habs an excellent blue line prospect. Sakic did make an investment to take a swing on Lehkonen and did upgrade some more subtle, yet necessary parts of the roster. The Flames made some earlier deals, most notably Tyler Toffoli, and the Avs already match up well to them. It's being called an arms race because they all improved without a doubt and were actually four of the five most impactful teams this trade season.
