NHL trades

The weekend has come and gone, with quite a number of trades already in the pipe after a busy few days of deals. These last few days alone saw Patrick Kane, ...

For a depth forward with some scoring upside, Lafferty would be a solid addition to a team’s bottom-six. With 10 goals and 21 points in 51 games, Lafferty is having himself quite the season and has put himself on the trade block because of it. As an upcoming free agent, van Riemsdyk is an attractive rental piece for any team looking to beef up their offense. The Flyers forward is a streaky point scorer (nine goals and 23 points in 39 games played) but is effective at camping out at the front of the net and getting those greasy goals. That being said, Karlsson is an offensive game-changer on the back end for any contending team and would net quite the haul for San Jose as well. While Klingberg’s recent numbers haven’t impressed, he could very well rebound once he’s not on one of the NHL’s worst teams this year. Klingberg’s bounced around since leaving Dallas in free agency last year, and any team that acquires him at the deadline likely sees him as just a rental given his UFA status this summer. Still, if you’re in the market for high quality defensemen, it is the price you have to pay. While stay-at-home defensemen don’t always get the big spotlight during the trade deadline, Vladislav Gavrikov is as steady as they come on the back end. Kane’s cap hit will likely be a deterrent for some, but Chicago has more than enough room to retain salary on his $10.5 million cap hit. With 16 goals and 45 points in 54 games, Kane has been the Plus, Chychrun is on an affordable deal that has two more years remaining after this season ends.

These five players aren't as flashy as some of the stars who have been moved, but they can still help a number of teams.

18: The Red Wings have traded for forward Jasper Weatherby from the Sharks. Louis came to a close, as the Rangers traded for the winger, along with defenseman Niko Mikkola.

The cost was a bit jaw-dropping, as the Predators received defenseman Cal Foote, a 2025 conditional 1st-round pick, a 2024 2nd-round pick and a 3rd-, 4th- and 5th-round pick in 2023. The Blackhawks received forwards Joey Anderson and Pavel Gogolev, a conditional 2025 1st-round pick and a 2026 2nd-round pick. 27: The Maple Leafs added two more pieces before the deadline. — March 1: The Avalanche have added to its bottom-six.

In exchange for Orlov and Hathaway, the Bruins sent the following to the Capitals: [Connor McDavid](/nhl/players/2178633/connor-mcdavid/) and [Leon Draisaitl](/nhl/players/2147141/leon-draisaitl/) at the top of the lineup, goal-scoring will take care of itself. He has 62 career points (34 goals & 28 assists) in 152 career regular season games as a member of the Predators. According to TSN's Darren Dreger, Edmonton has expressed interest in Arizona's Jacob Chychrun, Nashville's [Mattias Ekholm](/nhl/players/1897652/mattias-ekholm/), and Columbus' [Vladislav Gavrikov](/nhl/players/2831721/vladislav-gavrikov/). 22, and he has been away from the Blackhawks as he waits for a deal to happen. 9, and now Kane joins the mix as the Rangers push for a Stanley Cup in a competitive Eastern Conference. In exchange for Kane, the Blackhawks will receive a 2023 conditional second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round pick. Korpisalo, 28, has a 11-11-3 record to go along with a 3.17 goals-against-average and a .911 save percentage in 28 games this season as he's split time with [Elvis Merzlikins](/nhl/players/3107125/elvis-merzlikins/) in Columbus. If the Rangers reach the Eastern Conference Finals, the conditional second-round pick becomes a first-round pick in 2024 or 2025. The first-round pick going to Toronto is the one Washington got from the Boston Bruins in the Dmitry Orlov trade just last week. The left-handed shooting defenseman has recorded 10 goals and 21 assists in 52 games as a member of the Coyotes this season. Hronek is already tied for his career high in goals, and he is on track to set a new career high in assists too.

Here are the names generating the most buzz around the league, with analysis from Eric Duhatschek, Pierre LeBrun and Michael Russo.

[Vladislav Gavrikov](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/vladislav-gavrikov-LEMAb8P4y20A3t6l/). With [Anton Forsberg](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/anton-forsberg-DZWju2X4O2yDmndt/) out for the season, the Senators are getting a chance to evaluate [Mads Sogaard](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/mads-sogaard-UwVYWg0Nvv5WytoZ/) who, so far, has shown remarkable poise. [Blues’](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/blues/) 2019 run to the Cup and Montreal’s 2021 run to the final. That’s 10 goals for the season for Gostisbehere, tied for 11th in the league among defensemen with, among others, the [Rangers’](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/rangers/) [Adam Fox](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/adam-fox-HohcSXozcwVqahEZ/). [Detroit](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/redwings/)? [Nashville](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/predators/) on Sunday. Though he came up as a center, he’s played mostly the wing with the Ducks, usually alongside [Trevor Zegras](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/trevor-zegras-OaiDyQMsbh0eO6zL/) and [Troy Terry](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/troy-terry-6fMEcYNivRE3njjg/) before Terry got hurt. Of the teams looking for center-ice depth, [Colorado](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/avalanche/) and [Dallas](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/stars/) may not have the cap space to make it work, but [Carolina](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/hurricanes/) might. [Erik Karlsson](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/erik-karlsson-wfs21WC1MyiivfTP/) can’t be managed ahead of the deadline, Klingberg would be a logical fallback position. [Martin Necas](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/martin-necas-ZDYNlYjqGeME7FVz/), [Andrei Svechnikov](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/andrei-svechnikov-qKYaI0GMFjvlY48D/), Mat Barzal, [Elias Lindholm](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/elias-lindholm-b6AdnBYqyd7gXYXP/), [Anze Kopitar](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/anze-kopitar-lktbxSmiaw1BPFhc/) and [Mark Scheifele](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/mark-scheifele-SeBCkfBlEaJjcbzm/). 25 Joonas Korpisalo (Kings)](https://theathletic.com/4263777/2023/03/01/la-kings-trade-quick/) 2 Vladislav Gavrikov (Kings)](https://theathletic.com/4263777/2023/03/01/la-kings-trade-quick/) [No.

With a flurry of trades already, CBC Sports' daily newsletter looks at where Canada's NHL teams stand ahead of Friday's 3 p.m. ET deadline.

[blowing a two-goal lead](https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets-los-angeles-kings-recap-nhl-feb-28-1.6763643?cmp=newsletter_The%20Buzzer_8504_917398) last night to the Kings. The Canucks already played their biggest card with the Bo Horvat deal to the Islanders, and they also got a third-rounder from the Leafs for Schenn. With that playoff spot now in peril, a Friday-Saturday home-and-home against the Oilers, with whom the Jets are tied in the standings, looms large. This morning, Jonathan Quick, the goalie who won two Stanley Cups over 16 years with the Kings, was [relocated to Columbus](https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/jonathan-quick-nhl-trade-roundup-1.6764205?cmp=newsletter_The%20Buzzer_8504_917398). Still, a young team finally getting to play meaningful games probably deserves some sort of deadline boost — Back-to-back wins against Detroit this week slotted Ottawa five points shy of a wild-card spot, but with teams still left to leapfrog, its postseason chances remain slim. The frustrating season was encapsulated last night when the Flames outshot the Bruins 57-20 but League-leading Boston — owner of a ridiculous +97 goal differential and a 13-point lead on the Presidents' Trophy — would possibly await in round 2. The scoring should be boosted by the imminent return from injury of Evander Kane, but the crease looks to be a much tougher fix. But Winnipeg now finds itself getting booed on home ice and riding a four-game losing streak after Outgoing were a pair of Toronto's own first-rounders, defenceman Rasmus Sandin and forwards Pierre Engvall and Joey Anderson. On Monday, I wrote that the NHL's trade deadline day "could be a dud," since many of the top targets had already been picked off the market.
