Nashville continues to add some depth pieces as they traded for Anthony Beauvillier yesterday (that breakdown can be viewed here), added Jaret Anderson-Dolan through waivers, and have now acquired Jason Zucker from Arizona. Zucker had signed a one-year deal in the offseason to try and keep his value afloat and he’s now heading to Nashville [...]
With Cole Perfetti’s declining usage in Winnipeg of late, leading to a recent healthy scratch, combined with Gabriel Vilardi’s lingering injury issues, Winnipeg going out to get a scoring winger made a lot of sense as the Trade Deadline neared. They acquired Sean Monahan from Montreal over a month ago to help at centre, and [...]
After being sent to the AHL following his return from the Player Assistance Program, it seemed very likely that Evgeny Kuznetsov’s tenure in Washington had come to an end. He did report to the AHL, but the Carolina Hurricanes have kept adding to their roster by acquiring Kuznetsov from Washington. That follows their trade for [...]
The biggest name on the trade board had been rumoured to be heading to Carolina over the last few days but the trade of Jake Guentzel from Pittsburgh to Carolina happened overnight Thursday/Friday. Guentzel is currently injured but was skating in Pittsburgh’s practice on Thursday in a contact jersey, so it may not be long [...]
Welcome back everyone! So, the trade deadline was Wednesday, who knew? The player movement might affect some spots going forward, while we may have some opportunity here in the near future. Once the dust settles after today we’ll have a better idea of the new NHL landscape, but for now let’s see what’s in store [...]
The first of the San Jose Trade Deadline trades happened late Thursday night as winger Anthony Duclair was sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning, along with a seventh-round pick in 2025, in exchange for prospect defenseman Jack Thompson and a third-round pick in 2024. Thompson is a third-round pick from 2020 himself with 32 points [...]
This week we return to trade deadline talk. Last week we did a historical walkthrough of the 22-23 season and what happened to the forwards traded. This week we will be touching on defense. We won’t be hitting directly on specific trades from 23-24 in this article, but I wanted to set our expectations for [...]
In Vladimir Tarasenko’s debut with Florida, he started on the top line with Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, skating on the left side. That moved Carter Verhaeghe down to the second line and Nick Cousins to the fourth. We will see how long this lasts but it’s a very good position to be to start [...]
Nashville made some moves swapping around their depth as they traded forward Yakov Trenin and prospect Graham Sward to Colorado in exchange for prospect Jeremy Hanzel and a third-round pick in the 2025 Draft. That trade was made just an hour or so after the team acquired forward Anthony Beauvillier from Chicago for a fifth-round [...]
