Fantasy Take – Latest NHL Moves

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.

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.

The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired defenseman Noah Hanifin from the Calgary Flames for Daniil Miromanov, a conditional 2025 first-round pick, and a conditional 2025 third-round pick. The Philadelphia Flyers receive Vegas’ 2024 fifth-round pick. The Golden Knights receive: Hanifin, who was believed to be the best defenseman currently on the trade block. He is [...]

Colorado swung two back-to-back deals that addressed areas of concern at centre and right defence. The first of which was sending Ryan Johansen out as [...]

The Rangers joined in the trade party today by sending a few picks to Seattle for Alex Wennberg, who fills in as a much-needed third-line centre for them. This may not be all they get done, as forward depth is a big need for the Rangers, but it’s a good first step. Here are the [...]
