The NHL trade deadline is here, and our Trade Rumors sister site, Pro Hockey Rumors, has coverage for all 32 teams! You can keep up with the moves with Twitter/X (@ProHockeyRumors) before the 2:00 p.m. CT cutoff.
PHR’s Josh Erickson will host a live chat early in the morning to discuss some big-name moves earlier in the week and what other news may come down the pike today.
Trade action began heating up in earnest on Wednesday, with big names like 2019 Stanley Cup winner Vladimir Tarasenko heading south to the Panthers and top defense target Noah Hanifin joining the Golden Knights in their quest for a repeat championship. The best rental forward on the market, longtime Penguins fixture Jake Guentzel, headed to the Hurricanes late last night as Pittsburgh retools their roster in the final years of Sidney Crosby’s tenure.
We’ve seen 19 completed trades this month, including two three-way deals. There were 19 total swaps on deadline day alone last year, a figure 2024 is expected to surpass.
There are still a handful of top-tier names that could be on the move today, including Devils leading goal-scorer Tyler Toffoli, a pair of big-name goaltenders in Jacob Markström and reigning Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark, and Blues star forward Pavel Buchnevich.
Check in with Pro Hockey Rumors throughout the day to keep track of all the action! You can also follow us on Twitter/X (@ProHockeyRumors).
No. It’s hockey. 😉
Where’s the thumbs down on this thing
Probably on the hockey page.
What is hockey?
only the greatest playoff sport.
How so? Not disagreeing. I just see the hockey season as an endless abyss.
Why is the NHL trade deadline so late compared to the other three major sports leagues?
In a sense its no different than when Baseball had the August 31st waiver trade deadline, though i do agree it is late compared to most sports. I wonder if some of it is media coverage related. January is about the NFL playoffs and MLB free agency, February has the Super Bowl, the NBA and NHL All-Star games and the NBA trade deadline while March has spring training and pretty much nothing else
Plus the Minnesota State High School Semis are today. If you know, you know.
They still play hockey?
Yeah, they’ve got uniforms and everything. It’s really great.
I like when they punch each other in the face
NHL needs to fix their playoff format. That 2 vs. 3 matchup each year is getting stale. Dump the conferences and have the top 16 teams playing each other. #1 overall team plays #16 and so on.
MLB needs to fix their playoff format. The current matchups each year are getting stale. Dump the Divisions and have the top 16 teams playing each other. #1 overall team plays #16 and so on.
I don’t know much about hockey but this might’ve helped last year’s Braves and Dodgers advance a little further.
@Jack Dawkins
I 100% agree. MLB should do that. I’m just posting in an NHL article so I thought I’d stay on topic…
Not sure why it’s so hard to keep non-baseball related stuff off this feed. Like is it a web-development issue? Sort it out.
They post the really big days like trade deadline days to the other sports to get casual viewers to check it out. It’s not like there are normally non MLB sports articles on the MLB page, geez.
I can see “Pro Hockey Rumors” in the title bar. I know where it is, if I were interested. Do they think we’re morons who wouldn’t be able to find it otherwise?
Stop polluting the baseball feed.
Jeez, talk about first world problems lol.
Wah. Wah. Wah. That’s the hill you want to die on?
Who’s dying? I’m just voicing my opinion. Quit exaggerating.
And the Red Wings, like the Tigers, sitting on their butts…..
