Nashville — Mercifully, in two weeks, it’ll be over. The NHL trade deadline is Feb. 25 at 3 p.m.
Hopefully, it’ll arrive here before any hockey fans' eyeballs explode reading the endless speculation, trade rumors, and endless analysis and predictions of who will go where.
For the players and coaches, too, it’s a surreal time.
For those closely affected, the impending unrestricted free agents who are easy trade pieces and rentals for playoff contenders, it’s particularly jarring.
Forward Gustav Nyquist is one of those potential UFAs whose name is in many rumors.
