The NHL’s trade-deadline action was more like a dud, with few deals of significance being completed before noon Pacific time.
The Ducks acquired forward Brandon Pirri from the Florida Panthers for a sixth-round draft pick, an apparent steal that was not confirmed as of early afternoon because the required conference call with the league had not been completed.
In addition, the Ducks reportedly acquired forward Jamie McGinn from Buffalo shortly before the deadline for a conditional third-round draft pick that can become a second-round pick depending on certain criteria.
The Kings acquired forward Brett Sutter, son of Coach Darryl Sutter, from Minnesota for forward Scott Sabourin.
