The NHL trade deadline passed at 2 pm central time Monday afternoon, and in a rush to improve their teams for the playoff push, a total of 22 trades were made. Another 12 were made in the week leading up to the deadline as well. Some of the Wild’s central division rivals were among the most active teams Monday, most notably the Nashville Predators and the Winnipeg Jets. So let’s take a look at how those central division teams changed both their short-term and long-term outlooks through these moves. For purposes of this article, I am going to limit this to moves made on deadline day and the week before, so anything before February 18 will not be looked at here.
