The moment we were all waiting for came and went and it was as exciting as we anticipated. Most NHL teams were very active at the trade deadline and even the teams that didn’t do much or anything at all had everyone talking.
Teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Seattle Kraken, Arizona Coyotes, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadiens were active sellers while the league’s top teams looked to bolster their already-solid squads.
The biggest move of the deadline was long-time Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux heading to the Florida Panthers.
Other teams like the Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes, and Boston Bruins added some nice depth ahead of the playoffs.
