The NHL trade deadline is Monday at 3 p.m. ET. Several contenders are looking to add the final pieces to their Stanley Cup puzzles. Other teams are seeking to capitalize on the value of pending free agents before they walk away.
The 2022 deadline is highlighted by the potential availability of a few high-profile names such as Philadelphia Flyers star Claude Giroux, Chicago Blackhawks goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and Anaheim Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm. There are plenty of defensemen in play. But if a team needs a goalie, this might not be the best deadline for making a deal.
