The 2022 NHL trade deadline will, for many reasons, be one of the most memorable in recent NHL history.
The playoff picture was about as clear as it has ever been approaching Monday's deadline, creating a market in which a number of teams had serious reason to make big swings while numerous teams on the outside were willing to concede and sell. Multiple future Hall of Famers were dealt, as well numerous emerging young talents and five first-round picks. Plus one move between the Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights is in dispute.
It was a chaotic trading period, with a lot of teams cementing their status as contenders as others drastically improved their long-term stability.
