Limited salary-cap space hasn't prevented some teams from making early moves during this NHL season.
Six trades have taken place since this campaign officially began on Oct. 4. The most recent moves saw the Pittsburgh Penguins send center Lars Eller back to the Washington Capitals on Nov. 12. Four days earlier, the Vancouver Canucks shipped winger Daniel Sprong back to the Seattle Kraken.
Meanwhile, the trade rumor mill continues churning away as pundits ponder which players could be next to change teams.
Some rumors surround a Western Conference club projected to be a playoff contender following a busy offseason adding talent via free agency.
