NHL Rumors: Notable Trade Reports on Road to 2019 Draft

NHL teams did not take long to start trading players after the end of the Stanley Cup Final.

In the last 72 hours, Philadelphia acquired Matt Niskanen from Washington and Chicago brought in Olli Maatta in a trade with Pittsburgh.

By the time Friday's NHL draft rolls around, we could witness a few more completed deals as teams look to improve their rosters before the start of free agency, while others try to get out of tight salary cap situations.

Jacob Trouba and Jimmy Vesey are just a few of the players that have been mentioned in recent trade reports, and if the right deals come to fruition, they could be on the move soon.
