The NHL trade deadline is often a time for furious activity, and the 31 teams in the league have been scouting, assessing, planning and making moves over the past month. However, the trade deadline will be at hand Monday at 3 p.m. ET, so the time for general managers to complete player trades and movement is now.
The New York Rangers completed a trade with the Boston Bruins Sunday that sent left wing Rick Nash to the Bruins for forwards Ryan Spooner, Matt Beleskey and defenseman Ryan Lindgren, along with a 2018 first-round draft pick and a seventh-round selection in 2019.
