Like everything else in 2021, expect something of an aberrational trade deadline this NHL season. As we learned with the Derek Stepan trade, when adding quarantine and travel factors to the usual family commitments and logistical limitations, uprooting individuals right now can have even more consequences on and off the ice than usual. Without re-litigating that particular trade, I imagine we will look at any international transactions through a similar lens for the foreseeable future. The contracted 56-game season, financial struggles, and the temporary divisional re-alignment will also make this deadline very unique and possibly rather uneventful. So with all of that in mind, how would you approach this deadline as armchair GM of the Senators?
