Lightning stand pat at Trade Deadline

Over all, the final day of the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline was a rather slow one. By the time the trade queue at the NHL offices were cleared a little after 3:00 PM EST, the grand total of deals completed on Friday stood at 19.

Trade Deadline Day Total:

2023: 19
2022: 30
2021: 17
2020: 31
2019: 20
2018: 18

Despite the slow start to the day, more trades than 2018 & 2021!— CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) March 3, 2023

While the finale was rather tame, the weeks leading up to Friday were fun.
