The NHL saw a slew of high-profile moves leading into the deadline, with all three New York-area teams dealing for superstars.
So much happened in the weeks leading into March 3 that the trade deadline itself was almost anticlimactic by default.
With him being a restricted free agent this season, Meier will likely be a Devil for a long time to come.by acquiring Bo Horvat for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a conditional first-round pick all the way back at the end of January, then inking Horvat to an eight-year extension.at the cost of a future third-rounder was a necessary move for a playoff run.
The Senators needed a defenseman and they ended up with Jakob Chychrun, likely the best player on the market and someone under contract through 2025. The result is a Leafs team that looks much better equipped to take on the Lightning in an anticipated first-round series with more toughness and compete level up and down the roster.From a purely pragmatic standpoint, Steve Yzerman’s moves were understandable. Getting a first and second-round pick for Hronek is a great return, as is a 2024 first and 2025 fourth for Bertuzzi, an expiring contract.
The five picks that came back from the Lightning for Jeannot alone make this deadline a win for David Poile, who will be stepping down for Barry Trotz on July 1.
