The month leading up to the 2023 NHL trade deadline has been one of the busiest we’ve seen in recent years, and the action isn’t done yet.
Deadline season is always crazy, but this year has seen a plethora of big names get moved well in advance of March 3, the last day for trades. Bo Horvat, Ryan O’Reilly, Vladimir Tarasenko, Dmitry Orlov, Jake McCabe and Timo Meier are all wearing new sweaters now.
However, we still have a few days left ahead of the 3 p.m. deadline on Friday. Patrick Kane, Jakob Chychrun, James van Riemsdyk and Vladislav Gavrikov remain available as potential trade chips.
