NHL.com has complete fantasy hockey coverage of the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline with the impact of the biggest moves on relevant players involved and their new and old teammates. Forward Andrew Copp has been acquired by the New York Rangers from the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, boosting his fantasy value for the rest of the season in deep leagues. Forward Rickard Rakell has been acquired by the Pittsburgh Penguins from the Anaheim Ducks, giving him bounce-back potential for the rest of the fantasy season. He has also provided strong hits coverage through the years with 61 this season and 1.3 per game in his career. The move diminishes the fantasy value of Talbot as their 1B or backup option, but it's encouraging to see a competition brewing; Talbot had a 28-save shutout win against Vegas on Monday.

NHL Trade Deadline Winners, Losers (unknown)

The Panthers and Flyers are two teams going in opposite directions as laid out in our NHL trade deadline winners and losers.

On the other hand, though, New York had a handful of veteran unrestricted free agents it could have turned into assets. Might as well stay the course and see if you can get hot and go on a run. Detroit Red Wings: Steve Yzerman continues to rebuild the franchise for which he became a legend.

All Signs Point To Quiet NHL Trade Deadline For New Jersey Devils (unknown)

The New Jersey Devils looked like they could be players at the NHL Trade Deadline, but with a few hours left, it looks like a quiet day is incoming.

From all the evidence we have in front of us, don’t be surprised if we see a very early “Devils are done for the day”. To be honest, it just seems like the Devils are going to stand pat at the deadline. The Devils were already sitting back and letting people contact them at this deadline, but that strategy might not have been the best. None of them were the Devils despite the team being one of the worst yet again. The Devils are once again in last place in the Metropolitan Division despite one of their division rivals having two different 10-game losing streaks. The only thing people are holding on to in terms of rumors is the fact that thre Devils placed Christian Jaros on waivers on Sunday, but that could just mean Janne Kuokkanen or Miles Wood is ready to return to the lineup.

Marc-Andre Fleury, the Rangers, Maple Leafs, more (unknown)

Here's a look at the winners and losers of the 2022 deadline, from the players who controlled their fate to the teams that took fate into their own hands.

And there are clear indications of buy-in throughout the lineup to gain ground and maybe make a push in the crowded Western Conference field. Did they luck out by only having to give up Owen Tippett, a conditional first-rounder in 2024 (!) and a third-rounder in 2023, because Giroux -- for whatever his reasons -- would only play for the Panthers? Absolutely, but that's hockey: How do you think the Rangers ended up with Artemi Panarin and Adam Fox? Seattle captain Giordano had modified trade protection and the team's backing to choose his next destination, and he ultimately chose to play for the Maple Leafs. Monday couldn't have played out much better for Fleury. He put his time in with Chicago -- a place the veteran clearly enjoyed playing -- and now he gets to reunite with old teammate Bill Guerin in Minnesota and chase another Stanley Cup. At 37 years old, those opportunities are increasingly rare. It's just that the Devils aren't collecting victories that often, and the choice to stand pat is different when you're a perennial contender or up against the salary cap or have already acquired a boatload of future draft choices. Wyshynski: The temptation was no doubt there to really push hard for someone like J. T. Miller of the Vancouver Canucks, a former Ranger who would have been an ideal acquisition at the deadline. In a twist that could only happen to the Golden Knights during this hellish stretch of the season, the trade is being disputed by the National Hockey League Players' Association, as Anaheim might have been on Dadonov's limited no-trade list. Now they've traded him to the Ducks along with their choice of a 2023 or 2024 second-round pick. Instead, they were forced to trade winger Evgenii Dadonov to the Ducks to open $3.375 million in salary-cap space, hoping it will help them bring back some of their injured stars as they hang on to a playoff berth for dear life. Mark Giordano pulled two second-rounders and a third out of Toronto. Ben Chiarot drew a first-rounder from Florida. So did Hampus Lindholm from Boston. There were options that Nill could have exercised to improve Dallas for the future. That will be crucial to decisions made moving forward as he guides the Ducks out of this rebuild and back toward playoff contention. I've been screaming since the offseason that the Avalanche had to address their lack of veteran forward depth, having lost a few key players in the past year.

What the Fleury, Carpenter Deals Mean for the Blackhawks (unknown)

The Chicago Blackhawks were expected to be active at the NHL trade deadline, and while they didn't make as many moves as teams may have predicted, they did.

Taylor Raddysh is an especially intriguing piece, as his style of play would seem to fit a top-six forward. Both Katchouk and Raddysh are making $758,333, meaning that the Hawks will have a touch over $16,000 in additional cap burden because of the deal. He did so without ever losing any of his edge, earning him comparisons to Andrew Shaw and the adulation of Blackhawks fans. The other big question, of course, is what the Blackhawks plan to do at goaltender in the future. That deal is paying Carpenter $1 million per year, giving him some value at the trade deadline as teams look for bottom-six forwards to fill out their rosters. The Blackhawks cleared $3.5 million in cap space thanks to the deal.

East up for grabs after ‘arms race’ at NHL trade deadline (unknown)

Jon Cooper is keenly aware that Tampa Bay's path to hoisting the Stanley Cup a third consecutive year got more difficult after a series of big trades in ...

One team’s going to win the Stanley Cup.” “One team’s going to win. The Hurricanes may have been able to make a move like that, but his decades in this business tempered Waddell’s actions even in light of all the trades happening around him. “Quite frankly, I didn’t feel like we had to make a deal,” Pittsburgh GM Ron Hextall said. Even after trading for Mark Giordano in their biggest pre-deadline move, they failed to solve their goaltending woes. Atop the list are the back-to-back defending champion Lightning, who after losing an entire forward line to salary cap attrition last summer somehow might now arguably be deeper than they were for their last two title runs.

How did the Sabres do at the NHL Trade Deadline? (unknown)

Grading GM Kevyn Adams on his deadline day (in)activity.

Or should he have dropped his demands to clear out some players like Miller? Grade the GM below and leave a comment on why you voted like you did. So the NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Buffalo Sabres remain relatively unchanged. Colin Miller was expected to be the biggest piece we could move, but his recent injury history certainly played a part against any interest in him.

They also landed San Jose forward Andrew Cogliano to add depth after bolstering the blue line after acquiring defenseman Josh Manson from Anaheim last week. The high-scoring Wild effectively exchanged Fleury for Kaapo Kahkonen, who they traded to San Jose for a fifth-round pick, and gave themselves an option in net other than Cam Talbot. Minnesota acquired the biggest name available on Monday, adding a three-time Stanley Cup winner.

Contenders bulk up, but no goalie fix could hurt some (unknown)

The NHL trade deadline finished with a flurry. Even with a bunch of big moves during the weekend, there was plenty of activity before deadline.

He's playing, but the team is banged up, is up against the cap and barely in a playoff spot. But they made a flurry at the end by adding forwards Andrew Copp and Tyler Motte, plus defenseman Justin Braun. Their bottom-six forwards and defense are deeper and the team has more experience. The Wild were giving up loads of goals after the All-Star break, but Talbot had turned around his game recently. With goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, defenseman Victor Hedman and a staple of talented forwards, the Lightning could win a third consecutive Stanley Cup. The only weaknesses on the Avalanche were grit on the blue line, faceoffs and penalty killing. He's close to family in Chicago and he gets to work for general manager Bill Guerin, his former Penguins teammate.

33 trades made, 54 players moved (unknown)

Welcome to 2022 NHL Trade Deadline day. NHL.com senior writer Dan Rosen will have the news and all day long, with reporters in place across the League.

Miller struggled and the Blues lost the Western Conference First Round in six games to the Blackhawks. But having an extra NHL defenseman is always a plus and now the Penguins have eight with the addition of Beaulieu. The 37-year-old goalie is in the final season of a three-year, $21 million contract. It'll be Fleury and Cam Talbot in the Wild net for the rest of this season at least. The Bruins will want a player who they can put in their lineup right away if they trade DeBrusk before the deadline. It is second in the NHL and first in the Western Conference with 3.84 goals per game. Johansson has scored 23 points (six goals, 17 assists) in 51 games for the Kraken this season. It makes the most sense for the Predators to keep Forsberg and treat him as their own rental and try to make a run with him. Re-signing Clutterbuck and Parise is a sign that the Islanders feel they can get right back in the mix for the Stanley Cup Playoffs next season and they value each as being a part of it. Sundqvist won the Stanley Cup with the Blues in 2019 playing in a fourth line role. For starters, Copp and Motte are perfect fits for the Rangers in terms of their grinding yet fast style of play. Neither can give the Penguins anything close to the production Rakell can and Pittsburgh still has enough depth in the lineup too.

Winners and losers from Monday's flurry of moves (unknown)

Not all teams can be big winners on trade deadline day, though. A few Stanley Cup hopefuls were not able to keep pace with the likes of the Avalanche and the ...

In that respect, Edmonton did get better for the race to the playoffs and beyond. Vegas still has the makings of a great team, but it needs to put it all together in time for the playoffs. Following a Stanley Cup Final appearance last season, the Canadiens got off to a disastrous start in 2021-22 and it quickly became clear that the franchise had a long and painful rebuild ahead of it. To their credit, the Oilers did manage to address a need at the trade deadline. You have to tip your cap to the Panthers for recognizing that and being aggressive this year. Florida took advantage of that leverage and managed to get a legitimate game-changer in its quest for a Stanley Cup. For a team that has battled injuries all season and is fighting for a playoff spot, that is less than ideal. A number of contenders in the Eastern Conference made notable moves to bolster their lineups for a playoff run. Florida is a top-three team in the league, and its championship window is wide open right now. While some teams operated in denial that they needed to be a seller at the deadline, the Ducks leaned into that role and are better for it. In the week leading up to the trade deadline, Anaheim was able to add seven draft picks. Once the season ends and lucrative offers on the open market get closer, it's hard to believe that Forsberg's price will come down after a career year.

In 2023, they will have four picks in the first two rounds with nine in the first four rounds. “The foundation of any successful organization is the draft picks and the prospects they have coming,” Francis said. The Kraken have five picks in the first two rounds with four coming in the second in this year’s draft.

2022 NHL trade deadline winners and losers (unknown)

Monday was a busy day in the hockey world, so here are the biggest winners and losers from the 2022 NHL trade deadline.

While not strange on its own, what is weird is that DeBrusk asked out of Boston last fall and is still on the team even though there was a high probability he was moved at the deadline. And yet, the fact that a deal didn’t get done today means DeBrusk will have to sit with this unhappy marriage until the offseason. While there were at least 28 deals made on deadline day, it’s a shame there weren’t as many three-team trades given it’s quite a neat way for teams to lower the cost without losing much in return. The Lightning have a chance to be the first team in almost 40 years to three-peat and for Julien BriseBois, all the futures in the world are worth the chance at NHL history. Giroux should have been a Flyer until the day he retires from the NHL and it’s a complete organizational failure by Philadelphia that we got to this point. From former general manager Ron Hextall to current GM Chuck Fletcher on down, the Flyers failed Giroux and their fans and this is the deserved result. I get that Giroux wanted to go to Florida only, hampering the Flyers a bit in making a deal, but it’s still an absolute sham. No one knows what the future will hold for Giroux, but joining the Panthers gives him a really great chance to chase a Stanley Cup on a Florida team that is going all-in. Just great stuff from both Kent Hughes and Pat Verbeek getting everything but the kitchen sink for the players they set out to deal. It was all but assured that Claude Giroux would be wearing a different sweater by the time Monday came to a close. We knew the prices would be high this year, and for the most part, the sellers came out on top of their respective deals. This year’s trade deadline certainly was much more active than the 2021 deadline, which saw fewer than 20 deals made on deadline day, so it’s fair to say the day went by quite fast.

The 2022 NHL Trade Deadline & the New Jersey Devils Open Post (unknown)

Today is the day of the NHL Trade Deadline for the 2022 season. By 3 PM ET, all trades must be registered with the league. The New Jersey Devils are ...

This is a lot for Hagel, but this is the kind of deal where Hagel could easily thrive in Tampa Bay and help push them over the top for a three-peat. Please feel free to chat about what the New Jersey Devils should do, should not do, and what they have done so far. Here is the annual reminder for this kind of post: Please do not post false rumors, “hot tips from sources” that nobody knows, and cite Twitter accounts that are not legitimate or real insiders. Since the Devils may not be able to get a goaltender in a trade, I have a chaotic idea. Players need to be on the AHL roster by 3 PM in order to be eligible for the Calder Cup Playoffs, which are a near-lock for the Comets this season. Of course, what Fitzgerald and the New Jersey Devils do now and in the near future will be based on what the rest of the league does. It is also worth noting that Tampa Bay, like a lot of teams leaning on LTIR, have such little cap space that even a guy on a $1.35 million cap hit needed salary retention to make it work. * March 19 - Hampus Lindholm (50% retained) and Kodie Curran to Boston. Anaheim receives Boston’s 1st rounder in 2022, 2nd rounder in 2023, 2nd rounder in 2024, Urho Vaakanainen, and John Moore. This is a lot for Hampus Lindholm! And Boston followed up this deal with an eight-season $52 million extension! Today is the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline. Today is the last day for teams to register trades that will allow players to participate in the playoffs. He could even do nothing and prefer to be much more active in the Summer. The Devils do not have a lot of pending unrestricted free agents this year. As with the last three seasons, the New Jersey Devils are expected to be sellers by the trade deadline.

Why Coyotes decided to not move Jakob Chychrun, Phil Kessel (unknown)

One team that was expected to make some moves stayed fairly quiet on Monday. The Coyotes had been shopping both defenseman Jakob Chychrun and forward Phil ...

It's a decision that is not detrimental to the franchise. He is a pending free agent and the Coyotes could have used him in a trade to get some draft capital. The trade rumors around Chychrun will die down for the rest of the hockey season and he'll finish out this year in the desert. Armstrong stated that Kessel's salary was an issue when it came to negotiating a trade. Not only that, but it would have given a respected veteran an opportunity to win a Stanley Cup elsewhere. There had reportedly been ample parties that had called the Coyotes about Chychrun, including the LA Kings.

NHL trade deadline tracker: After trading for Giroux, Panthers stand ... (Miami Herald)

We'll keep you updated on the Panthers' day leading up to the 2022 NHL trade deadline. After adding Claude Giroux and Ben Chiarot, will Florida make more ...

The most logical course of action might be to absorb some unwanted contracts into their newfound cap space and try to pick up some draft picks in the process. Will the Panthers try to consolidate more of their forward depth and find another player to compete for a top-six or -nine spot in the lineup? Could Florida look for even more defensive depth to make up for Ekblad’s absence? They kept dealing Sunday, too, and traded for defenseman Robert Hagg from the Buffalo Sabres. The Panthers popped on his radar as a potential destination this year, he said. Carolina retained 50 percent of Domi’s contract — the maximum allowed — and the Panthers retained 50 percent of what was left. Another, perhaps more likely path, is for Florida to be middleman and retain salary. On Saturday, they reeled in Giroux, sending another first-round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers to acquire the All-Star forward. As an example, look to last year, when the Tampa Bay Lightning acquired defenseman David Savard, even though it couldn’t afford him. He would’ve been a depth addition for Florida, probably on one of the bottom two lines. The simplest is for the Panthers to serve as the landing spot for a team trying to dump a contract while they acquire another player. “It was pretty annoying to play the Panthers, but I’ll be on their side now.

NHL Trade Deadline Tracker: Latest News, Rumors, Analysis For ... (NESN.com)

3:30 p.m.: Some more Bruins news, but it's not a trade — it's the opposite. The B's are holding onto Jake DeBrusk, per multiple reports.

However, a busy weekend might make Monday — the actual day of the 2022 NHL trade deadline — slightly less interesting. For instance: What do the Arizona Coyotes decide to do? There’s now some contractual certainty for any team looking to acquire him, with DeBrusk originally set to become a restricted free agent (with an accompanying offer sheet worry) after the season. New York is leaning on a longtime rival to help with that, reportedly acquiring D-man Justin Braun from the Flyers. The B’s are holding onto Jake DeBrusk, per multiple reports. The dust has largely settled on an eventful NHL trade deadline day. Despite that, reports still indicate DeBrusk wants to be traded, and the extension might actually make it easier to move him. And then locally, the Boston Bruins made their big splash by acquiring Hampus Lindholm over the weekend, but they might not be done, especially considering Jake DeBrusk’s lingering trade request. Jake DeBrusk: Not much has changed — DeBrusk still wants out of Boston — and the Bruins have tried to find a deal but haven’t found anything yet. One player who won’t be moved, though, is Arizona defenseman Jakob Chychrun. He’s staying put, per multiple reports. The Avs are sending a 2024 fifth-round pick to San Jose in the deal, per reports. 3:30 p.m.: Some more Bruins news, but it’s not a trade — it’s the opposite.

NHL Trade Deadline winners, losers: East loads up, GM beefs (NHL)

We take a look at all of the winners and losers from the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline including the Eastern Conference loading up and general manager beefs.

Kyle Dubas did not like that word leaked out about his attempt to acquire Marc-Andre Fleury and Brandon Hagel and put the blame on Kyle Davidson in Chicago. Kyle Davidson quipped back that he would handle it in private with Dubas. This is the best general manager beef since the time Brian Burke and Kevin Lowe were going to fight in a barn. Brett Kulak is a smart pickup from Montreal, but does he really move the needle much against the other top Stanley Cup contenders? That would only add assets to be used to turn the franchise around. The Rangers were in a position to be major buyers at the trade deadline given their salary cap space, and while they did not swing for the fences or hit a clear home run, they did make a couple of really smart moves in Andrew Copp, Tyler Motte, and Justin Braun to add some much needed depth to their lineup. The one real asset they had was goaltender Semyon Varlamov, but he has a 16-team no-trade clause, which could really hinder shopping around for a move. Indifferent feeling: Lou Lamoriello and the Islanders. Had they been active the Islanders would have been sellers. The popular consensus is to make Florida big winners at the trade deadline because they added a lot, but I am going to play contrarian here and say I do not like what they did to their defense. Better hope Jack Campbell returns soon and plays like he did in the first part of the season. Loser: Trying to slide players through waivers. That includes four seconds and three fourths this season and three seconds and two thirds in 2023. Winner: Colorado Avalanche. The rich get richer. After all of the speculation and rumors the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline is now in the rear view mirror.

NHL trade deadline winners and losers 2022: Analyzing best, worst ... (NBC Sports Boston)

The NHL trade deadline has passed, so it's now time to look at which teams improved the most with the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs on the horizon.

Jakob Chychrun was the top defenseman rumored to be available but didn't get moved. Based on the playoff format, the Hurricanes won't have to play any of those Atlantic Division teams until the conference finals -- if they even make it that far -- but Carolina's path to the Cup Final is definitely harder now than it was a week ago. Acquiring Vladislav Namestnikov from the Red Wings is unlikely to move the needle. The Avalanche gave up plenty of draft picks and a couple second-tier prospects to make these moves. Dallas getting back in the playoff hunt made trading top-four defenseman John Klingberg unlikely, but now he's able to leave in the summer as an unrestricted free agent. However, they are without question a better team with the additions of defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Josh Brown. Cogliano adds veteran depth and experience to the bottom-six. The Ducks fell out of the playoff race over the last couple weeks and wisely decided to become sellers. After a couple painful playoff exits in recent seasons, Colorado stepped up at this trade deadline to improve its depth at a couple positions. The two-time defending champs always find a way to upgrade at the trade deadline, and they did it again last week by acquiring middle-six forward Brandon Hagel from the Chicago Blackhawks. The cost was pretty steep -- two first-round picks and two prospects. After adding some quality depth over the last few days, it's hard to pick another team to come out of the Eastern Conference this spring. The cost to bring in these players was substantial.

They acquired forward Artturi Lehkonen from the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Justin Barron and a second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft on Monday, a trade that will shore up the third line on a team that is offensively dynamic. He won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007 and helped the Dallas Stars get to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final before losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games. Giroux has Stanley Cup Playoff pedigree with 73 points (25 goals, 48 assists) in 85 postseason games and adds to an already talented forwards group that features three players who are averaging more than a point per game this season: Huberdeau (86 points in 62 games), Barkov (62 in 49) and Sam Reinhart (60 in 59). Chiarot was in the Stanley Cup Final with the Montreal Canadiens last season and brings some much-needed sandpaper to the blue line. The NHL landscape was reshaped over the past few days with Stanley Cup contenders adding players for the stretch run and other teams adding assets to build for the future before the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline on Monday. With the dust clearing from a wild flurry of transactions Monday, it is time to figure out which team did the best before the deadline passed. -- Tracey Myers, staff writerThe Panthers didn't just land a big name in Claude Giroux. They landed a player who is still performing at an elite level, who is motivated to win the Stanley Cup for the first time and who fits well with Florida. Imagine Giroux on the wing with center Aleksander Barkov and on the half wall on the power play with Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau and Aaron Ekblad. Florida also bolstered its defense with Ben Chiarot and added depth with Robert Hagg. It's going to be tough to come out of the Atlantic Division, let alone win the Cup. But the Panthers are going for it and for good reason. Beyond that, the Flames (38-16-8) decided not to participate in the flurry of major trades made in the past 72 hours, particularly in the Atlantic Division. It was the wisest move possible for a team that's been hitting on all cylinders for most of this season and leads the Pacific Division. Calgary made modest improvements and remained in a strong position to contend for the Stanley Cup. It will not be among the teams that could eventually suffer buyer's remorse after overpaying for players in the hours leading up to the deadline.

Reviewing Minnesota’s deadline moves (unknown)

How did they do? Let's just get right to it. Marc-Andre Fleury for conditional 2nd-round pick. Certainly the biggest deal of the day for the Wild — and it might ...

Maybe, the 24-year-old will find a new life in Minnesota and get promoted up the lineup next season, or they can be completely fine having Jost at that number since two of their other centers (Ryan Hartman and Frederick Gaudreau) have a lower cap hit. Jost has one more season with a $2-million AAV and considering the incoming cap crunch that has been talked about way too much, it is a fairly sizeable price for a fourth-line center. It was good, and with the context of the other moves, it certainly makes Minnesota an annoying team to play against. It was a trade that was done in tandem with the Fleury acquisition, as the Wild certainly did not want to have a three-headed problem in between the pipes. Instead of trying to just sell off Kahkonen to whoever is willing to give back the highest draft pick, GM Bill Guerin utilized his problem and used it for his advantage, addressing another problem on the blue line that the 26-year-old Middleton certainly helps with. He solidifies a position that has been teetering on utter failure all season long for the Wild, and now they have two experienced veterans as a tandem.

An arms race in the Atlantic and some notable goalie decisions made for a busy NHL trade deadline. Rory Boylen looks at some winners and losers now that the ...

Toronto can at least point to Mark Giordano as its deadline prize ... however, there's a pretty big BUT attached to it. There's no forgetting that Edmonton's lowest point in the season in late December/early-January was due to the goaltending and Koskinen played a role in that, as did Smith, who just can't stay healthy. With a playoff spot far from a guarantee, GM Ken Holland felt it too risky to pay up some of the wild prices we saw, certainly for rentals, and was largely quiet. They just haven't had any luck at all this season and the biggest question mark before the deadline remains so after it: how bad is Robin Lehner's injury? And now Kahkonen is a casualty of the Fleury trade, sent to San Jose for Jacob Middleton. Tyler Motte comes in to join Barclay Goodrow on a tough fourth line with Ryan Reaves. Remember when the Rangers got pushed around by the Capitals last season? New York bulked up its third line and Andrew Copp as 3C would be terrific there -- but he can also get bumped up to the second line. But deadline season was a good one for Montreal as the Canadiens look to the future. Artturi Lehkonen perhaps could have been re-signed and it's not easy to move on from a player like him, but defenceman Justin Barron was a first-round pick himself just in 2020 and lands the Habs an excellent blue line prospect. Sakic did make an investment to take a swing on Lehkonen and did upgrade some more subtle, yet necessary parts of the roster. The Flames made some earlier deals, most notably Tyler Toffoli, and the Avs already match up well to them. It's being called an arms race because they all improved without a doubt and were actually four of the five most impactful teams this trade season.

NHL trade deadline 2022 recap: A flurry of deals strike at the buzzer (USA TODAY)

Ducks-Golden Knights trade has issue · Hurricanes add forward Max Domi · Oilers add defenseman Brett Kulak, forward Derick Brassard · Islanders re-sign two players.

The Kraken get back forward Daniel Sprong, a 2022 fourth-round pick and a 2023 sixth-rounder. The Jets, sixth in the Central Division, have been a disappointment this season. The Coyotes gave up a 2022 second-round pick for the rights to unsigned Boston College center, who has 33 points in 24 games. The Edmonton Oilers' goaltending also is a question mark. The Wild went through a stretch of goaltending woes this season, and Fleury has three Stanley Cup rings and two other trips to the Final, plus won the Vezina Trophy last season. The Jets get a 2022 fourth-round pick. A busy few minutes for the Rangers, who send a 2023 fourth-round pick to the Canucks for the forward. Leddy's -33 rating with the Red Wings is a little unwieldly but he's mobile and can help a power play, plus has 121 games of playoff experience. The return is a conditional first-round pick. He'll fit in well on the Avalanche's forward group and he's a restricted free agent. In the deal, Anaheim got winger Evgenii Dadonov and a 2023 or 2024 second-round pick and Vegas got injured defenseman John Moore and the contract of injured forward Ryan Kesler. This is likely all about clearing cap space to accommodate the Golden Knights' acquisition of Jack Eichel in the fall. One of the second-round picks could become a first-rounder if the Rangers reach the Eastern Conference final.

NHL trade deadline - Fantasy hockey instant reaction (ESPN)

Fantasy hockey outlooks and everything you need to know about the biggest trades at the NHL trade deadline.

He's not someone to jump on for fantasy production in this new spot, but if you see him start to edge up the depth chart -- particularly replacing Killorn on the top power play -- then Hagel could have some value down the stretch. Tampa Bay Lightning get Brandon Hagel from the Chicago Blackhawks: We'll have to wait and see if Hagel can push out some of the Lightning's top-six regulars, but he's a fantastic insurance policy for any injury on the wings going forward. Ottawa Senators acquire Travis Hamonic from the Vancouver Canucks: There are a couple of subtle fantasy implications here, mostly driven by the fact that Hamonic is one of 26 defensemen averaging 2.0 fantasy points per game or better this season. We can revisit Tippett for fantasy before next season when we see what the Flyers do in the offseason. New York Rangers get Andrew Copp from the Winnipeg Jets: The versatile forward relinquishes his recent spot on the Jets' third line for a potential role among the Rangers' top-six. Rostered in only 10.4% of ESPN.com fantasy leagues, the former 34-goal/35-assist contributor is due for a serious upswing to wrap up 2021-22. Philadelphia Flyers acquire Owen Tippett: Tippett is the Flyers return for the rental of their longtime captain. A defensive stalwart who can manage the power play when he has to, Lindholm should push McAvoy's fantasy value up to the next level. A spot on the Penguins' power play is essentially guaranteed as well. Lindholm has never been a solid fantasy play on his own, topping out at 1.7 fantasy points per game in 2017-18, but he'll make McAvoy better and he'll make life even easier than it already is for Jeremy Swayman. Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Mark Giordano and Colin Blackwell from the Seattle Kraken: This much-rumored trade has come to fruition to give the Leafs another veteran to solidify the blue line. He likely has first dibs on filling out the top line with Barkov and Giroux, and is available in just under 50 percent of ESPN leagues.

2022 NHL trade deadline: 4 biggest winners and losers (Sportsnaut)

Once again, one of the most exciting days in hockey has come and gone. On NHL trade deadline day, most of the buzzed about players, including goaltender.

In losing, they were rendered virtually incapable of making any other moves on trade deadline day, making them losers on the day. One of the surprises in the NHL this season, the Rangers boosted their roster on trade deadline day. Both of their moves came later in the day, and one saw them extend a current roster player. The Rangers are prepping for the playoffs, and adding young, fresh talent helps them in an extremely tight Metropolitan division. This only helps considering Gabriel Landeskog and Samuel Girard are out for a large chunk of the final stretch. Once again, one of the most exciting days in hockey has come and gone.

2021 NHL Trade Deadline Day Tracker, Rumors (Hockey Wilderness)

Everything you need to know about the transactions is right here.

Joseph has excellent offensive skills, but just wasn’t given enough space on the Lightning forward lines that are home to multiple future Hall-of-Famers. Now, he gets to spread his wings in Ottawa and Sens GM Pierre Dorion hopes it works out after having a tough negotiation with the pending free agent Paul. Wedgewood has passed through waivers multiple times, but I guess that means that the Stars want to trade a fourth-round pick that turns into a third-round pick if Dallas makes the playoffs. This one hurts a little bit, but it was a necessary task with Fleury coming into the Minnesotan fold. The Avalanche got a sneaky-good defensively-solid winger at the deadline? They have already acquired forwards Tyson Jost and Nicolas Deslauriers, but have also reportedly been in deep conversations with the Chicago Blackhawks to acquire legendary goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Those aren’t terrible, so maybe they should push a little bit harder to make the team much better.
