Overview
- Friday’s NHL trade deadline is set for 3 p.m. ET on March 6.
- The latest completed move saw Edmonton acquire defenseman Connor Murphy from Chicago for a 2028 second‑round pick, with the Blackhawks retaining 50% of his $4.4 million cap hit.
- Vincent Trocheck confirmed West Coast teams are on his 12‑team no‑trade list and said he prefers to stay near the East Coast, with reports linking him to suitors such as Minnesota, Carolina and Detroit.
- St. Louis is listening on center Robert Thomas but is seeking a significant return, with interested teams reported to include Montreal, Detroit and Utah, and the player holding a full no‑trade clause.
- Reporting casts doubt on a Nazem Kadri reunion with Colorado due to cap considerations and retention hurdles, and suggests a Sergei Bobrovsky move is unlikely as the goalie indicates he wants to remain in Florida.
