The NHL trade deadline came and went on Friday, but ultimately, most of the big-named trade candidates rumored to be available, such as Vincent Trocheck, Sergei Bobrovsky and Robert Thomas, ended up staying put.
Some contending teams managed to make valuable additions at this year’s deadline, while others opted to roll the dice with their current core. The market was slow for much of the day on Friday, though it picked up considerably in the waning moments before the trade deadline passed. An abundance of deals were announced just before the buzzer, with teams like the Avalanche striking late into the trade window before making a move.
