We’re less than a week from the NHL trade deadline and things are already starting to heat up around the league. Several playoff contenders, including the Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals, and Vancouver Canucks, already bolstered their rosters with notable additions.
The surging Lighting, who trail the league-leading Bruins by a single point, acquired Blake Coleman from the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. One day later, the Canucks snatched Tyler Toffoli — one of the biggest names on the market — from the Los Angeles Kings. On Tuesday, the Metropolitan Divison-leading Capitals added Brenden Dillon to bolster its blue-line.
