So without further ado let’s get to today’s topics.
1) The NHL Trade Deadline is at 2 pm CST Today: In keeping with many of the recent years under the salary cap, don’t expect any big splashes today like there were in an un-capped league. Thus far there have been some bigger moves than expected, but largely teams have only been able to acquire small pieces due to linger issues that can be traced to a flat salary cap that hasn’t expanded all that much. Right now the activity is quiet with only 3 trades executed thus far today seeing Steve Ott and Jannik Hansen go to new homes.
